Yesterday morning in my conversation group at church, a 90 year old woman from the country of Georgia came. I knew she played and taught piano. Her 60 year old son brought her. She wants to improve her English. It impressed me that at the age of 90 she wants to keep learning.

After the conversation group, I asked her and her son to follow me. We went to the worship center for my church, where I showed her the grand piano and asked her to play a song. She sat down at the piano and played beautifully. After she played, she used her translator app to tell me, “it needs tuning.” That gave me a laugh.
In the evening, I went to my friend Alekseyi’s home for dinner. During the dinner, I shared this story. Then Alekseyi told me, “she is a big star.” So evidently my 90 year old student not only played and taught piano in Georgia, she was a star concert pianist.
From interacting with her, there were some lessons for life. We are never too old to learn, a reminder to not judge a book by its cover, and an expert will notice things others don’t.
I also thought about how God cares about us so much that he helps us to see things in our lives that need tuning.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
