Ms. Elestine Lawson is a beloved granny from Westerville, Ohio, United States. The elderly woman celebrated her 107th birthday recently. On this day, Ms. Lawson was left speechless when she opened her front door and she found a special delivery from her church: she got 107 roses, one of her for each year of her life.

Ms. Lawson later learned that some members from her church decided to buy her the huge bouquet of roses at a flower shop near the city of Columbia. It was a fitting gesture for a lady who credits her faith for her longevity.
Ms. Lawson explained that her love for her neighbor and her faith in God have helped her deal with all the difficult periods of her very long life: "I spent many years in peace and was happy most of the time. I pray to the Lord every day; I thank him and I have decided to serve him as long as my heart continues to beat in my chest", said Ms. Lawson when she was asked what the secret to leading such a long life was.
And who wouldn't want to reach this venerable age and receive such a wonderful birthday gift?
