Grandma’s Prayers
My heart breaks every single time the days March 28th & August 20th roll around. It is a reminder that I am living this life without their presence. My life has changed drastically since the passing of my grandmothers. Over 30 years these women being in my life, raising me, praying for me, laughing with me, teaching me rich lessons, being just a safe and warm place for me. Living in this life without their presence is more than a notion.
Honestly my grandmas were my very best friends. I loved hearing their personal journey of living through tough moments, overcoming hardships and coming out stronger on the other side. Through it all it was their unwavering faith they had in God. They truly had a direct line to God through prayer. Not only did I see those prayers come to past for them they were praying for me all of my life. The prayers of my grandmothers fed my soul bringing so much peace to my heart and mind. I believe grandmother’s prayers are a direct link from their mouth to God’s heart. Grandma’s prayers can’t be overstated. Their prayers are the reminder of the connection to God.
As I think about my grandmother’s prayers it made me reflect on the comfort and support they provide during difficult times. The wisdom, peace and direction grandmas prayers provide calmness. Our worlds can be so chaotic and overwhelming but the prayers of grandmothers are the very thing that becomes our center in those moments. Grandma’s prayers are so powerful they come from a place of love. A pure selfless act of love that has touches the lives long beyond their presence here on earth.
Although my best grandma girls are no longer here they left me with so much. So much strength, so much love to give, so much resilience to keep living with love and wisdom. What is most important is the lives proved the power of prayer. They left me with the rich gift of connecting to God. Living without my grandmas is truly thee is the heaviest burden, not easy, yet I am able to move through it by praying the way my grandma girls taught me.
If your grandma is still here with you treasure her, love her and create continued memories with her. If you are like me living without your grandmother I understand the heartbreak. Each day will bring about grief in a different way. Remember their lives, what they left here for you to hold on to. Their prayers have and will continue to carry you through your life.
