Grandma's 85th Birthday


Today more than 90 people (family and friends) came together to celebrate this amazing lady's 85th birthday. My Grandma Crabill--Mom's mom.
She had no idea we were all converging on her home with tons and tons of food, hugs, kisses, cards, grandchildren, great grand children, great great grandchildren...
A man was hired in with huge fryers and dozens of pounds of fish, chicken, tenderloins, onion rings, french fries, mac 'n' cheese corners...all kinds of yummy greasy foods!
Grandma was very surprised, and happy to be.

I can't begin to tell how blessed our family is to have a Grandma like her. She is truly giving, genuinely loving, and such an example of the love of Jesus. In her blessing before eating, she prayed that all her family would love and serve Jesus with all their souls. And, it is obvious that she prays her beautiful prayers from her heart. I am so thankful to have her for my grandma, to learn from her example, and to see the way her family loves her so much.
