Grandma's lesson

My Grandma has been hospitalized after several falls and other complications. I went to visit with her the other day. It was around seven at night and all the other visitors had left. I work in a critical care environment, but its totally different when it's someone you know and love. Although my Grandma was in obvious pain, all she could talk about were her blessings. She was most grateful for her testimony, and for the peace she had that everything would somehow be okay. She spoke about others she was concerned about and cared about. I think this was a true sign of her character. Even in the worst of times, she was at peace, unselfish and grateful. It helped me reevalute my situation. I am so grateful for my Grandma and the testimony she shared with me that night.
