Show & Tell: Hero Reminders...(pt 2)

Thanks for joining me! Join others for Show & Tell!

Today I share my heirlooms-
First a little Tell:
Growing up I had the best grandfathers. To one I was his favorite (this required being VERY well behaved), I spoke of him last week. He was a quiet man. And I adored him.
My paternal grandfather was FUN! Teasing, playing, teasing, tickling, teasing-well you get the picture. At his house I was just 'one of the many' and it was wonderful. He told grand stories and was, well, fun. I figured he was where my dad got his 'twinkle' in his eye!
After this grandfather passed away (to prostate cancer) in the 90's, I learned he was a man of God. Who knew?

{As a small girl I visualized that I was the girl in Jesus' lap}
This paint-by-number was given to him by his sister-in-law and always hung in his house. I thought it was more his wife's choice than his. However after becoming an adult I was amazed as I remembered it was my father who saw that we went to church, more than mom, is it possible this was from the example of his father? I learned that this Papa was a Sunday School teacher, and yes, a man of God. My faith is quite generational-and I am very thankful!

This is now hanging over the table (actually since I received it, it has hung in over our table), my plans are to add a plate with the Lord's Supper on it (also this grandfather's), and a metal/wood book scripture plaque (maternal grandmother's), when I unpack them. Representing the deep roots already started for me!

God Bless!!!!

Thank you for joining me!
