A Legacy to Remember

On October 30th Joseph's great grandmother passed away. She was 93 years old and had 8 children. Most people today would assume no birth control was used but I believe she trusted God and believed Psalm 127:3,5 that children are a heritage from the Lord; blessed is the man whose quiver is full. She was a PRAYER WARRIOR to the utmost. She believed 1 Thess. 5:17-pray without ceasing. I was only around her a few times but in her presence I heard the Lord's voice through her and knew she knew Jesus personally. She was definitely filled with the Holy Spirit so being around her was exciting!! At her funeral yesterday I realized that a poor woman from Missouri was one of the richest women I've ever met. She loved the Lord with all her heart, soul, mind and strength until her last day on earth. I am a little jealous that she's in Heaven dancing with Jesus and getting to hear Him say, "Well done good and faithful servant." I strive to be that prayer warrior and that great woman of faith too for my family and those around me until my race is complete. I pray that I too can pass on that legacy to my children and my grandchildren. I hope that my children have an inheritance, not of earthly wealth but of eternal value. And continue praying a very POWERFUL prayer she always prayed" Lord, don't let one drop of my blood enter hell." A prayer of salvation for all the family. Amazing. What a gift she had given to so many. Being Jesus in darkness and a hope to all around her. Her legacy will live on in the lives of her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and even now, her great-great grandchildren. Oh how I long to be with my Saviour but until then I will strive to be like Katie Mae Carnell who loved the Lord with great passion and had a love affair with God's Word, as someone stated yesterday. Jesus is the way, the Truth and the Life.
