There is This Woman I Know....

She absolutely defies all odds. When the going gets tough, she always gets tougher. When life seems to be spinning out of control, she finds the grace to let go and let God take the reigns. She exemplifies faithfulness. No matter how rough things get, she finds time for the important things. The demands on her time and resources are HUGE, but still she gives tirelessly of herself.
My Aunt Barb does not seek out praise from others. In a thousand tiny ways a day she serves with no thought of thanks. Today she made time for me in the middle of caring for three small children, and running errands. I am blessed. She loves me. Even on days when it would be easier to pull the covers over her head and shut out the world, this woman rises to every challenge. I have yet to see one instance where my Mom's Big Sister has not given 110%!
If I am lucky, many years from now, it will be said that I am like the great women who were before me. People like my Mother, and my Aunt Barb.
