In July of this year, Mom was able to rejoice in the Lord over her 60th spiritual birthday. She rejoiced in the wonder of it all as she shared 60 reasons why she loves the Lord. She got the idea from her sister, Ellen, who did the same on her 50th birthday. May the Lord lift up your heart as you read.
