Dear Fiona Quinn,
Papaw just received a message from your great-grandmother and she said that she is subscribing to your blog feed!
Your Great-Grandparents at the Shelton Family Reunion in 2013.
Your great-grandparents are both strong Christians who live a Spirit-filled life. Even though they are life-long believers, a few years ago they fell deeper into the Word and it has richly enhanced their walk with God and their daily dependence upon HIm. Papaw and Mimzi love a preacher who we watch on television. His name is Creflo Dollar and he always says that we are to renew our minds daily with the Word of God. This is something your great-grandparents practice each and everyday whether it is through reading the Word, watching religious programming on television, listening to Christian radio, or listening to Southern Gospel music. Some of their most favorite preachers are Adrian Rogers, Charles Stanley, and David Rogers.
Your cousin, Caleb, and your Great-Grandparents
Not only are your great-grandparents strong Christians, but strong supporters of Israel and the Jewish people, as well. Isaiah 62:6 and 7 reminds me of the love your great-grandparents have for the Chosen Ones of the Lord.
“I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence, And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.”
My precious granddaughter, you are born into a family with a strong Christian legacy and it is my fervent prayer for you that you live a life of faith, consecrated to God, and guided by the Holy Spirit.
Fiona Quinn, beloved of my heart. may the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you His everlasting peace. May the Lord’s hand of health, healing, prosperity, happiness, and intense joy ever be upon you.
You are the apple of my eye,
Papaw
