FAITHFULNESS

I'm not sure how long Grandmother had been married,but at one point in their marriage,Grandaddy left Grandmama for a period of eight years,for another woman!
He went out west somewhere,during the time he had been preaching.That's all I know.
I have her "Streams In The Desert", where she wrote his name and placed a circle around it and then marked a big X over his name.I think that is about as mad as she could get!There are numerous scripture referances that she went to, for strength during this time, which is such an encouragement to me.
After eight years,my Grandaddy came back,and ask her forgiveness.Grandmama took him back and folks, that spoke volumes to me......Even after eight years! It reminded me of how long we are in the wilderness ourselves, and yet God always forgives us and takes us back.........My!My!
I figured if God could do something like this....especially for this sweet lady that I loved so much,He was deserving of total obedience.He's deserving of obedience,anyway, because He's God, but to think He gave her the heart to forgive and take him back too!That just blows my mind!
As you can guess by now,my Grandmother Bouterse is very special to me, and I think there will be a number of my friends waiting to meet her in Heaven!(Get in line behind me, when we get to Heaven!)
