Her hubby was working so I invited her to lunch with us at Gunabul Homestead.
I love the serenity of this place.
Built to withstand the strong Queensland heat the ceilings are 17 ft high.
Femia, Shiarni, Ray, Daniella and I.
There were only five of us.
Shiarn wanted to show Aunty Femia how long she could handstand.
Daughter Femia granddaughter Shiarn with mother, my daughter Daniella.
Yes she is really a blond..
As a teenager Femia, known as Mia, was a top fashion Sydney model working for Chadwick's Model Management.
She appeared on the catwalk, in magazines, on television and in a movie.
She could have gone on and on.
However, she choose as a Christian to follow Jesus and what he ordered for her life.
Today she is a wife to David,
a mother of three
a photographer to many Christian leaders.
And a Christian Counsellor.
God loves you Femia and so do all who know you.
You are a blessing to all.
"Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all.”
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Honor her for all that her hands have done,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate."
but you surpass them all.”
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Honor her for all that her hands have done,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate."
Proverbs 31:29-31

Tell her happy belated birthday from me, if you'd like.
ReplyDeleteThat place sure does look like a very serene place to be, and the pictures are magnificent!
The choice she made is great!
Happy birthday, and I like the place that you chose to celebrate at. Jesus is a better choice than the fashion god!
ReplyDeleteLookin' good at 45 Femia! You're still a model...just showing off other things on God's runway.
ReplyDeleteGlad you all had a nice birthday celebration. :)
This verse is just perfect for your daughter's story! My, she is very beautiful, but she did not let the temptations of the world pull her away from God!!! The modeling pictures at first I thought she was Madonna!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that she enjoyed her day with you folks as much as you enjoyed her company. May the Lord bless and keep each of you.

Hi sweet dear friend, Crystal,
ReplyDeletePlease, say HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUR GORGEOUS BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER, FEMIA FROM ME, STARRY!!
I am sorry to post late, for I was away from the computer. Now, I see your lovely pictures. Femia is a real superb model even nowadays. You all had a wonderful day at the restaurant celebrating your daughter's birthday. You have a great beautiful family, Crystal Mary. I am glad that you are recovering well from your surgery, sweetheart. Thank you so much for all your warm birthday wishes on my way!!
I guess, the month of September is a month of many birthdays. My granddaughter, Crystal Marie turns 14 in September 28th, as well as many other friends of mine. Woooowwww!!! We all have so much fun in September. Praise the Lord for His many blessings on us.
God may bless you, Crystal, and all your beloved wonderful family!!
