My Grandparents, Kime I. and Gertrude E. Smith (1960's)
The author of this weblog is Gertrude Estelle Seamans
Smith, my paternal grandmother, who went to heaven on March 16, 1986
when she was 88 years old. Gram, as I called her, has been a strong
roll model in my life. She was at church every Sunday and wrote "My Companion " in the mornings during the week when all was quiet. She read and loved "The Upper Room" and
the Bible for her daily worship. I'm sure you can tell by her writings
that she was a true Christian, and a true disciple of Jesus. One of her favorite images was the "Praying Hands" that appears on this banner.
Gram never went on the "band wagon" for her faith, she just had a
superb relationship with God and served Him well in her calling.
I came across her notebooks that were chock full of Godliness. I am desperately trying not to edit her writing. I
honestly believe that the Lord wants me to publish her works, and by
doing so, I can share a bit of "her" and His word with others.

This is an interesting project. I am working on a writing project with my Grandfather, who is fortunately still with me. It is a wonderful way to forge a connection with someone.
Peace,
