We had the privilege of celebrating our dear friend's 96th birthday last week. Ms. Geneva is a member of our church, and we've gotten the chance to know her these past three years since coming to Kenwood. This past year we've gotten to know and love her even more. Since April, every week or two I load up all the kids with a book bag full of snacks and activities and we go to visit and pray with Ms. Geneva. She has shared her life with us and loved on me and the kids so well. She's so patient as three rowdy small children come into her nice, quiet orderly home! She is one of the most content and joyful women I've ever met. She loves Jesus and has walked with him through all seasons of life. Her faithfulness, joy, and hope in the Lord have been such an encouragement and testimony to me, and our kids have grown to love her as well. Her and Madeline especially have formed a sweet little friendship.
So last Wednesday she turned 96, and we took her out to one of her favorite meals on Thursday to celebrate; chicken livers at Lee's Chicken (we had chicken fingers and let her have the livers all to herself)! We had a blast and enjoyed getting to treat this special friend to a special lunch!
Happy Birthday Ms. Geneva! We love you and hope we get to spend many more with you!
