"Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear—but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious."

Debra,

​I am taken back daily at your imperishable beauty.  Seven years ago when we covenanted to forsake all others, I did not know what I had.  To be sure, I knew you were special and could not imagine being wedded to anyone else, but in this I am most greatly blessed.  Just when I thought I had seen you at your best, we had Annabelle, and I got to see you as a mother (not just once but three times over!).  In motherhood, your true greatness shows throughout.  Not because you transverse everyday with ease and perfection, but because you have sought to be transformed into the image of Christ all along the way.  In response to this beauty, I stand in awe.  Our girls are so blessed to be discipled by such a wonderful mother; amother that will show them Christ in all things.  In motherhood, you have joyfully chosen a lowly profession, in the world's eye, and present your beautiful humility.  I cannot express my gratitude, appreciation, love for what you do, for who you are.  Ultimately I know you have only desired to glorify our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, but in that pursuit you have graced and blessed our family with an immeasurable gift.

"Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all,"

-Proverbs 31:29
