Some People I Admire

Here's to those I admire, whose acts of faith and love may go unnoticed by others. You guys ROCK! I'm honored to know you!

I admire the children who share their love with the seniors at Berryhill Manor.

I admire the little girl who encouraged her church friends to invite other kids to church.

I admire the teenage boy who walks to 2 miles to church on Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings because his parents don't go.

I admire the teenage girls who answer Christ's call to serve teaching and helping in children's ministry. They don't know what wonderful mentors and examples they are to the children.

I admire the widower who lost his wife over a year ago, yet greets everyone with a smile and a hug.

I admire the students at Pace High who are standing up for their faith in the midst of the ACLU's lawsuit. No one asked them to, they just are. I especially admire the young man who has started a morning Bible Study before school at his house and 100 kids showed up!

I admire the faith of the family who is affected by cancer. What an incredible faith and strength they have!

I admire my husband, whose faith is strong and is my gentle giant, a quiet leader, wonderful father, and the rock of strength God placed in my life.

I admire the friend who has courageously stood up for her children through a health crisis and other difficult situations. Yet she is always ready to help others in their time of need.

I admire the friends who serve in children's ministry though their lives are already so busy. Neither rain, sleet, snow, hail, nor high water keeps them from serving!

I admire the friend who is always so supportive and ready to help at a moments notice...even coming to babysit me in recovery after surgery. "I'm in pain and I gotta pee!" She saw me at my worst and survived!

I admire my fellow believers around the world who put their lives on the line to share the Gospel.

I admire the single moms who make sure their children are in church and are being brought up in the Lord.

I admire the parent whose spouse is working long distance or stationed oversees. You guys have so much strength to keep your families going through these times.

I admire those who have overcome addictions and life's troubles, who are now experiencing life filled with hope and joy! You have such a strength about you and your lives are such a great testimony.

I admire the pastor and his wife, who have risked all and remained obedient to God's calling.

I admire the parents who have dedicated themselves to spiritual growth and committed to ensuring their children are 'trained up in the way they should go.'

I admire the friends who faithfully teach/help in a moments notice in an emergency, even if it's not their turn.

And you know what? Every one of these people are the most humble, selfless people I know. The Lord surely delights in each and everyone of them.

'For the Lord delights in his people;he crowns the humble with victory.' Psalm 149:4

These are just some of the people that I admire. They are special and awesome!
