Every conversation with this woman, my stand-in granny, is a definitive "yes" to the above questions. She's so alive and makes me smile whenever she's around and whenever we talk. Hours pass like seconds when we talk because she has so much to offer and is so insightful. She's about to graduate from college at the tender age of 84 next spring. She still has it in her to start a ministry for young children to teach them the things that are not as prevalent as they should be. She still drives and is very active in all those around her. She's amazing! We are all constantly reinventing ourselves to become the individuals God wants us to be, and she has been instrumental in the process.
Long story, short she's exactly the type of woman I'd like to find for myself. She's an active Christian, she places others before herself, she loves unconditionally, and she is a no nonsense type of person. She's been a true blessing to me and everyone in my family, and I can definitely see God in her eyes. She has a beautiful soul and has taught me so much.
Do you know anyone like that?
