Happy 91st Birthday and 1st Birthday in
Heaven Grandmother! It isn’t the same
without you here and I can’t imagine the joy that this birthday brings as you
are celebrating with Jesus.
For all those who knew my Grandmother, they know that she
did everything with purpose and with extravagance. Looking at her you wouldn’t
know this from a glance. She didn’t have
an extravagant house, car, or clothes. She didn’t eat extravagant food or go to
extravagant places. Her extravagance
came into play when it made a difference in people’s lives. She didn’t have a lot of money but what she
did have she used beautifully and with much purpose. She gave extravagantly to those in need and
to further the kingdom. She gave to
people she never met, people that lived locally and to people in other
countries around the world. My
grandmother loved deeply and poured her time and energy into friends and
family. She would give the shirt off of
her back to anyone who needed it. My
grandmother also served extravagantly at church, as a nurse, and in any other
capacity that she felt like she could make a difference.

To celebrate my grandmother and honor her memory, I have
been trying to think of ways that I can carry on her legacy of serving, loving,
and giving in extravagant ways. I would
love for you to join me in this over the next couple of weeks. Make a difference in someone’s life because
you loved, gave, or served extravagantly.
Happy Birthday Grandmother!!
Thank you for loving me extravagantly and I cannot wait till the day
that we are reunited again in heaven.
As my grandmother always said, "Do good and share what you have!"
