Thankfulness: Day 19

Today I am thankful for my Grandma Lu.  I feel SO blessed to be able to pick up the phone and call her, to be able to write to her, to learn from her wisdom.  She is SO wise, and so calm, and so centered on what REALLY matters in life.  She is a beautiful person.

I called her this morning, for no reason, just to hear her voice and hung up in tears.  How did I get so blessed?  She told me she has prayer group today at 11:00 and she may put my phone call up on the "JOY" list there.  It made her morning, little does she know it made my day.  She always has stuff on her calendar, never seems to stop.

When we were little and growing up she lived on a farm.  It was BY FAR our favorite place to visit.  She had kittens everywhere, tractors, hay rides, horses…it was just a wonder to go there and explore.  She had a BIG drawer in her bathroom by the tub that was FILLED with toys.  It was always SO much fun to see what was in the drawer.

She would come to visit us with her craft bag, that was blue tapestry I believe and in it…always were bags of M & M's for each one of us.  Such a highlight as a kid.

So blessed.  I am so proud she is my Grandma, she loves our family so well and pays attention to the details of each and every one of our boys.  She knows their loves, she knows their activities…amazing. I love that she cares so much.  I am blessed by the legacy of faith that she has given to our family.  No greater gift than that.

Love you Grandma!
