Today I’m thankful for my daughter Angela, my third born. Is it a characteristic of 3rd born children to be agreeable and cooperative? I’m not sure, but those are 2 of Angela’s personality slants. We have never had much trouble at all out of Angela. She is just one of those types of people that wants to please.
Now, wanting to please can be both good and bad. Good, if she’s doing what she knows is right, but bad if she ends up pleasing someone who is taking her down the wrong road. Fortunately Angela has always had an obedient heart for God, so she was strong enough to say no to those kinds of people. She has always had a very tender heart, but also a strong one, which is a great combination if you can get it.
Angela has the natural athletic abilities of her brother too. She really excelled on the soccer field and it was more of a case of giftedness than work. She could just do it and do it well. She was also very teachable which helped. She was also good at basketball, but only because of her lightning fast reflexes in the defensive field of play. She may have made 3 baskets her entire career, but the number of steals she accumulated would be hard to match.
As I said earlier, Angela has always had a heart for God. She loves Him intensely and obeys His voice. She also has a heart for others and puts that love into action in every way she can find. She is involved in many ministries here locally and has even gone overseas a number of times to work with the extremely needy in the world.
A heart for God; a heart for others; a hearty laugh and fun loving personality; an obedient spirit and beauty to top it all off; Angela is someone I’ll always be thankful for.
Thank you God for giving us such a precious gift.
