She put her Lord first . . .

This morning I had the priviledge of attending the homegoing service of the grandmother of one of our young women on the Women's Leadership Team.  During the visitation last night, we listened to stories of the family and how they had always lived together, spent meals together . . . grandchildren having the honor of having their great grandmother and grandmother reside in their home.  What a priviledge!  What a legacy, not many of us can claim that legacy.  A family that cared for each other!  PRAISE GOD!  But even better today was to hear a gentleman who was once her deacon, then her associate pastor and today her friend describe a woman who loved others, put them ahead of herself, but most importantly, put God first!  I never knew Mrs. Mable Watson, but Andrew and Megan - you have a phenomenal legacy.  To hear of a great grandmother who loved her Lord and lived it through loving people, I knew in my heart she was an incredible lady.  Praise God for women who choose Him first, praise God for the legacy He has created through this family.  Our prayers are with you, Cheryl.
