Wise Grandmothers

by Rev. Georgeanne Medved

When I was in third grade in 1954 my maternal grandmother died. I missed her very much. She taught me how to plant flowers and we created a very special rock garden in the shape of a triangle and dedicated it to the Holy Trinity, God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Grandma Hazel taught me how to bake special cookies and cakes and do craft projects that she donated to neighborhood churches who sold them at bake sales and fairs. She told me that Holy Spirit inspired her to do that and to always let him be my Guide.

She taught me the old time hymns and I sang them in the music shop where she worked as she played the piano and organ. When people stopped to listen she was gracious and thankful. She relaxed and almost floated when she played that beautiful music.

In doing these things with me, Grandma Hazel taught me how to be a spiritual being who is creative, giving, loving and accepting. She taught me to really listen to Holy Spirit for guidance.

At the end of eighth grade my paternal grandmother died and again I missed her very much. Gram Wade taught me to enjoy reading by giving me special books and also a Bible that previously belonged to my uncle and my father. She taught me prayers and told me that Holy Spirit was always there to council me if only I would be still and listen for His guidance.

We sat on her front porch and she taught me to calm myself and breathe softly and quietly and let Holy Spirit speak to my soul and give me guidance. Her porch became our chapel where marvelous spiritual guidance took place. She was a peaceful woman and taught me to crave serenity.

In doing all of these things Gram Wade taught me to love God and to keep evolving year after year into the spiritual being I was born to become. I am still working on myself and I appreciate the great help she gave me.

Both A Course in Miracles and the Bible teach me how to create, play, pray, learn, love, give and accept and also challenge myself as my two wise Grandmothers did. Many times when I am lonely for the grandmothers I pick up my books and spend a quiet hour reading and thank Holy Spirit for the miracles bestowed on me.
