For Grandma


Dear Grandma


I have been so blessed by your prayers throughout my life. Prayers for my safety, my health, and my relationship with Jesus. Now you pray for my children, and they are a testament to your faithfulness. They love you: your big hugs, your gingersnap cookies, your raspberry patch.


I love our chats. You tell me about your past. Your hardships and the joys of a simple, hardworking life. I love hearing how you took care of your babies. How you loved them as I love mine. You tell me about my childhood and I remember growing up just down the road from you and grandpa.


Thank you Grandma for your love and prayers. They have sustained your family through good times and hard times. They are a demonstration of God's faithfulness. Because of your prayers I will join you in Heaven some day and sing praises to Jesus by your side.


Love you


Leah
