We do those giveaways at our church as well..it was funny, the "oldest" moms didn't really want to stand up at first:) Guess it really doesn't matter what age you are! The oldest mom at our church will be 95 in two weeks!! And I think she has more energy than I do - she is incredible!<br /><br />And what a blessing long marriages are...such an encouragement to the rest of us! Give your mom an extra hug for us:)<br /><br />Hope your Sunday was special as well!
