You draw me in to personal glimpses of your life with eloquent lines and I feel as if I am the teen returning to a grandmother's solitude. Your tribute post has blessed me today as I'm taking my own dear grandmother to the doctor this afternoon. <br /><br />You have a beautiful heritage indeed.Lorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16549959564253260558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-115654094121749505.post-28635400419539896792009-05-20T14:21:20.521-05:002009-05-20T14:21:20.521-05:00Blessed are we who can recall such wonderful women...Blessed are we who can recall such wonderful women who poured their faith and strength into our lives to be passed on from generation to generation!!

What a wonderful recollection of your grandmother and her beauty and life that will be forever embedded in your heart and mind. You are always so inspiring.

I rarely saw my mother show any tears; my instinct was to cradle her pain and carry it as my own. I just wanted to make things better for her. <br /><br />She was careful to guard her words (something I've not quite mastered in my tearful moments); somehow, I knew that this pain was a personal, deep wound that wasn't for my mind to conceive. Still and yet, I carried it. Something was different in that night ... it would remain for days. Years later I would learn about the reason behind those tears. Mother and father shared with me in a season when my ears were ready for the hearing.<br /><br />I was walking through a divorce. They shared with me about the difficult season that almost caused theirs. Thank God that they kept it from me then; thank God that they kept pressing in and pressing on to do the hard thing of repairing a marriage that was deeply broken. The world is a better place because of their pain, God's grace, and the healing between the two. <br /><br />I don't know why this post has enlivened those memories in me today, but now I'm in tears and thankful for the immeasurable grace that comes to us in the dark night of our souls and asks us to trust him for more.<br /><br />I'm trusting God today; not just for my life, but for the life of my family. I pray you know that same trust, friend. Thanks for listening.<br /><br />peace~elaineelaine @ peace for the journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675745465728814736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-115654094121749505.post-29581560715003961442009-05-19T22:00:39.920-05:002009-05-19T22:00:39.920-05:00Dearest Andrea,

Yes, hope. <br /><br />"But all who know My Name, who seek My trust, regard My will, will be kept by My grace, delivered from fear, and find My peace."<br /><br />It is only through Him that we live this life. But when we do fall into despair, into depression, into any kind of trial...it is only Him that will give us that peace that passes all understanding.<br /><br />May the Lord continue to bless you as you remember your dear grandmother. May her memories continue to draw you closer to Him. <br /><br />In His precious love dear friend,<br /><br />lady mlady mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04117566085218306953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-115654094121749505.post-14533233133987842422009-05-19T14:46:00.000-05:002009-05-19T14:46:00.000-05:00Dear Andrea,

It brings tears to my eyes because I was very, very close to my grandmother as well. You have written and expressed what is in my heart. Can you believe, my dear grandmother's birthday was also on May 20th. She went to be with the Lord August of 2007 at the young age of 78. I miss her terribly.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing.<br /><br />Blessings to you,<br />Mrs. TeapotMrs. Teapothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05657879676814934894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-115654094121749505.post-88403768593903175482009-05-19T14:24:00.000-05:002009-05-19T14:24:00.000-05:00What a beautiful post and song.
