Today in the first part of my Bible study, where all the ladies are together for a lecture, one of the leaders read a poem about one of the other women in honor of her birthday.  It was a surprise for the woman; it is her 90th birthday today!  She was tickled by the poem and a big balloon that someone else brought out.  She had no idea, and was truly honored.  She said it was the nicest thing that ever happened in her whole life.

The speaker got up after all this in order to give her talk, and as she adjusted the mic she said with a grin,"How do you follow a 90th birthday?!"  Everyone chuckled, of course.

She then grinned and said,"Did you all hear what Esther (the birthday girl) said?  She said,'With the 91st!'"

How precious is that?  What a joyful morning.
