Today is a very important day. My very dear friend Edith is 80 years young today. I met Edith over 17 years ago. We were attending another church in the area and the very first thing that I did as a service to the church was to make a cake for her husband's funeral. Edith and I have been close friends ever since. Edith has been a member of her church for a total of 49 years. Edith was saved as a small child. Edith is a perfect example of a GODLY woman. She has her time with the Lord daily (never call her before 8:00am). She is a faithful prayer warrior and she attends church faithfully. Edith is a great example of the Titus 2 woman. I can't even begin to tell you all that Edith has taught me. When Edith was about to be married to her husband her father passed away and the newly weds had to have her mother (with Alzheimer's) move in with them. Shortly after her mother passed away her dear husband found out he had Parkinson's. Edith found her self giving extensive medical care to some one all of her life. Edith has served with chalk talks in her Sunday School class. She has served in any way that she can in her local church for 49 years. Edith has served her family over and over again. Edith has three wonderful kids who all live in the area and see her often. Edith has been a "spiritual" mom to me for over 17 years. When things seem like they are out of control she is the one I call for prayer. Edith is the one who has taught me to be a "spiritual" mom to others. I can't even to begin to imagine what my life would be like if the Lord had not brought Edith into my life. I look forward to our next "hey do you have any popcorn?" night. (that means I need to talk and pray with you). Edith is a REAL blessing to so many, but Edith means the world to me. Happy Birthday Edith. I Love you with ALL my heart. Because you have invested in me I find my self investing in others and there is no other blessing like it. Thank You for all the time and love you put in to me. I look forward to many more birthdays to come.

Happy Birthday Miss Edith! Thank you for sharing on my blog about the "welcome". I know Mrs. Fink and her home always says welcome; I agree!
Kris,
I forgot you wanted my recipe for the cupcakes. I must admit these were a quick box mix with cream cheese frosting in which I took 2 food colors red/yellow and made the frosting. They seems to go well. The chocolate chip cookies our on my blog recipes. Have a great day.
