I have such fond memory's of visiting my Grammy and Gramps when I was growing up.
Grammy loved to feed us! As soon as you were in the door, she was trying to serve you some food. She, herself, loved to eat and I can just hear her voice "They are really good, aren't they, Debbi?" She enjoyed everything WITH you.
One of the reason's it was so fun to be around them was because they were strong Christians and showed it through their lives. Grammy always taught children's Sunday School classes and her door was always open to all of the children in the neighborhood. They were so sweet.
You never heard my grandparents say an unkind word to each other or about each other. Never once. Their love for each other was evident and their love for God was evident in their speech and actions.
Grampa died about 22 years ago. Grammy is in her 90's and has hardly changed. Her memory is quite poor and she repeats the same questions over and over, but you still never hear her say an unkind thing about anyone.
(Grammy & Mom)
I'm not sure if I will live long enough to be a grandparent, but if I do, I want to give fond memories to my grandchildren that my grandparents did to us. I want to be Godly example to them in speech and actions.
Wow, how blessed you are to have your Grandmother still in your life. Grandparents definitely are the best!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you. I want to be an awesome Grandma too. My momma is setting a great example for me. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about Grandmas and food? ha! I definitely associate food with my Grandma too. (minced meat pies, meat and potato pie, mmmmm)
Thanks for joining us this week. I love to read about others lives...it's just more inspiration to keep making memories!
Great memories! Your Grandma is so cute!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great post! I can hardly remember my MeMe without an apron on, doing something in the kitchen! Being a Grandma has to be one of the most fun things in the world!
ReplyDeleteso sweet!! i do miss my grandparents dearly!!
ReplyDeleteGrandparents are such blessings. My grandfather just passed away suddenly two weeks ago and he is so missed. Enjoyed your post today. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the godly testimony of your grandmother. I'm sure you must have absorbed and inherited many of her good qualities.
ReplyDeleteGreetings! I loved reading about your sweet Grammy. I miss my Grandma who died almost 3 years ago now. She was very much like your's. I will be marking your blog to check in from time to time! Thanks for stopping by my place today and leaving a comment. I wish I did have a photo of me wearing my lime green jumpsuit! ;-)
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you...Laura
My grandmother lived till she was 96. It is a real blessing to have them in our lives for such a long time. And your post has made me "walk down memory lane" with my grandmother.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing
Sweet Blessings
What a great memory & sweet pic! Glad you joined in!
ReplyDeleteYour post is making me miss my grandmas even more. How blessed you are to still have her in your life! She seems like a beautiful lady, inside and out.
ReplyDeleteI agree! I want to be a grandmother that is involved in her grandchildrens lives. I want to be a student of them and encourage their dreams. Mostly I want them to clearly see Christ in me!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet! What a precious story!!! your grandmother is so cute! Hug her for me!
ReplyDeleteHi, Thanks for the comment about my post about my Granddaughters. They are fun.
ReplyDeleteI loved your post about your dear Grandma. You are so blessed to have her. I never knew my grandmas. But I did have a wonderful mother.
Your son is a blessing in your life. He sounds like a treasure.
I read more about you and found out that you loved the Fireproof movie too. Wasn't it great! I have heard that is is saving marriages, and encouraging couples to work harder on their marriages.
I love all of the movies that church has made,...especially Facing The Giants.
I see that you enjoy reading. I do also. I have read Dee Henderson too, after a friend recommended her. Isn't she a suspenseful writer? (:>)
I also liked some of the other authors that you read too.
I am sorry that you have CF. You sound like you are a trooper. And I love your verses that you have on your blog,...and as a matter of fact, I love your blog name. You are looking to Jesus and He is your strength! That's wonderful!
I am Lynnette's mom, (Weds. Walk Host) She has faced many trials in her young life and has always found God to be Faithful. She has a book called "In Faithfulness He Afflicted Me". Have you read it? They have lost two babies after birth, and their 6 year old daughter Anna,...and God has been with them through every step of their journey. She gives Him all the glory for her victories.
May God continue to bless you and take care of you through your journey. You are precious to our Lord.
In His Love,
Linda @ Truthful Tidbits
You are going to make a fabulous grams!
ReplyDeleteMy grams and gramps all have their wings but they all were SO very special!
