Maggie Andrew is the A-typical all American girl at first glance. She is a straight A, sweet as pie beauty queen...literally, a beauty queen! While everyone can see her gorgeous curls and sparkling green eyes those who know her well see inner beauty that makes her even more remarkable. Maggie is one of the most compassionately affirming people I know. She is continuously concerned about the feelings of those around her and goes to great effort to make them feel comfortable and accepted. She doesn't see differences in physical appearance or mental ability. She sees people. People made in the image of God deserving of His loving kindness. I have treasured watching her grow into a godly woman who lives out Christ's love in caring for those around her.
Roseanna Grace has grown up running around barefoot, hunting crawdads and riding horses despite their having been prepped with saddle and bridal or roaming free in the pasture. She's also a raving beauty but with large doe eyes and brown wavy hair. She's the soft spoken quiet one in a group but if you can listen carefully enough to hear what she has to say it will likely be hilariously funny. She is a loyal, honest, salt of the earth type of MS girl. What you may or may not know about Roo is her unbelievable spirit of perseverance. Chronic pain has made very simple tasks like getting out of bed and getting to school very difficult and at times impossible. Her acceptance of the trials in her young life is inspiring. She not only believes God's sovereignty but lives out that belief with grace and contentment.
I'm so proud of you both! While your character has been shaped in large part to wonderful parents and grand parents, you each have made your own choices and will reap the blessings of your faithfulness. Aunt Welah loves you!
