| Miss Louise and hostess, Peggy, who has honored her with birthday luncheons since 2006. |
Job’s
words flooded my mind because I knew the Lord had blessed her with this length
of years. Truly, “in His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of
all mankind.” (Job 12:10) Few people ever realize that many years on earth. Shouldn't we be celebrating each breath with gratitude?
Miss
Louise not only celebrates age in years but her mind, still very sharp, allows
those of us around her to celebrate too, as she shares a wealth of wisdom and
stories. What fun to listen as she reminisced about the “ last” time she was at
Mackinac Island and the governor's wedding was taking place there. Though not “officially” at the
wedding, island guests were able to view it on a large screen in the lobby of
The Grand, where she was staying. She concluded her view was probably better
than those of the guests in attendance. She also recalled all the geraniums and
the “tea” available each day.
Job
12:12 provides today’s questions. “Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not
long life bring understanding?” It certainly has for “Miss Louise.”
So
here’s a “cuppa” to "Miss Louise" on her 101st Birthday! What a
privilege to serve her during this year's celebration!
