Enjoying Everyday Life

Testimony  .  . . Is what makes a good speech.

To have Wisdom you need two things

*Knowledge and Experience*

My grandmother is the wisest woman I know. To give you background. She was teased in middle school. Popular in high school. Married at 18 and Pregnant by her 19 birthday. Widowed by 25 and alone the rest of her life. Sounds sad? I thought it was too. My grandad was shot by the husband of the women he cheated on my grandmother with. My grandmother has been through more than I can imagine within her first thirty years of life. I feel as if she died along with her husband.

I ask her why didn't she ever love again?

She told me that she was simply still in love.

At this point my mind was twisted up. I thought to myself, "Why would you love the person who left you and your family to be with another woman?" I did not understand.

"The man never stopped loving me." she said passionately.

My heart would have been in a dark place. I would have never trusted man again. People do not realize that the little bad things you do can have the worst consequences. Was that woman worth dying for Grandpa? Why didn't you be faithful to my grandmother? She is a good woman. I told my grandmother she was silly for still loving him.

she stared at me in disbelief and whispered "He watches over us from above. HE is our Angel."

"Ok grandma, if you think that cheating man went to heaven you are crazy." I said shaking my head. She chuckled to me. She told me I was delirious. "Whatever Grandma." I thought she was so crazy after that day. I did not understand at all. It wasn't until a couple days later when I was sleep on the couch that I realized something. Looking at her read her Joyce Meyers inspiration books, and looking at television following Joyce Myer words, I felt dumb. I said . .

"Grandma you wasn't talking about Granpa the other day was you?"

She replied "NO. I forgave your grandfather a long time ago, but soon after I gave myself to CHRIST! I found love in him, I found love within myself."
