I've always enjoyed hearing Pastor Joel speak at our church and I consider him a very gifted teacher. But this past weekend proved that he has many other gifts as well. For his wife's (Kimberly) birthday Joel prepared a wonderful dinner, with Kimberly's favorite foods, for her close friends. It was amazing. He had even made homemade poppy seed dressing for our salads. Kimberly has a sweet tooth so there was an entire table devoted to her favorite sweets as well.
When we sat down to eat, Kimberly had told us that she had awoken at 3 a.m. mentally planning what she would say to us on her birthday. Yes.....on HER birthday she went around and told us each what we meant to her. Us ladies felt SO spoiled, but that is exactly what Kimberly wanted for her birthday.
Kimberly was one of the very first ladies that I had gotten to know when we moved here 4 years ago. Life gets busy, but we plan a monthly get together --usually for lunch -- that often times gets close to supper time before we part ways. We also have some "workout get togethers" at the Y to talk on our treadmills or join in on a muscle class. The things I cherish the most are when we set aside time to just pray for each other. Kimberly is a mighty prayer warrior.
It is actually Kimberly's birthday today and I am praying that my dear friend has a sweet day!
Oh......and yes it's true......this post is a "hint, hint" to my wonderful husband who spoils me too and is always looking for new ideas. :)
