97 TODAY!
Yes, you read that right!! :)
I am so, so, so thankful for this precious woman.
Let me share why I love her so much...
This is the woman who has loved me unconditionally for the past 22 plus years.
This is the woman who cooks for my entire family every Sunday & Wednesday.
This is the woman who cleaned Ecru Baptist Church for over 70 years and didn't retire until she turned 90.
This is the woman who says her pound cake which includes 6 cups of sugar won't hurt your figure.
This is the woman who is losing her vision, but reads her Bible (using her magnifying machine) multiple times a day.
This is the woman who has helped teach me to care genuinely about others.
This is the woman who has rocked 1 daughter, 2 grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren.
This is the woman whose hands are filled with wrinkles because she's worked hard to earn them.
This is the woman who lived through the Great Depression and has many stories to tell.
This is the woman who lost her mother when she was 8 years old.
This is the woman who married her sweetheart, Papaw Truett, when she was 16 years old. (They were married in their car, outside the church, by the preacher)
This is the woman who says "Hey Sug" and "That's what I say."
This is the woman who still wants to rake the leaves in her yard.
This is the woman who never misses a church service.
This is the woman who has taught me to make many things including jelly, dressing, berry roll, biscuit dough, etc.
My adorable Beezie: dedicated, strong, compassionate, loving, God-fearing, wise, silly, precious, fabulous, beautiful, etc.
I'm not sure that I could ever adequately put into words what Beezie means to me and my family. We cherish every day with her. She is such a blessing.
Can you imagine being 97??
Happy Birthday Beezie!
I love you!!
ps: If you're reading this, please say a prayer for my Mamaw (Beezie's daughter). She's having some stomach complications and is in the hospital having tests run. Thanks in advance!!
Until next time.
Love God. Love people.

This tribute to Beezie brought tears to my eyes! Truly a Proverbs 31 woman! I love older women who keep moving! I pray God will allow me to be to my family 1/16th of what Beezie is to you! God bless her sweet heart and God bless you for honoring her with your sweet words!
