(Loving her cool new bike basket...Thanks Oma and Funny G.!)
Elka, you are so very LOVED today and every day!
It's a funny thing with our Elka...she seems so much older than 11. She, like Aida, has always been
about a decade (at least!) ahead of herself in many ways. I often have to remind myself of her age.
Elka, you are fun, generous, creative, sacrificial, artistic, affectionate, bold, funny, willing, loving, and a very exciting person!
You're always "up for it" and rarely embarrassed...a quality that will carry you far as you witness for Jesus and love people.
Elka, you bring energy to our family in a rainbow of ways...always have and I'd guess you always will.
The way you love and serve is inspiring. The way you create constantly mirrors the Father.
The way you strive to become a better person according to the Word encourages us all.
Elka, we love you so very much and are blessed to share our lives with you!
(Apples To Apples, Ice Cream Sandwich Cake with Reece's, Charades...Elka's idea of a partay!)
Happy 11th Birthday, beloved daughter...We are very proud of you!
"But the righteous are bold."
Proverbs 28:1
