"It’ll be 'found gold’ for her!” And she smiled as she bustled about the shop. Even then, as a child, I knew that Grandma was the "found gold” for all who knew her always giving more than was expected, cheer fully looking for ways to gladden those whose lives touched hers. Today I know that Grandma’s strength was of the spirit. The teachings of her church gave purpose to her life. She lived her creed joyously, demonstrating vividly for all around her the vitality and richness of the Christian life. Today, in a world that sometimes seems dark with selfishness and greed, each of us needs to realize and utilize the spiritual resources of his church as a necessity of life.
