About This Quote
My grandma Ruthie, Jettie's sister, had been married four times, so many times I started calling every old man I saw at the grocery store Grandpa. As an only child, I was fortunate enough to live for a very long time with my grandparents and great-grandparents. I lived in their shadow for most of my life and they shaped who I am as a person. As a young child, I wanted nothing more than to be like them: their strength, their wisdom and their courage.
As the years passed and the rest of the world caught up with me, it became clear that my grandparents lived in a different era. They went to church every Sunday and said grace before meals. They read the Bible every night before bedtime and prayed for us as we slept.
They believed in God so much that they called themselves “born again” Christians. For them “the Lord” was not just a word or a concept – for them Jesus was real and He loved them. My grandmother read her Bible all day long and prayed every night.
When I was younger, she would tell me about her time in heaven with Jesus and how she had seen heaven from earth on more than one occasion. She also told me about “the angels” who had been sent from heaven to watch over her as she slept at night. In my opinion, Heaven must have been a very boring place if it wasn’t fun enough to make up stories about!
