This is the youngest picture of me that I could find.

It’s not great because I took it from a family photo. But I treasure it, and love how my dad is holding me.

This was when I was about the age of 10.

This was a bit younger than 20, but it will represent that decade.

I was 30 when our youngest child, Deb was born.

I became a grandmother at the age of 42, so this will represent my 4th decade.

At the age of 50 I was in the early stages of serving on staff – and fulltime with Transport For Christ.

By 60 we were enjoying our quickly growing family.

By 70 I was getting gray.

And here I am at 80 – fully gray and fully retired.

God has been good to me through the highs and lows of each decade.
