What a Gal!

All of us that know and love Donna know that in that "5-foot-nothing" frame of hers is a heart that loves God, family, friends, and even strangers. We also know that behind all that compassion and love is a mighty spirit that is tougher than nails.

Jan just told that Donna walked yesterday...not just a stroll, she walked 60 feet! You go, girlfriend!! Can you believe it? It's amazing, but why would we expect less because we know that Donna's strength comes from an almighty, all powerful God--A Wonderful, Merciful Savior.



Wonderful, merciful Savior
Precious Redeemer and Friend
Who would have thought that a lamb could
Rescue the souls of men, Oh You rescue the souls of men

Counselor, Comforter, Keeper
Spirit we long to embrace
You offer hope when our hearts have
Hopelessly lost the way, Oh we hopelessly lost the way

You are the One that we praise
You are the One we adore
You give the healing and grace our
Hearts always hunger for, Oh our hearts always hunger for

Almighty infinite father
Faithfully loving Your own
Herein our weakness You find us
Falling before Your throne, Oh we're falling before Your throne

  1. You go!! I wish I could have seen that. I don't know if you had a walker or cane or all by yourself, but I am gonna make a date with you if it was a cane. We're gonna have a cane romp...I think I can beat you cause I've had more practice......and because you're older than I am!!!!!

  2. Way to go! With God's help, I knew you could do it. You girls don't have to worry about the age thing, because I've got both of you beat by years----well a few anyway.

    Love & blessings to all of you! Jeanette

  3. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DONNA!!!
    I enjoyed being with you so much! I have missed you terribly! I am so proud of you. You keep on getting it! Eat, eat, EAT! Walk, walk, WALK! Be the little engine that said, "I think I can, I think I can!" And, I know you will. Next time I come to visit, we're gonna walk some laps together!
    I hope you have a better day, today.
    Happy Birthday, again - and I love you much!

  7. Dear Donna,
    You are constantly in my thoughts and prayers and I continually tell people about your amazing faith in God. Highland Ave COB has had you on their prayer list as well and several people at church ask me how you are doing. I just wanted to check in and wish you a very Happy Birthday!
    Love you,
    Sheri
