My beautiful girl was chosen to read her essay about Veteran’s Day at her school this week. It was a wonderful program recognizing those who have served our country. Our family has a long history of servicemen going back to the American Revolution, so hearing my 12 year old daughter stand in front of a crowd of hundreds talking about why we should appreciate and respect our Veterans was special.
Not only did she get up there, but she knocked it out of the park! I know she was petrified standing in front of the crowd, but no one could tell. It’s fumny, I’ll speak anywhere – but I haven’t always been this way. I certainly wasn’t open to speaking publically in the 7th grade. It’s just one more way I watch God show up and provide perfect peace at exactly the right moment.
1 Timothy 4:12
Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.

A great day!
I wore short shoes – what was I thinking??

Wish I could have heard her present her essay! Was at decatur High School.
Grace is a beautiful girl. I know all of you are proud of the fabulous young lady she is becoming. I wish I could read what she wrote. It must have been a great tribute to our veterans, and yes, we do have so very many that served our country. Beth and Bil both look so good and very proud to stand with Grace.
