Planting the Seeds of Love

This is my amazing Granny.

She is one of the strongest women I know.

Her
Faith
Love
Endurance
Patience
Strength
Courage
Insight
Encouragement
and
Marriage
have greatly influenced my life.

No one can know this lady without feeling loved and blessed.

Here is the farm.


She was stressed that I had taken this picture. She does not like that everything has gotten "run down" as she puts it.

But all I see are memories.
Swinging from a rope into the hay always piled up here.
Running out screaming when we thought we had seen a mouse.
Flying by on Big Red the 3 wheeler with the usual 2-8 grandkids piled on top of each other.
Holding onto the cat's tail and walking around.
Playing family softball in the field.
Riding on the tractor.
Going to get the mail.
Jumping the bumps in the pasture, praying Big Red would stop before we hit the barbed wire fence.
Fishing in the tank...mmmmmm, those catfish were to die for.
Dodging cow patties.
Tossing cow patties.
Digging in the black dirt.
Being scared to death of snakes in the bottom shed.
Feeding calves.
Trying to make the cows mad.
Shooting fireworks and stomping out the fires we made along the way.

All I smell is home.

That is why this picture is priceless to me.

Along with these.



Granny agreed to plant some seeds with my kids.


We had planned on more, but the weather was not cooperating with us.

She is 82 and can still shovel dirt better than the rest of us.



What an amazing lesson for the kids.

What an amazing woman of God.

Just planting some seeds.

These roots will go deeper than we will ever know this side of Heaven.

I love my Granny.
