I HAVE developed such a strong bond with the seniors in my church ( Love & Faith) and I have been enjoying precious moments with them. Since I’ve spent my birthday with them in 2015, they have invited me to join them when the church hosted a brunch in their honour, and another time when a dinner was hosted.

The expression of love and affection displayed after Sunday’s service is overwhelming. Recently I joined them for a wonderful trip to Berbice. You learn so much being with these wise people who have so many stories from their journeys.

We travelled all the way to Springlands and we even got a tour of the Canaima Ferry Stelling. The decision was made that the next time we are there is on our trip to Suriname.
We had a short worship session before our delicious lunch at Little Rock Hotel.

Travelling up and down on the bus was so much fun. I took a book to read and didn’t get a chance because it was so engaging with meaningful discussions of life lessons. Sister Donna was the live wire of the group. She was talking about marriage and relationships and shared some valuable nuggets. She even shared the vision that she had of me that I would be getting married sometime in the near future (lol), so it seems like we will be having a wedding soon. Trips like these really make me appreciate the leadership of our church. The church took care of all the expenses and we were treated really well.

We had food and drinks from the time the trip started to the time it ended. I felt a bit sad because I always remember my grandmother. Sometimes we don’t realise the value of our seniors in our society. My grandmother played such an important part in my daughters’ lives, especially, Shontay. Some of her values she definitely got from the late Winifred Gibson, who was my grandmother.

The next day my grandson, Jaidyn Jordan, celebrated his 17th birthday and he had a marvellous party.
His aunt Shonta, outdid herself with the décor with a Fortnite Game theme. I love to watch them at that age and listen to their conversations.

I was looking at them in the bouncy castle and their games and thinking before you know it, the years pass and they are grown. JJ is so advanced for his age and I love the discussions we have. I am trying to create lots of memories with him. “Love you Gramma” those words melt my heart and remind me how blessed I am.

We have one life and let’s create memorable moments, especially with the people we love.
