Grandma's Sweet 60th!!

It was an added blessing to be here to celebrate a milestone in my mom's life--her 60th birthday! The Lord's timing is really perfect. She said the best present was having us here with her, well, she was probably mostly talking about her two grandchildren!

We gave her a "made in PNG" bamboo plant holder!

And this outdoor fireplace. Of course, Jonathan and Karlyn had to roast marshmallows on it!

The stats say that 55 is the average life span in PNG. Comparing that to Canada where most people live to be 80 or 90, you realize how blessed we are here. What a blessing it is that the Lord has given my mom 60 years and she is still healthy and going strong. (No one can believe that she's already 60!). Praise God for His care over her.

That would be smashing to have family home for Mom's birthday, can well imagine, how that would mean so much.
She does look very well at 60!
We hope and pray that you are enjoying your time with family and friends. Take care.
