Many memories flood my heart today, Kaylee, as I look back over the years! After being blessed with two special grandsons, Grampy and I were very excited to welcome our first granddaughter, 21 years ago today!
The years have passed swiftly by, and today finds you in your 3rd year of college! Some time ago, I was asked to give a little devotional about "Heirlooms". The Dictionary defined it as "a valuable object that has belonged to a family for several generations." These heirlooms help to keep history alive. They connect us to our past. You are blessed to have some spiritual heirlooms---both of your grandfathers being holiness preachers---but you must bear responsibility, also, remembering the younger granddaughters and great granddaughters who come behind you.
You have a sweet smile, a tender and loving spirit -- always willing to let the other person "have his way", and even though you have had some "storms" to weather, I believe down deep in your heart Grammy can hear you say, "God's Way is My Way", and I pray it will always be so!
On this, your 21st birthday, Kaylee, this quote is my prayer and desire for you:
"If we believe in Jesus, it is not what we gain, but what He pours through us that really counts. God's purpose is not simply to make us beautiful, plump grapes, but to make us grapes so that He may squeeze the sweetness out of us."
On this special birthday, Kaylee, I thank the Lord for sending you to our family 21 years ago today!
Keep holding to God's hand, keep your eyes upon Jesus, and never forget that God's Way is Always the Best Way!!!
Love and Prayers, Grammy
