80 year old aunt

Paul's 80 year old aunt from KL visited an afternoon, two weeks ago. She will be travelling to Melbourne to meet up with her children and grandchildren, some coming from Wellington. They are celebrating her 80th birthday. Nowadays for many families, the children are located in different parts of the world and it really takes some planning to get everyone to meet.
It is amazing to see this aunt, at 80, still sprightly, mentally alert, and spiritually exuberant. She pulled out a leaflet to share with me, what she learned from a 3-day conference she attended in October - how we should be a blessing and make an impact on our Family, our Community and our Society.
She has every intention to bring this leaflet to Melbourne and talk her heart out to her children and grandchildren, and bless them with God's word! Such enthusiasm! I pray that some will listen to her and be blessed.
Her visit is truly God's grace to me. I have always bore this guilt of not being a good DIL. The afternoon with this aunt provided a time for me to express and respond with a little affection.
