Others out there may think they have the best ma, grandma, mother in law, ex mother inlaw etc......but anyone who has ever met ours knows she is the best by far! Her dedication to our family has been unbelievable. No matter what wrong turns any of us has made she still has us believing we are the most cherished and loved individuals out there! I am truly blessed to have her in my life! I just hope we can all pass on a part of this to our own familys through out the years! If I could be a quarter of what this woman is I will feel like I have exceded in life! Love you grandma Mary Gertrude DeVlaeminck !!

What a whimsical story about Gramma Mary. ...Doug...<br />What a whimsical story about Gramma Mary. She sounds like such a delightful soul.<br />It reminded me of a neighbor, who lived down the street, in our former house. Her name was Granny Smith. her claim to fame was being a Lover of Jesus Christ.<br />She was blind but oh what sight she had! She spent her days listening to the Bible on tape and praying for others.<br />The first thing, when you would meet her, is that she would ask (if you were married) what your Wedding Anniversary date was. Also, your children's Birthdays.<br />On your Anniversary, you would get a card from Granny Smith.<br />On the children's Birthdays, she would call about 6 a.m. and sing Happy Birthday to them.<br />My kids were older when they first got the calls...they kind of rolled their eyes...but it wasn't long before they were saying... "Is Granny Smith going to call?"<br />One day, I was in the shower and I heard the Lord's voice. He said <br />" I want you to know that one of the reasons that you became born again was because of Granny Smith's prayers. I want you to go over to her house and thank her for praying and tell her what I told you" <br />( Now I had accepted Christ a while before I met her, officially but she prayed for the whole neighborhood and found out everyone's names when they moved in...so I was on her Prayer Radar screen)<br />So I went over her house to tell her. There is nothing as sweet, as for an intercessor to hear that their prayer was answered.<br />When I told her, she squealed and Praised the Lord and did a little dance...she was in her 90's and nothing made her day better than a reason to Praise the Lord.<br />I want to be just like a Gramma Mary and a Granny Smith "when I grow up"<br />Thanks for sharing about Gramma Mary<br />LindaLinda Maynardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3947901677057635396.post-34479197785265779292012-01-29T09:28:35.917-05:002012-01-29T09:28:35.917-05:00What a wonderful tribute!
