What does my faith tree look like this many years after sowing my "Bobbypin tree"? Learning to know the faith, the size of a bobbypin cross.

Today is the bobby-pin lady's birthday. Second grade, she found herself far from her mommy and daddy. She found real faith in God. She said to God that she wanted to be with her mommy and daddy and not there at the boarding school. God gave her what she wanted and let her mommy and daddy come and get her and take her home and gave her a sister and 2 more brothers to enjoy after that.

It was amazing that she valued family and God's instruction about what a wife and mommy should be. God let her have a very big tree of faith by the time I met her when she was 20. Now, at 73, I can't see the top of her faith tree. Every once in a while fruit from her tree drops to the ground and we can see that it is much bigger than we could know about. Mountainous faith of continuance and blessing. God is still answering prayer. God is still planting new trees for her. God is faithful and if someone has the faith of a mustard seed, he can say to this mountain...We know he does, because our trees are still growing.

Happy Birthday, Mommy!
