Old home place

Last week I had the disappointment of seeing my grandparents home being bulldozed down, the home was built in the early 1900′s and it was a large house or it always seemed that way. But when it was gone it looked like a small piece of land where the old house sat. Although it was a big house they had 3 acres of land and I guess that was my conception of the place as a whole. I grew up in that house and had a lot pleasurable times there as well as some times I wish not to remember. I have made picture of the old place and will have my mom to paint me a still of the place to keep me humble.

My Grandmother was a devoted Christian lady that love Jesus very much to the core, I can remember times when our preacher would come to her home and ask my Grandmother about scriptures in the bible and her interpretation of them, she knew that bible from front to end. Preachers from other churches would come and discuss the bible with her as well. She raised a large family of 7 kids, and she taught them the way of God.

There was nothing more pleasing to her than to see one of her grandchildren find the lord and to live by the bible. She got to see all the grand children get saved and baptized and a lot of the great grandchildren. When she took her last breath she was still a devoted Christian and knew that God had a place for her in heaven. I am sure that she is looking down on me as I post this and smiling, because she knew that I loved her very much as did all her family. Thank you Grandmother for all that you taught me and all the stupid things that I did in my life, you did not judge.
