These two lovely people are my husband’s grandparents.
Both of whom have left a legacy to those privileged enough to know them.
Their characters are still spoken of with warm regard.
Although, I only met her twice, Grandma was everything I’d been told.
Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands, I Peter 3:3-5 NKJV
She definitely applied these verses to her life.
Not only did they raise ten children, she cared for Grandpa when he developed ALS.
His development of the disease was slower than the average and she cared for him for many years.
After his passing she continued to be involved in her children and grandchildren’s lives.
It’s an example I want to follow, an inheritance I want to honor, a legacy I want to continue.
Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank You for Your Word. Thank You for these dear people who are my husband’s grandparents. Lord, please help me to adorn myself with trust in You, submission to You, Your Word, and my husband. Lord teach me how to wear love, bringing honor to my husband and children. Please show me how to put on a gentle and quiet manner; how to be hospitable, generous, prayerful, and applying Your Word to my soul. Lord, please help me to follow in the footsteps of other godly woman who have left a legacy of glorifying God to their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Thank You, Lord Jesus. Amen.
