You raised a fine son grandma!

April 15, 2018

Today is the second year anniversary of your passing grandma and boy do I miss you! My relief and peace is in knowing where you are and I praise God for I know you have nothing but joy and happiness! This is a simple photo but it resembles much. It represents a GOOD MAN. A man that you taught so very well. He works hard not only for his family but for his church and so many others. He selflessly gives and gives of himself, with no mention of it, not once. He talks often of the hot chocolate you had ready for him late at night and the conversations you enjoyed together, while sipping on it! There's so much more....but you were a selfless example to follow without mention, like your son. And many are blessed because of it! Thank you grandma, we love you very much! Joanna

Dutchy

I will always remember our times together!  I enjoyed our trips to Orange City shopping Dutchy

I especially love this memory. John and Glenda in the shoe!

We had a lot of good laughs together. 


From the mouth of a babe

April 21, 2016

She was blessed! It was unexpected and appropriately timed. He may not have known the true meaning, but the Lord spoke through him. A child. She heard it through a dear friend. On a random day. A good while later. Amanda was hanging out with her friend when she told her the sweet story. Zayden was the culprit. An elderly lady was the recipient. Amanda's friend had been babysitting Zayden. There were quite a few people at her House for a get together. Zayden had cleaverly piled the treats high up on his plate. He left the kitchen with that stack of goodies and headed into the living room. That's where he approached the elderly lady whom he had never met. He sweetly tapped her on the shoulder and asked, " Can I eat these?"  In a loving tone she answered, "Of course."  Wondering back into the kitchen with lips full of icing and crumbs, Amanda's friend asked Zayden why he had asked that lady permission the eat the goodies. Especially when  he didn't even know her.  In innocence and the kindness of a child who knows not what he says, he responded, " Well, Grammie' s not here, who else  am I gonna ask?!"  That lady was blessed! She had later reported that it had been a very long time since a child has come to see her.  

We don' t always see how God works. 

But He has a future and a plan for us. And it is perfect.


Mom's bible

April 19, 2016

I randomly rooted through an old shelf the day before Grandma went to be with the Lord. I had no idea that I had hidden jewels unrevealed right there next to my bed. I found a bible that Grandma gave me and Jason after her own mothers passing. Personally I never knew that Grandma Den Beste had a loving relationship with the Lord. How truly excited my heart became! Many verses were marked with beautiful hand stitched bookmarks, flyers from her church with BBQs events and much more. But the one that captured  my heart was the pressed rose marking 1 Corinthians 1-5 "For as the sufferings of Christ in abound in us so our consolation also abounded the by Christ."
