For Grandmother

"Unless your heart, your soul, and your whole being are behind every decision you make, the words from your mouth will be empty, and each action will be meaningless. Truth and confidence are the roots of happiness."



Tough day for me. My grandmother is hurting right now and its hurting me. Cancer has somehow found its way back into her body and into her lungs. I have never really had a sincere dislike for anything, except this thing called cancer. It just slowly but surely rips the life out of you and there isn't much you can do about it. You get rid of it one way and it comes back in another place stronger.

My grandmother has been very instrumental in my life. The love I have seen in here is 2nd to none. Whenever I am around here, all I sense is love and compassion. I know she wouldn't want me to cry or stop living my life, but this mess hurts my soul.

I remember the story she always tells me about her first interactions in church. She was doing some lawn work when the mailman came. She asked him did he know of a place where she could go and learn the Word. The mailman responded, "I know the perfect place!"

She ended up in the basement of a man's house where he had about 10 other people, and they studied the bible; became students of the Word and loved God. They put together these various bible scriptures and called it "The Preview". Everyone there memorized all of those scriptures. Its about 8 pages worth of scriptures. They all became very aware and was/is in tune with the Holy Spirit inside of them, and they passed that knowledge on to their kids (my mom and uncle). Then in turn my mom passed on that knowledge to me.

I will do my best to live the way my grandmother wants me to.

LOVE YOU GRANDMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
