Like people will say, old age is a blessing. If you have an elderly one around you that is as old as eighty years, you don’t know what God has blessed you with. It’s one of the greatest blessings to live long. Making the birthday of this person a memorable one is equally important.
Old people don’t have to be left alone on their birthdays. In fact, throw a party, if possible. This makes them feel happier and stronger. Just in case you’re called upon at the event, to open the party with prayers, don’t worry at all, because I got you covered.
Whatever category this elderly person falls into, either it’s a mother or father, sister or brother, grandmother or grandfather, the prayers below are perfect for their birthday party.
Just read through and make your selections. Happy reading.
