Proverbs
31:31 says “Honor her for all that her hands have done.” There is so much that
you have done that is worthy of honor. Worthy of respect. Worthy of praise. As
far back as I can remember, coming home to Grammy’s house in Stroudsburg,
Pennsylvania has filled me with joy. One of the greatest reasons is knowing I
will walk into a home filled with peace, love, and incredible hugs! In my
almost 30 years of life, I have never met anyone with as sweet a presence…as
gentle a spirit…and as loving and compassionate a heart as you. Your kindness
warms every soul you encounter. Your sweetness is contagious and makes everyone
want to be around you. Your calm and peaceful demeanor is so overwhelming that
it can break even the strongest tension in a room. Everything about your
demeanor and character is a wonderful display of how I picture Jesus Christ was
during his ministry on earth. A loving wife, a daughter, a sister, a mother of
three children, a grandmother to six grandchildren, and a great-grandmother to
five great-grandchildren – what a legacy you have created, and your love can be
seen spread throughout all of them. On this Thanksgiving holiday, let me list
just a few things about you for which I am thankful…
Your incredible hugs
Your character
Your love and support no matter what
I do
Your quality time playing cards with
me
Your millions of delicious homemade
meals
Your sweetness
Your faith in God
Your interesting stories
Your love for cats
Your love for your family
Your positive perspective on life
Your generosity
The list could go on and on. Most of
all, I want you to know that I am incredibly grateful for you, and I thank God
for you. I love you. Your family loves you. This Thanksgiving, we honor you,
Grammy.
