  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I submit the following 
Proclamation.
  Whereas, one hundred years ago a virtuous woman of God, Edna Louise 
Flint House was born in Decatur, Georgia on December 7, 1913 to John 
and Louise Flint; and
  Whereas, she was raised up in DeKalb County, Georgia and married Mr. 
Jesse House and their union has blessed our district and nation ever 
since; and
  Whereas, this phenomenal Proverbs 31 woman has shared her time and 
talents as a wife, mother and motivator, becoming a Georgia citizen of 
great worth, a fearless leader and a servant to all by always advancing 
the lives of others; and
  Whereas, Mrs. House has been blessed with a long, happy life, devoted 
to God and credits it all to the Will of God; she serves as a Mother at 
New Beginning Full Gospel Baptist Church in Decatur, Georgia; and
  Whereas, Mrs. House along with her pastor, Bishop James H. Morton, 
her family and friends are celebrating a remarkable milestone, her 
100th Birthday, we pause to acknowledge a woman who is a cornerstone in 
Decatur, DeKalb County, Georgia; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to honor and recognize Mrs. House on her 
birthday and to wish her well and recognize her for an exemplary life 
which is an inspiration to all; Now therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' 
Johnson, Jr., do hereby proclaim December 7, 2013 as Mrs. Edna Louise 
Flint House Day in the 4th Congressional District of Georgia.
  Proclaimed, this 7th day of December, 2013.
