Grandma's Example ~*Marge Tindal*~  I remember precious evenings kneeling by side of bed Grandma clasping hands and bowing her sweet head The simple prayers she taught me have stayed with me all my years Led by her example shared sometimes through her tears Blessings from the prayer time spent at Grandma's place Thanking her for the lessons shared with me in grace To end each day with moments shared with my Lord above brings to me soft memories of Grandma's example of love She said I would rememember and she expected me to teach others who would come into the circle of my reach So it is with a gladdened heart I share with friends that I've made here Grandma's example of thanking Him for everything that we hold dear ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Shema yisra'el, adonay eloheynu, adonay ehad. Baruch shem kavod mal'chuto, l'olam va'ed. Hear O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord alone. We bless God's name with honor and majesty for all time. "I am not now that which I have been." |

SweetSoaringEagle~ I remember with you. Thank you for the inspiration. I love you, my friend.  SongBird~ She held my heart in her prayers and taught me that the world always looked better spent in time on my knees sharing with God. Joyce~ Thank you. She was a sterling example. LoneWolf~ Thanks so much. I feel very fortunate that my Grandma Wainwright shared her prayers with me and with God. Ellie~ I am pleased to have reminded you of a loved one. Thank you for letting me know. Bonnie~ Thank you so much. I have a black and white photo of my Grandmother and I in a moment of prayer. Her hair was of angelic white. It is a cherished memento. Julian~ Yes ... and I thank you for such a meaningful reply. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Marge...my sweet friend.. this is so beautiful and full of love for your grandma and for our Father above... you've done them both proud, not only with your wonderful poetry, but with your beautiful and loving heart as well, and the way you share it so unselfishly with others... love and hugs, ~vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet." -vlraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (edited 06-21-2001).] |

Vicky~ Your reply is warming to this heart. I have many sweet, wonderful memories of my Grandmother ... In my life, I've never found even one thing she taught me that hasn't been just the right thing to do or say. God has been so good to me - see, He sent you to be a friend~  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

In sharing prayer, your grandmother gave you so much more than her time and good memories. If only all children had someone to teach them how to pray. This is beautiful! |

This is a testimony of one generation passing on something of great worth to another... the fear and reverence of the Lord our God. Thanks for sharing this. Stephen. |

Illusion~ Yes, she gave me the gift of the doorway to eternity ... Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Stephanos~ She did teach me reverance for my Maker... but never 'fear'. For in His keep ... I am unafraid. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
