The Amazing Bobbi Shaw

Bobbi Shaw. Maybe you've heard of her, maybe not. Why is it that the people who are truly incredible are the ones rarely spoken of, while the popular and well-known are often eventually found lacking in genuine greatness? I have a hypothesis, but that can be saved for another posting.
I want to tell you about Bobbi Shaw.
Bobbi Shaw sees the weak and fights for them. She is a lover of all things children. She does not faint in adversity, but rather rests in the soundness of mind that has been granted to her from God. She is slow to speak; not full of mindless words and utterances, but rather gives much thought to choosing speech fitting for the moment. She is a person of strong character and deep convictions. Bobbi Shaw does not raise her voice, but exemplifies how to maintain control without 'losing control'. A loyal friend is she, and those who know her, know this well. She will make you better, I know this from many long conversations with her. Bobbi Shaw will balance you with her wisdom. She is a giver, A stay-at-home-mom who teaches Sunday School, participates in Community Outreach on the weekends, spends many, many hours every Sunday working in her church, leads a Bible Quiz Team, cares deeply for her husband, prays for her friends and family, and home-schools her 5 children. 5 incredible, highly intelligent children who love Jesus. So much more could be written about Bobbi Shaw........
Look around you. Observe carefully those with whom you rub shoulders. Is there an Amazing Person in your circle, that maybe has not received the honor due them? Or maybe he or she is there, but you've not experienced the blessing of gleaning from them.
Slow down, and be blessed by the incredible people around you. Pick up some of their attributes. Find out what discipline they are applying that makes them so great. Then apply that to your own life. The 'Bobbi Shaw' in your life was placed there by God for you, and you for her.
The Amazing Bobbi Shaw described above, is my big sister.
