This month she turns 70! So we are doing challenges that kind of go along with Liz's life story, or that add some fun to this big event in her life.<br />
<br />
Liz has lived most of her life near the Gulf of Mexico, so salt water seems to run in her veins. Since August 7th is Lighthouse Day, use a lighthouse on your card and use a scripture or encouraging verse to add to it, letting words be a way to light someone on their path of life.<br />
