Today was my Grandma White’s 86th birthday! She is about as close as you can get to feeling the pure love of Christ on this earth from another mortal. I simply know that when Heavenly Father sent her forth to serve her mission here on earth, He had miraculous plans laid out for her. While the plans may not have been to be a successful, famous, known-to-the-world individual, He sent her forth to to be a shining example of his love, grace, humility, and to ultimately bring others to Christ through her good works.
I cannot express how grateful I am to have her as my grandma. Any time I go to visit her, she is never caught up in the worldly matters, but it is as if she has a second sight: sight to see the bigger picture––to see the eternities. Never will she share a negative, pessimistic thought, opinion, or judgement. She only ever points out the prevalent, but sometimes hard for us to see, truth and light. We all need someone like Grandma White, I believe. They are the individuals who help keep you going down the right path that ultimately leads you back home.
