I arrived here in Shelbyville, Illnois on a Thursday early afternoon to have a week long visit with my grandmother. It is now Wednesday the following week and this visit has gone much too fast. I am enjoying every minute I have with her and hate to see it end. We've enjoyed movies and going out to lunch together. A couple of times we've gotten quite goofy. I will keep those moments between Granma and I. Moments to look back on when we need a good laugh. I will say that I know a granma Garard that is different than what others might know her as. She is quite the character. What did you expect? I got my personality from someone in the family. I have to say after weeks of schooling this summer its nice to have a break. What could possibly be better than spending it with my favorite person?
Every morning we wake up with devotions. We've been reading out of Philippians. After Pastor Bob read the whole book to us on a Wednesday night service at church I was quite convicted. So I wanted to share my conviction with Granma. We are learning a lot together as we read through it. We also have daily readings that we go through. So we each take turns reading our "lessons" for the day. I have to say that its so enjoyable to have this time with her. I just love the fact that I have grandmother who is a Christian and has a passion for Christ. Its so nice and is a blessing that God placed her in my life.
As Wednesday ends I am reminded that there are still four days left of my vacation. Which means four days of silly nights with my Grandmother.

It's awesome to have a godly example to follow and a blessing to have family members who want to serve the Lord. It strengthens and encourages one to know they are not alone.
Your grandma sounds really cool. I'm glad you're having fun and enyoing your summer break.
