Day 9. 10 people who influenced your life & why
This could be hard but let’s make KISS!
I should start with God the Father, Jesus the Son and The Holy Spirit the Third person in the Trinity. That would most definitely be a lie.
First, I would say my Grandmother on my Mother’s side. A very devout believer and lived the life she believed in. Respect! There was nothing but respect for Granny. Everything was homemade. Biscuits, rolls, jelly and fresh vegetables. We had 2 cherry trees, 2 pear trees, peach tree, apple tree and so many grape vines. We also had a lot of bushes in the front yard. Granny did not play. She would say go get a switch. We would go get a little one. She would get up and get the size she wanted. We pledged Granny don’t skin it. It fell on death ears. Oh we knew better then to RUN! Oh yes, it was pain like you have never felt before. Like I said, RESPECT! Aretha has nothing on that word. Grandpa was different, he made the wine and tried to whip. It was so good when he could sneak and get some. I miss those days. Grandpa would chase us through the house to whip us. He would say, “Stop that stumping upstairs.” He would come and we would jump on the roof and then to the garden. So much fun.
Then my Mom! A chip from the good stock only she could not whip. We would scream and holler and jump around. She would get tired and stop. Did I say, “Granny did not play that!” Mom was a great cook and full of hospitality. She loved to cook and feed everyone. She was my Queen! I loved to be close to Mom. She was a gentle lamb. She would not hurt a soul. She never met a stranger. It’s a shame my Father was so abusive. She took it because she loved him and wanted his children to have their father. Needless to say, this scared my brother and myself. My sister was different. She set up under Granny and read, read and read. She is still the same today.
My Sister has become a role model for my brother and myself. She developed a prayer life from her youth. She is a praying woman. God blessed her with a praying husband. They work side by side in the Kingdom Building. I can always go to for advice and sound doctrine. Free of self opinions and only receive what The Word says!
My Spiritual Father, Bishop William Nelson Godrey. He took a wretch like me and revived me with The Word of God. He put in relationship with the FATHER! Thank you Jesus for placing in my life. Not only was he my Spiritual Father but he was more like the biological father I never had. He will always be special in my heart.
Now my Heavenly Father, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and co-equal, The Holy Spirit. Wow! What can I say? To finally have the right relationship. I searched most of my looking for love. Oh but when I came to the knowledge that the love was there all the time! I love you Lord! You do rule over my life. I will never settle for less. And when it is time for a natural relationship, I have no doubt You will supply. Never less anymore on the BEST!
