Matt 1:23 The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel-which means, ”God with us.” I am absolutely enthralled, with the strong women, in the ancestry of Christ. Due to the fact that they said, ”Yes.” The first book of Matthew proclaims the names of these women. Tamar, whom I believe to be a 7th great grandmother to Boaz, took a leap of faith. She was betrothed to the two sons of Judah. They would not allow her to…
SPOTLIGHT 5 LEAVE A LEGACY Granny’s Corner Psalm 145:3-6 Great is The Lord, and most worthy of praise. His greatness nobody can fathom. One generation will commend your works to another. They will tell of your mighty acts. They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty, and I will meditate on your wonderful works. They will tell of the power of your wonderful works, and I will proclaim…
My Dear Sweet Granny and Mother taught my sister and I some valuable Lessons. These are the values they lived by: Love, Live, Laugh, Learn, and Leave a Legacy. Here is the first spotlight in this series. Throughout the ages, love has been the one and only thing that humans cannot live without. Valentines Day was over the top, as usual. My man gave me a card, and we went out to lunch. However, you want to know what my favorite time…
Granny and Mom were never judgmental. Dad…somewhat, but all three of them taught me to make good choices. Growing up, I was a pretty good judge of character. I recognized very easily those with whom I didn’t wish to associate. I graduated from college in’72. It was the Hippie Era, when drugs and pot became ignited within our society. Thank God, it was never my cup of Tea. Twelve years of nuns did give me a good mindset, as far as drugs and morality were concerned. I dated a lot of zeros. I learned what I was…
This morning I was watching Rachel Ray. She was creating her favorite Sicilian Recipe that she used to make with her grandfather. She noted the fact that when she gets to heaven, it would be the first meal she would fix for him. This so touched my heart. It took my mind on a journey of dishes from my German heritage. When I get to heaven, these are the meals I want to share with my heavenly ancestors. Mom..Pork roast…sauerkraut…mashed potatoes..applesauce. Dad and Granpa O… Limburger cheese on black rye bread..onion..mustard..and an ice…
This is one of Granny’s most profound quotes. Proverbs 16:18-19 Pride goes before disaster, and a haughty spirit before a fall. It is better to be humble with the poor, than to share plunder with the proud. I heard Granny say this to us diligently. As you well know by now, it was Granny and Mom who formed my faith, spiritualism, and character. They were my role models of wisdom. All you have to do is turn on any of the award shows from Hollywood, and you’ll see what I mean. There are many who receive…
Have you ever had one of those days where you hear a statement in the morning? Then you hear the same statement from another source the same day? Yep! That’s God using your OCD to help you get it! LOL! He does this to me all the time. Yesterday morn I was at my Women’s Bible Study Group. I am not a member of this Vineyard Church. I was invited by a friend, and welcomed with open arms. I am so honored to be with such strong, Godly Women. Last year we did a Pricilla Shier Study that…
Our young ,married life on the farm was given a huge blessing. A year after Tom’s dad passed(a week after we married), my mother-in-law married her widowed, college sweetheart. Thus our lives took on a new venue. Colonel Grandpa Ashton, arrived upon the scene. He was a breath of fresh air, in the lives of a young couple under pressure. As a retired, army veteran/veterinarian ,who was raised as a dairy farmer, his wealth of knowledge and experience was a treasure. He served in WWII and the Korean War. I so wish that he was…
