From a very young girl my Grand Mother relentlessly shared the word of God with my 5 siblings, and myself. First from recordings of powerful children's bible stories about Samson, and David the shepherd boy, then King. Stories of the wises, and riches King Solomon. The Great women of the bible includIng, Esther, Ruth, Mary, and soo many others.
As we grew older my grand mother shared the bible and her deep love for all of God's word with us. As she later became a Pastors wife when my grandfather became a pastor we observed her true dedication while watching them study late into the night; there were times she fell asleep face down in the Bible or Sunday School book. We kids thought that was so funny.
As we grew older we began to be with our grand parents less, and less. However we remembered the stories we'd heard, as well as the word of God we'd heard so often. When hard situations came in our lives we would remember the strength God gave Samson, and the great loving relationship between God, and David.
I personally would remember David's words of encouragement when faced with troubles small or great.
And though there was a time that I fell away from the ways of God. Those stories, and teachings followed me. I was what my Grand mother would call, " Ruined for the world." I quickly turned back to the love God was extending to me.
The love of God my grand parents shared with us kids had such a powerful affect on me which has stayed and grown with me all of my life to this day. Though my grand parents have been gone for many years; I am forever grateful for the valuable hours they dedicated to their grand children, and to the Lord.
