Deontrae Drane says
In everything in life there is a source nothing is created without the supply of the creator. So I first must give honor and praise to my God.
For it is he, that knew my granny before she was conceived in her mother�۪s womb and it is he that embraced her early morning on December 4th. In the book of psalm God�۪s desire for us is to at least live 70 years (psalm 90:10) and my granny surpassed the time because she had more work to do.
I learned how to be generous by watching her example in giving just like the widow woman who took that last of what she had and gave it to some one else. I have seen her sacrificially help another person without thinking about her own needs time and time again. I believe whatever you sow in tears you will reap in joy. Nothing my granny did in my life and all the others who are hear this morning was not in vain. She has done her work and finished her course and victory is hers this morning.
She will not be missed by no means because her spirit of generosity will remain in me. Thank you God for allowing me to be born at such a time as this you couldn�۪t have picked a better teacher in my life like granny.
