Today we have been celebrating the 90th birthday of my mother in law. Her four daughters arranged a very successful birthday celebration. My mother in law was class mate with my own mother who died five years ago. She has become quite forgetful but is very thankful as she enjoys the moment. I have found that when I speak of the Lord to her and quotes Scriptures to her, then she becomes alive and radiant in her wrinkled face. There are lots of things that she don’t remember, but she is absolutely remembering the Lord.
I find great joy in speaking with old believers who are alive in their spirit even if their body is not functioning properly. It was a joy to celebrate my mother in law’s 90th birthday, especially since she is such a devoted believer.
