I want to live a life like that

What do you think about when you hear the word Grace?

Grace is a word that is used several times in the Bible. Grace is something that is God-given. It is a gift given to sinners for their salvation.

Another thing I think about when I hear the word Grace is my Great Grandmother, Grace Enzor.

When you hear people speak about Grace Enzor, you’re going to hear about Jesus. When her name comes up in conversation, somewhere in the discussion someone will talk about how much that woman loves God and how she will always leave you with a prayer. Her whole life was focused on her desire to serve God and spreading the Gospel to anyone she encountered.

 

On March 13, my Grandma Grace went home to be with the Lord. Some may say we should mourn for her…but why mourn for her? She is the one in the presence of the Lord! I can only imagine her face right now seeing such a glorious Kingdom! I know she took the Lords hand as she crossed that bridge into those pearly gates of Heaven, just as she would always grab your hand if you were sitting near her.

She was also a family woman. She never wanted to go very far from home. She told my sister that people were crazy if they ever left home in anything other than an ambulance or a hearse. At her service they spoke of how she loved everyone, but she gave extra love to those who needed it. She was tender and kind to the ones who were sick and desperate for love. She gave them love but she gave them the gospel while she was at it.

 

I am so thankful to have been able to spend 22 years of my life with my Great Grandmother. She taught me that nothing in life is more important than serving God and loving the life we are given. In her service, they read out of the book of Psalms multiple times because this is the book she had obviously studied because there were notes scribbled in on the sides of the pages. The book of Psalm to me is a place to go when you’re hurting, when you are rejoicing, or when you are praising!

What do you want to be remembered by? How you look, the things you do on the weekend, who you hang out with, how smart you are, etc.? I want to be remembered for my love for Jesus and my desire to serve him with my life. My Grandmother was a great role model for this. I was so blessed to have gotten the chance to learn from her. I want to live a life like my Grandma Grace.

October 4^th is my Grandma Grace’s birthday. This is also the day that I will marry Devin Blake Sellers. The last time I saw my Grandma she talked about how nice of a fellow Devin was and that she knew that he loved Jesus. I showed her a picture of my wedding dress and her eyes lit up. She told me it was so pretty. She was a woman that was always dressed to impress so if she approved, I hope Devin will too! I know that she will be smiling down on us on that special day.
