At first I had the text to Proverbs 31 here, but just suffice it to say that MY GRANDMOTHER is a
Proverbs 31 woman!!! This page is a tribute to the woman who has so dramatically impacted my life!!!
My very view of God has been influenced by my grandmother. I just realized this this very year as I
began thinking of a life without her. She has been a constant source of unconditional love for me in a
chaotic life. No matter how often I have failed, or screwed up, or fallen down, she has been there
for me. To encourage me and love me and to pick me up and dust me off. I see, now, that that is
how God loves His children. We live in fear of angering this being, when in reality He loves us like my
grandmother, and wants to pick us up and dust us off and set our lives straight. Funny how that link
came to be in my head just recently.
