Lifetime of service

Let me introduce you to a wonderful gal named Marilyn, pictured below with her camper at Joni & Friends Retreat. She is an inspiration to me. In the last year she has served on four missions trips and volunteers continually at her church. I had to find out how old she was and she told me she'll be celebrating her 81st birthday!

I commended her and thanked her for her service. I told her she is such a great example as so many will use age as an excuse not to serve. I asked if i could tell others about her and share her age. She was delighted and said that would be her prayer. She wants to serve as long as she is alive and she wants to encourage others to do the same.

Thanks, Marilyn!
