This week for blogging, our team decided to write about each other. This is us, from another point of view.

Helen is like the sun: warm, bright, and radiating. 

 

If you’ve ever been lucky enough to be held in Helen’s embrace, you know first hand how warm her presence is. Her heart is so full of love that it’s no surprise she is so warm. A heart like hers has the warmth of a million suns. When someone loves so strongly and deeply like Helen does, their heart is bound to work up that kind of warmth. And, man can you feel it when Helen walks into a room. This warmth about her is so inviting, she  draws you in almost immediately. That warmth is something you want to feel, something you want to be a part of. Helen welcomes each and every person into the warmth of her heart from the moment she meets them. With Helen, its easy to pour yourself out and allow her to pour her warm love into you. 

 

Helen is bright and not only because of her gorgeous blonde hair or her beautiful smile that lights up a room. Helen is bright in every sense of the word. If you’re having a bad day, talk to Helen and she will shine some light on it. If you’re sad or upset, talk to Helen and she will help you to see the best in whatever your situation may be. By definition, the word bright means reflecting much light; shining. The light that Helen reflects is that of the Lord. Her brightness comes directly from Him. Helen will bring the light of the Lord into any place she enters. She reflects His light and love vividly in every way that she can and in every aspect of her life. This light shines our of her, brighter than the sun. 

 

Joy is always the first word that comes to mind when I think of Helen; she absolutely radiates joy. Her joy comes from her heart full of love and brightness brought from God. She uses these things to find happiness in any situation she encounters. With this joy, her bright, beautiful smile is ever present. The best part is, Helen never keeps this joy to herself. But, like the rays of the sun, her joy spreads and reaches any and everyone around her. These rays of joy that Helen radiates warms and welcomes, and shines bright for all who are blessed to know her.
