My sweet Sarah has such a servants heart. She is always going about doing good.
Names have always been important to us and so when Jimmy and I were choosing a name for her we really wanted her to have a strong, special name. The one we had picked out for most of my pregnancy just didn't end up feeling right. Jimmy came up with Sarah and we loved it, but then we couldn't decide on a middle name. We decided to name her after Jimmy's grandmother "Rosemarie". Thus we got "Sarah Rose". His Grandmother is always going about doing good and she cares so much for her family that she is always doing little things for them, just like my Sarah. They seem to have very similar personalities, they will do anything for you...just don't get on their bad side or you will have trouble :-) Ha ha ha! There is a scripture from the Bible that reminds me so much of Sarah and Grandma Rose....
1 Peter 4:10:
"As Every man hath received the gift, even so, minister the same one to another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God."
To me, both Sarah and Grandma Rose exhibit the Grace of God. I don't know how much things can get passed from one generation to the next, but I really feel that we were inspired to name her after her Great-Grandmother Rose.
She is always thinking about ways that she can serve other people...on any given day she can be found sweeping our neighbors porches, caring for her younger siblings, washing dishes for me, reading books to Luke, cooking special treats for people, doing special things for Seth and Daddy while they are at school, etc...
Yesterday she went next door and helped our neighbor clean her house and today she sat down with Luke to help him paint pictures to give out as Christmas gifts.
Jimmy and I have asked her a number of times what she wants from Santa this year and she always tells us that whatever he wants to get her is fine.
On the other hand, she has been working for weeks on gifts for everyone else in our family. The only gifts under our tree are presents she has made or bought and wrapped herself. She is definitely not concerned with herself at all.
