Amazing Grace

That song meant a lot to Grace Mae Shepard, or simply Granny to us. She was truely amazing, everything that a Grandma is supposed to be.

Granny was a simple woman who loved to talk about Jesus. She was always available, always willing to talk and share. She always had a warm smile and a kind word for you. She was always glad to have company and she would never let you leave without a great big hug and saying a word of prayer.

I remember many nights coming home from a late night gig hearing her in her room, waiting up and quietly praying for me. Wow! If not for those prayers and her persistence I may have never accepted Jesus into my life.

So today we have not only lost a loving Grandma, but we have also lost a sister in Christ. A child of God anxious to hear her name called, anxious to finally go home and be with her Jesus.

Praise God for His mercy and His amazing Grace.

We will all miss you Granny!
