I feel that way about a lot of people, but this week I am especially blessed to know Randy's Grandmother. She lives up North and we don't spend as much time with her as we would like, but she is such a sweetheart. She has been writing poetry for God since she was young and never tires of telling others about Jesus' love. Over the last year Randy and I have had the privelege of compling her "book of poems". We have been typing them out and want to get her book finished for Christmas. I have been touched by God every time I sit down to work on this project. Here is one that really made me stop and think.
A Giant
By Ethel C. Kauffman
Be a giant in God's kingdom
Looking to Jesus for our freedom
Rise up in warfare for He watches nearby
Never letting Satan spit in your eye
Rebuke him in all he tries to do
Tell him that Jesus is your mighty tool
For Jesus is my armor and my shield
So leave me alone for I will not yield!
Reading these poems has made me realize what a gift God has given me in the Grandmothers I have and how I was blessed with this wonderful woman when I joined Randy's family. I need to seek the wisdom of Her and my own Grandmother before it is too late. They are a precious jewel that needs to be displayed and admired. Thier wisdom could save me a lot of trials and errors if I would stop to ask and listen. They are truely a gift from God that is often times overlooked.

Praise God for praying Grandmothers! I know that I learned a lot about Jesus for many years from my grandmother without even realizing it long before I got saved. I think back on those memories and am so blessed to have spent that time with her. I miss her a lot. I'm so glad that you are able to draw from your grandmothers. I've not met Randy's grandmother, but I know your mamaw is sure a sweetie! Love you bunches!
I have a lot of people that I am blessed to have in my life. God is truly good to me!
I had a truly great Grandmother that I know prayed me into the kingdom. She was an amazing and wonderful woman of God. She died the year after Denny and I got married and I still miss her to this day.
This is a beautiful post Tracy!
