HER STREAM

Somewhere in the margin of my Grandmother Bouterse's "Streams In The Desert",is the word"Dad", surrounded by a circle, with an X over the word.
After inquiring why this was there,I was told, that my grandfather had left my grandmother, for about seven years, for another woman, way back when.......
They were both long gone, when I found this out, but it still nearly broke my heart, because you know how very much I loved this grandmother.
The thing that I learned from this whole episode, though, from reading my Streams,was that my Lord held her up during this whole time!
She had lines underlined, and little notes written, that meant so much to her then...... and to me now. The most significant thing, was, when Grandaddy came back home, she took him back, and forgave him....after 7 years!
What grace.... The margins would say:
"I'm all alone in the trailer" , and then an arrow would point to the margin, where she would have written:"Stay with me Lord." My,my,my, does it still touch this 'ole girl's heart!
She not only taught me about the Bible, but she lived it to the fullest!
What a testimony to stay true to your vows like that!
She's one lady I will be glad to see again.
She found her stream in the desert.
It was God's Living Water.....
