Grandma Rosie's Legacy

This blog is dedicated to the honor and glory of my Lord, Jesus Christ. God used a very special lady in my and many other young mamas' lives. In a fast-paced, self-centered, me-oriented world, Grandma Rosie pointed us to Jesus and helped us all on our journey of motherhood. In a growing church of approximately 500 people, she was the only one (at any church, that I'd ever heard of) that obeyed the Titus 2 command and taught us ladies all she knew. She shared her life, weaknesses, experiences, trials and joys. She took the "everyday", "common" things and helped us make them special. She shared what worked in her home and what did not. She made us understand we weren't alone and other ladies in fact had gone through similar circumstances daily. She prayed for us and encouraged us. When she didn't have an answer she wasn't afraid to tell you. But.....she promised to pray and if the Lord showed her anything, she got right back to us. I will never forget the lessons learned.

Grandma Rosie was a very real lady. She was honest and obedient. I remember her being nervous about sharing particular subjects the Lord put on her heart, or not feeling adequate to "teach". She told us that and asked us to pray for her. This is true courage: to know what you need to do, to be terrified to do it, and do it anyway.

Grandma Rosie was an only child. She and Papa Dick had 5 children. Her life and family were her training ground, and those life experiences are what she used to teach us!!! She was my true Titus 2 woman, after God's heart, and still is busy discipling ladies today! Thank you Grandma Rosie! xoxoxo

TITUS 2:3-5

That the aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; that they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
