What I Saw In My Grandmother
My grandmother had seen and witnessed much and she had experienced a lot of change. I knew this woman well and I realize that she was a gift to me and those who knew her. As I looked at her face one last time all I could do was say to my Lord, “Thank you for the life of my grandmother.”
I have several fond memories of my time with her but several things stood out to me about her life.
1. She was a tough Woman. This is evident by the long life she lived. For the last several years it seemed as though there were several times she would die, but she just kept on living on her own terms. She was probably resilient because she was born in tough times like the Great Depression. I, as do many others, whine about how hard it is now, but most of us know nothing of hardship compared to what she lived through.
2. She was a caring and sensitive Woman. She loved her children and grandchildren and spoke of them affectionately. She always wanted to be fair and swore me to secrecy if she gave me something she didn’t give everyone else. She retired as a nurse, caregiver to many over her years of service.
3. She was a loyal Woman. When I was very young, I would spend the night with her and she would tell me stories of the past and our family. These are nuggets I will treasure forever.
4. She was a humble woman who was committed to Jesus Christ. She was a faithful member of the Methodist Church. She talked about faith and hope in the Bible. My Granny trusted and lived for her Lord as best as she knew how.
I’m not saying she was perfect. I do recall her spanking me a time or two so that settles that. She knew she needed a righteousness that she could not attain on her own accord. She knew she was not perfect but she knew the one who was and she trusted Him as her Lord and Savior. This was her ultimate hope in a world that she saw so much change. This is the bedrock of what made her the woman I saw and loved.
