Dear Kim,
Happy birthday to you, a dear and special lady!
I love that your family is allowing us to write you notes expressing why you are dear to us. I'd like to start with your warmth and friendliness. You're an easy person to approach, and you are consistently friendly when someone does approach you. Not just giving a greeting, but smiling, cheerful and open hearted. Your whole face smiles when you smile.
Another quality about you that I admire and am exhorted by is that you don't seem to waste time. You get busy with the work of the church and fill in where needed, including bringing many people to church. You seem to have a passion for bringing people to church. You are known in our body for service and for doing good, not for standing by and waiting to be coaxed.
Finally, I see your active and living trust in God. You believe him in truth and cling to him because of that truth. You often take him at his word because you are convinced that he is trustworthy. That kind of faith draws others to the Lord and helps us to see that he is good and can and ought to be trusted.
God bless you this year, Kim—I'm following you to 50 in February. I'll let you know how it goes!
With much love to you,
Andi Greene
