Grandma’s Penny for My Thoughts

The wise words of grandmothers should be sought often.

Something I learned quickly.

I told her that I wanted God to bless the work of my hands so that I could show many people what they could not see.

His miracles

And my grandmother glanced at me observantly and inquired, “Do you know what you’re asking for?”

She called upon experience

And he sat on her left

She did the same with perspective

And she sat on her right

She called upon the Holy Spirit, which resided inside and together they began to speak.

They told stories of great persons passed and the sacrifices they made

The great prices THEY paid

For the anointing of the gift for which they asked

My grandmother said, “To ask for greatness, means to ask for much blessing and great suffering.”

Experience, perspective, and the Holy Spirit nodded in agreement.
