I'd like to dedicate this thread to wonderful women. Is there a lady in your life that you feel like had an impact on you? Maybe it was your mother or grandmother, maybe it was a Sunday school teacher.... or just a dear old friend.
In my life it was an older lady my mother and I cleaned house for named Mrs. Betty. She was the happiest, most loving and giving old lady I've ever met. She had the love of Jesus dripping off of her . She always encouraged me to love the Lord first and then to just love life and enjoy it .
She challenged me to make old fashioned cakes I'd never tried before.... she took me to go visit the sick and shut in. We delivered groceries to people who couldn't go get them for themselves until she herself could no longer go get them for herself... she showed me what I wanted my older years in life to be like, who I want to be. I miss her so much, she's at home with Jesus now.
My wonderful Mama also makes the list. She's the most hard working woman I know also the most determined. If she sets her mind to something, she will accomplish it, Mama doesn't give up. She can nurture any plant to life no matter how bad off it looked. She loves to go hunt frogs with the grandbabies and go to yard sales with the older ones...or anything else they're interested in...She's also interested in.
She cares for people. She has been with a handful of people , holding their hand as they cross from this world into Glory, not cause she's a professional caregiver , but because she's been with these people taking them to doctors appointments, picking up their groceries, cleaning their homes, making sure their bills got paid all because she loves them. I want to be more like her.
My Nanny. ( just to be clear, my Grandmother) who is fighting stage 4 lung cancer like a champ. From the day she found out she had cancer she said "I fully trust God, no matter what happens to me. " And she's proven that every day since then. Her faith has been unshakable thus far. She tries to use it to talk to others about the Lord and how good He is to her . I love her little old self.
Last of all for now, my sister in law Sarah, who me a teenager and her in her early 20's taught me a lesson I've never forgotten.... "Learn to choose your battles" everything in life isn't worth fighting for/about. I feel like this helped me so much in life as a young lady growing up. It helped me keep drama out of my life . Sadly I've had to watch her put those words into practice many, many times and I've watched her hold true to them. She's been through alot and has come through it all with a wonderful attitude . I'm so glad God let us cross paths in those crucial years of my life and that she became part of my family. I've continued to learn things from her over the years and hope to for many more years to come.
How about you? Do you have any special ladies , or even gentlemen you'd like to tell about ? I'd love to hear it.
