We have been waiting for this day for 100 years. Well, I have not personally been waiting for 100 years but I know someone who has. And that's exciting.
Happy birthday to my grandmother, Bertha Moyer, who is 100 years young today.
Today we celebrate the one who has wished love and prayers to her 6 children, 18 grandchildren, 40 great grandchildren, and 11 great great grandchildren for our whole lives.
We celebrate the one who taught us that adversity can make us stronger and that God is the sustainer of our days, no matter what comes.
We celebrate the one who has filled our homes with handmade quilts, toys, doilies, and many other treasured items.
We celebrate the one who taught us to love ice cream and that it's okay to hoard it and eat it alone in the bathroom so you don't have to share.
We celebrate the one who has shared my parents' home since I was in high school - and still lives there today.
We celebrate the one who still enjoys crossword puzzles, reading, and handcrafts (as her arthritic hands allow).
We celebrate the one who loves family gatherings and loves to laugh.
We celebrate the one who taught us that it's no use having idle hands when there are more crafts to be made.
We celebrate the one who has less gray hair than folks half her age.
We celebrate another year God has blessed us with you.
Have a great day! Love and prayers, Your family
