Her Life

A 2007 CD Collection of Songs - Dedicated and Written by Laurene Braden

July 22, 2014

     My only thoughts were of the peace that are around me, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, my husband, my children, my grandchildren, and my friends.  They have supported me through the years with love and devotion.
     First, I would like to give honor to Jesus Christ.  I accepted him at the age of 12.  He blessed me many ways.  His most precious blessing was the gift of music.  This talent has enabled me to praise Him through song.  My mother always wanted me to play the piano but we could not afford lessons.  It was her prayer that one of her daughters play.  "Mother, God has touched my hands and your prayers have been answered."  I have been playing music in the church since 1972.  I have such wonderful memories of my pastors, church and friends through music.  By using music as my talent, I was blessed with being crowned Mrs. Senior Jefferson County in 1998.  
     John, you are my dear, sweet husband.  Thank you for your love, support and devotion the past 57 years.  Without your encouragement, this CD wouldn't have been possible.  Thanks, "I love you because you are you".  You are the ray of sunshine that God has placed in my life.
     "Honor thy Father and thy Mother" is a commandment both of my darling children, Johnny and Diane, have always exbihited.  You are both a joy and a blessing.  God must have picked you especially for me.
     Last, but not least, my little darling grandchildren.  "Grandmamice" loves you very much.  Listen to my music as a remembrance that God is miracle worker and through him all blessings flow.
