| Look at these sweet hands! Granny left us April 13th, 2010 but her birthday was yesterday. What a blessing she was and still is to our whole family. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANNY! |
 |
| I remember last year at this time she was making Apple butter. Her kitchen smelled so good. |
 |
| I have had the hardest time trying to figure out what to put on this post to honor Granny. I miss her so much. |
 |
| Then as I was going through pictures I remembered how Granny reached the world with her quilts and her love of the Lord. |
 |
| I will never forget this day. My best friend, Vicki and I met at Granny's house to visit her. If Granny wasn't quilting, she was working a word search puzzle. When we walked in she looked like a queen sitting here. This picture still brings a smile to my face. |
 |
| The Lord and Granny's quilts along with her family were her passion. Granny lived a simple life that didn't require much. What an example for us all. |

| Remember Granny's one pin??? |

| As I was looking through the pictures to put on here, I found a picture of a framed tribute that my Aunt Joyce (Granny's daughter) wrote in honor of her. It sounds like that she wrote it for Granny's Church but I am not sure. This framed tribute is very old and was actually typed on a typewriter. I can remember this being in Granny's bedroom for many years. While you read this tribute, remember that this was written by Granny's daughter before Granny had reached the world through something she never even understood....the internet. The Lord knew long ago that Granny would touch more lives than just her circle of friends. Granny touched the world! Thank you all for blessing Granny. |
Tribute To My Granny
Written by her daughter, Joyce, in honor of her Mother
My Mother is a shining example of how to truly live. About the age of six years old I noticed something different about my Mother. We had began to go to a new church and my Mother was filled with a new joy. She told me this joy was the result of being filled with the Holy Spirit. Through the years, she has stood firm in her spiritual commitment, convictions, and beliefs in spite of the trials and upheavals that all families endure. My Mother has an ongoing, enduring love for all persons. She expresses this love in support, acceptance, prayer and forgiveness to her fellow man.
Many times in my life, I doubted her ability to endure with this Christian love, but she has not only endured but has grown every day and has touched the lives of more than she will ever know. She continues to be filled with the Holy Spirit which guides and sustains her. Because she continues to be spirit led, we, her personal family and her church family have benefited. We, her children feel like the richest family ever to be blessed with this wonderful person in our lives and we know that you do also.
Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
