Her Children Stand and Bless Her

Last year, Ian’s birthday theme was pirates. Kelly responded with extreme prejudice.

She was relieved when he chose ‘baseball’ as this year’s theme; how difficult is it to upend a bowl? Less so when he finally decided on Cars.

While God may not have had quite this moment in mind, today’s verse is still more than appropriate, cake- or otherwise:

Her children stand and bless her. Her husband praises her: “There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass them all!”

Proverbs 31:28-29
