The most influential persons in my faith life were my “Gram” and later my other grandma. They asked the right questions and encouraged me to keep a perspective that allowed me to see God at work in my life and in the world around me. My grandma was the one who threw the party for me when I asked Jesus into my heart at the age of nine. I didn’t know— really know—it was a big deal. She made sure I knew it was something to celebrate! Here’s an idea: throw a party for your grandchildren when they make a decision for Christ or are baptized. I think more grandparents need to know what an important investment they can make in their grandchildren’s lives!

I always emphasize my grandmother’s impact on my spiritual life. My first memory of God and the Bible was when I sat with her on her porch. She told me that God had seen me in my mother’s womb. Even before I started a relationship with Jesus, that thought became a foundational part of my life. When I learned that my mom and dad had me young, that people suggested she abort me, I did not doubt that even though I wasn’t part of my parents’ plan, I was part of God’s plan. My grandmother is so special to me. To this day I go to her when I need wisdom, encouragement, and a good spiritual talk.
