Grandma Lois's Notebook

This morning I leafed through the entire notebook. With a lump in my throat through much of my reading and perusing, I discovered that the poems and writings followed a pattern of sorts. At the beginning were many things pertaining to children. (Her children, my Mom and Uncle, were very young at that time.) As time progressed there were writings of romance, then death, then loving others. At one point there were writings pertaining to loving and caring for others regardless of skin color and status. Many of the writings pertained to being a good example and meeting the needs of those around you. One could almost imagine what was going on in her life at the time. Liberally sprinkled throughout were writings of faith in God and trust in His care for all of life's needs. The one I share with you today is written by her mother, copied by my Grandma' beautiful penmanship, sometime during the year before she passed away.
