The baby in this picture, Grietje Spoelstra, is turning 90 tomorrow!
While I grew up this picture was framed at my grandparents home; the woman holding the baby was my great-grandmother. This picture of five generations is indeed special!
Happy Birthday Mrs. Spoelstra. We wish you the Lord's blessing and nearness for the years ahead. John has fond memories of the time he worked for Harm, many years ago. Mrs. Spoelstra was always so kind and loving, she even made him some extra long t-shirts which he wore for a long time. (He couldn't buy them long enough). Have a wonderful day with your family! John and Joyce Menger
ReplyDeleteI also send the greeting from my Dad, Martin Rintjema. They grew up very close to each other in Friesland.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Mrs. Spoelstra!! May God richly bless you in the year to come. Our family has always enjoyed the nice visits we have had together. What a blessing to see that picture of five generations as well. The Lord is faithful.
