Trekkin' at Ninety-one

Last week we had the priviledge of taking Aunt Mary to El Porvenir. We were well at over 8,000 feet elevation and we hiked up the trail, at some places that were perhaps a 40 degree slope. She is one incredible lady!




Three years ago we took her there and she crossed this creek three times stepping on rocks and walking on logs. But of course, we helped her AND she was only eighty-eight then!




Cousin Bertha came along, too! She takes good care of her mother and is not only a relative but a dear friend and sister in Christ with whom we share our spiritual journey.




Aunt Mary is careful not to allow negative confesions to come out of her mouth. Perhaps that is one of her secrets. I finally figured out when she was tired, she'd say, "The joy of the Lord is my strength."

The best part of the trip, for us was a prayer time when she laid hands on us, insisting on anointing us with oil and prayed for us. What a blessing!
