My parents and grandparents were the biggest influencers of my faith. I learned compassion from watching them. When I speak to older adult groups about aging and faith, I always remind them that they are still impacting others… even when they don’t know it. Someone is watching and learning.

And parent’s, too. Sometimes I worry about what my kids might be picking up from me that I’d rather they didn’t.
Mom told me she recently bought Living with Purpose in a Worn-Out Body
Thanks for watching, Missy!

Why is your video so dark? Oh wait, is it really that dark when you leave for work? Ugh.
I give thanks for my grandmother Ethel and great-grandmother Mama Georgie. They had the biggest influence on my faith, besides my parents. Both women were amazing, strong, beautiful women of faith. Grandma lived beside me, so I spent a lot of my time with her. Mama Georgie didn’t live that far away, so I was able to spend quite a bit of time with her too, especially when I became old enough to drive. I think of them a lot, and I still miss them. I’m so grateful for their life of faith that they modeled for me.

I’m remembering Lois Benton who was a family and church friend throughout my growing-up years. (interesting note: her husband was dean of Vanderbilt Div School—”Benton Chapel” named for him) Lois worked for the Board of Higher Education. I always sensed her very grounded faith, and what made that extra special to me was that along with that she had a great sense of humor and did not think any question was out of bounds! Bless you, Saint Lois!
