100 and FABULOUS

Ruth Blizzard, a Maranatha Village resident, celebrated 100 years of God’s faithfulness. She is an amazing lady: presenting herself with grace and a clear mind. She was asked, “What is the secret for reaching the age of 100?” She answered, “Focus on helping others. Do not say, ‘Let me know if you need something. Rather, say ‘How can I help you?’”

Ruth’s kindness to others sets an example, and is a characteristic of Maranatha Village life. Her future is bright, here in the Village and in eternity!
