This past summer my son and I attended Vacation Bible School at the church where I grew up. It was neat seeing the familiar faces, the changes made in the church and the altar where I knelt and asked Jesus into my heart.
I thrilled to sit in on the adult class they offered each evening. I was even more thrilled knowing Miss Wilma was teaching it. Miss Wilma was a teacher of mine when I was small. I don’t think she’d mind me saying she was what I considered very old then, and now some thirty years later? Well, she’s that much older.
She’s a poster child for the verse I uncovered in the Word this morning. She’s at a ripe old age still producing fruit, still touching lives, still desiring that people come to know her Lord and Savior. She’s vital and green, still growing, still serving and still wanting to please her Father.
Miss Wilma was transplanted into the house of the Lord years ago, and I’m pleased to announce, she’s thriving in His environment.
