Happy Birthday Mom!

Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.
She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idelenss.
Her children rise up an call her blessed.

Proverbs 31:25-28a

Happy Birthday Mom!

Today, August 20th, we celebrate three amazing people in our lives.

Our dear friend, Ellen Fagundes who currently lives in Oregon but even from a distance continues to bless us with her words of encouragement, prayers, and silly pictures and memes on Facebook. Thank you Ellen…and Happy Birthday!

My brother, Andrew Pryfogle, who continues to amaze our family with his business ventures, cycling adventures, and fantastic culinary arts. Yum! We love you Andrew…and Happy Birthday!

And lastly…my mother! Pamela D. Pryfogle (she hate’s it when people call her Pamela).

Mom, we celebrate you today!

You are full of joy and laughter, embracing the adventures of life with courage and boldness.

You are a woman of integrity, speaking the truth of your heart and living your life in honest transparency.

You are a friend to many, providing Godly counsel and encouragement.

You are a grandmother of ten (yes, I am counting Matthew), seeking always to love each grandchild in their own special way.

You are a mother of five… well… mother of five… enough said.

You are a wife to one, whom you will always love and cherish.

And for me… you are the epitome of the Proverbs 31 Woman, delighting yourself daily in the Lord and desiring the best for your home and for your family.

Words cannot fully express the gratitude that fills my heart for the strong and wise woman of God you have continued to be in my life.

I love you. And I celebrate you!
