grandma agnew

tom's grandmother, geneva agnew, passed away this past sunday. she was 91 years old. while i had only met mrs. agnew once about a year and a half ago, numerous people testified to her godly, quiet character; a virtue that is sadly missing in my life most days. it was wonderful to hear how the marker of her life was her character and not her cooking, or physical beauty, or for heaven's sake, her bank account. while most days i stress over getting to the grocery store or keeping up with the laundry, i have to confess, i don't stress over making God's Word a priority. in fact, i've been known to congratulate myself when i carve out a few minutes during caleb's naptime, a.k.a. "my" time, for reading and prayer. pretty bold to tell God to stay out of "my" time, huh??? while i had very little opportunity to have a personal relationship with mrs. agnew, her lasting character quitely encouraged me today to serve the God she served with the same faithfulness.
