A very old lady in our Church passed away last night and I am wondering if we could keep her family in your prayers at this time.
She was not our Grandma but being 91 years of age now we all called her Grandma.
She was a Christian seventh-day Adventist right to the end and loved her Lord now as much if not more than all the 60 plus years of being a Sabbath keeper.
Her story of how she found the Lord is just fantastic.
Being a farmer's wife and a farmer herself, she learnt to live with many heartaches.
When we first met her about 15 years ago she had just stopped driving her tractor and that was because she had just had a new hip put in and the Dr's did not want her to use her leg to engage the clutch.
Even then she was still milking 6 or 7 cows every night and morning and selling the excess milk after she fed calves to raise up and sell at the cattle markets.
The first time we ever met her she asked us to come to her house for lunch after Church. The only food on her table that was bought was some "Nutmeat" and the bread. Everything else was from her farm. The eggs, tomatoes, greens, butter, desert, water, and other vegeis that I forget now.
The enxt moment in time that Grandma Dethick will know is when she is raised at the Resurrection. She will come up with a new body, it was racked with pain and disease, crippled and could barely walk in the end.
I seen her last Sabbath and even then she Knew me and was able to squeeze my hand.
Am so sorry to see her pass away but pleased she is at rest in the Lord.
In your own private prayers if you could pray for her daughters. In many ways they are like their mum and have been a real blessing to everyone.
