Grandma, Granddad, We Want to Praise God

Happy Grandparents Day!

As we celebrate National Grandparents Day on Sunday, September 11, 2022, I find it all joy to focus on my grandmother who taught me as a young child to praise God. As a tall, regal, and beautiful Black women, she exemplified a quiet, yet strong and affirming voice as the matriarch of my family. In every aspect of her life, she provided guidance, wisdom, insight, and love. Of course, I must say that Grandmama’s kitchen always smelled of fresh baked, mouthwatering bread, apple cobbler, and of course the best fried chicken on this side of heaven. So, today I lift up my cherished grandmother and all grandparents around the world who exhibit God’s love and who support their grandchildren in their quest to see God, to know Him, and to praise Him.
