Guideposts

This is a picture of my Grandma with Luke. She has been a big part of my life. I remember one time she said (and I quote), "I always thought your hair looked nice, but it's been looking kind of wild lately." Maybe it is something only a grandma could get away with, but it was these kind of gentle nudges that kept our family in line.

I've also been thinking a lot lately about how her beauty had nothing to do with fashion and little to do with clothing at all. Her life is a reminder that beauty has everything to do with the heart and the soul of a person.

I am thankful for my Grandma's life and legacy. She knew many losses in her life, but she was always willing to adapt to change with God's help. She was the best listener; and her advice will be greatly missed. I am grateful for all of the guideposts in my life.
