When I Grow Up

When I grow up I want to be just like Phyllis Fischer. She was the daughter and niece of the two "little old ladies" in our church when I was growing up. They lived with her and she cared for them. Of course as a kid I thought they were all "old", but sweet as pie. I saw Phyllis the other week and she looks awesome! She will soon be 80 years old and is just the same now as she was 20 years ago. She was, until this week, still the full time care giver of her just turned 106 year old mother. I want to be 80 and be caring for others. I want to be 80 and look this good. I want to be 80 and be this kind and loving. I want to be 80 and have this kind of smile that comes from deep within: to have weathered the trials of life and survived the heart aches only to proclaim that God is faithful and good. I want to be like Phyllis Fischer when I grow up!
