Why Grannies?
Jesus talks a lot about planting seeds. That’s exactly what my grandmothers did. They planted “Jesus seeds” in me.
There was always “a little something” about Jesus at their tables or at bedtime, when I stayed all night. They each took me to church functions with them if one occurred during my summer visit.
I lost my Grandma Birdie when I was 13, so it was Grandma Chloe who kept Jesus close during my teens. We had no Jesus in my immediate family – no church, no Bible. It was all about being a good, honest person, but there was no God. My Grandmas planted “Jesus seeds” with love and caring.
As with all seeds, once they’re in the dark soil long enough, with the right conditions “above ground”, they’ll sprout and grow. My Grandmas were gardeners, growing flowers and vegetables. When it came to me, they planted “Jesus seeds”. They were always there with their nurturing, loving advice, embellished with “Jesus says”.
Grannies can offer a special touch like none other. Let’s all be special, gardening Grannies!

Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”
For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him.

About Lynne
I joined Toastmasters in 2001 at the age of 53 – because I’m a ham! I enjoy being silly and making people laugh. I now call myself, The
Collector of Smiles.
Toastmasters is an organization which helps members to grow in self confidence by honing communication and leadership skills. At Club meetings we practice leading a meeting and presenting speeches – our own words expressed in a concise way with supporting body language.
