My grandmother inspires me. She is an 83 year old woman who has had a relationship with Christ longer than I have been alive. I asked her how she was able to maintain her faith all these years because, quite frankly, I want someone to ask me this when I am 83 and I need to know what to say.
“Erica,
You asked me how I maintained my faith in Christ all these 83 years. Well, that is a very easy question to answer. Having been brought up by Christian parents I always knew that I loved God and he loved me. I know that when I’ve had difficult times in my life like loosing my parents my sisters and brother my faith brought me closer to Christ. I learned to trust God in everything especially since my dear husband has been ill. At times I tend to feel sorry for myself but then I turn to God and start thanking him for his many blessing. He has been so good to me through the years.
My favorite verses are:
I’st Thessalonians 5: 16,17,& 18
Rejoice in everthing
Pray constantly
Give thanks in everything for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
What an amazing woman!!
