Sunshine
Today is my mother's birthday.
I love my mom. She is the most incredible human I have ever met. She not only raised me, but you could say that she raised half of Tampa Bay as well. It's true. For 15 years, the majority of Tampa Bay middle schoolers visited her youth group at one point or another, I assure you.
My mother is many things, but at the same time my mother is one thing. My mother is sunshine.
Today is the one day of the year that we get to dedicate to Sherrie and the ray of sunshine that she is in this world; lighting up the lives of so many people and lifting their spirits from doom and gloom.
About 6 months ago Sherrie transitioned from 15 years of full-time middle school youth ministry to being a pastor of care. Care-Bear-Sherr. That's my mom.
I'm so proud of her and the joy that she's now bringing to the community in her new position. Nobody knows how to care like a mother, and beyond that, nobody knows how to care like MY mother.
So here's to Care-Bear-Sherr and the sunshine that she is to us all. I love you mom. It's a new chapter, and while you've spent so much of your life being the sunshine that lifts the spirits of others, it's your turn now. It's time to let your spirit soar!
