Mar. 21, 2006 - Birthday Tribute
Today is my sister's birthday. I won't tell you her age, because that isn't proper and all, but I will tell you I was born on her second birthday and I turned 37 today. I was her best gift that year and as a present to me she gave me silverware. Of course, this was thrown at me in my bassinet, but it was the thought that counts. Since that time, she became very protective of me. As young girls we shared a bedroom and she would tell me to crawl past the bedroom window so that the witch that lived in the abandend house across the road would not see me and kill me. Not many sisters would care that much about their little sisters, do you think?
Besides being so protective, she was also very proud of me. She would brag about my cleaning abilities when Mom and Dad would go to town, then she would tell Mom she did the cleaning.
When it came to babysitting, she was the best. Her favorite way to watch me was to help me climb the big Maple tree in the front yard and then leave me there until our parents came home.
However, now that we are grown she has become my best friend. She was there to encourage me to homeschool when most people thought I was crazy. She is also one of the few who loved to hear about any new pregnancies. Actually,she laughs hysterically everytime I tell her a new one is on the way. I have actually helped her spiritual relationship with God as she is able to repeatedly thank Him it is me and not her expecting again.
All kidding aside, I thank God everyday for the relationship I have with my older sister and for the love of God I am able to see in her live. She is a blessing to all of us.
I love you with all my heart Tammy, have a wonderful birthday.

I am sending out a "mass apology" to everyone I told about "The Clean Heart, Clean Home Challenge". I have received some comments in regard to leaving the button on people's blogs and I feel the best way to make sure there aren't others who are offended, is to apologize to those I sent the notice to.
I feel just horrible that some thought I was "advertising" in some way when my intention was to share with other homeschoolers what I was offering as encouragement and a way for us to join together.
If you are one who was upset by my post, please feel free to delete it and email me or leave a comment on my page and I will personally apologize. To those who have joined in The Challenge, I'm so looking forward to what the Lord has in store for us and hope we will all be able to bless our families and grow in the Lord through it! Thank you most importantly for seeing my heart. I never meant to disregard anyone's post when I left the comment about the Challenge, and want you all to know that anything you ever have to say to me, whether on topic or not, is more than welcome on my blog. I will also be making a new category on my blog that will list those of you who don't mind getting urgent prayer requests or information from time to time. I hope this way I will be able to avoid upsetting anyone similarly in the future.
Thanks for allowing me to comment on your blog. I hope you will accept my apology (and not be upset that I'm "off topic" from your post, but I have many people to get to still tonight).
In Him,
Amy Verlennich
