41 years ago, "Abraham and Sarah" Layne had a baby - and I am glad! Karla is always so much fun. As Sis. Stephens said in church this morning, she is a "bundle of joy!" (The church gave her a trip to a spa which I am sure she will be using very soon.)I am thankful every day for her— the blessing that God allowed in my life. She has not once complained about where God has called us and the sacrifices that have had to be made. I believe God has some great surprises for her this year!
One of the great gifts she got this year was for Alayna Elms, her great-niece, here for a visit. She was with us in service this morning and was worshipping throughout the songs! Her mom and dad are missing her, but she has been so much fun! "Knock-knock!" "Who's there?" She is full of those!
Her best friend in the world, Sharon Bivens, took off work to spend this weekend with her. They have talked non-stop since Sharon's arrival. I left the house for about 2 hours and came back to find them in the same spot - talking and laughing! Thanks Sharon, for taking time to come visit (and bring Alayna with you), it really means a lot to Karla.
One of the things about growing a year older is that your children are also getting older AND TALLER! Here she is with the boys who LOVE being taller than her. . .and me! Chad is almost there. Happy Birthday, Karla! We all love you so much.
