Lola Evelyn (Meade) Harrison is my Grandmother from my Dad’s side of the family. I never actually got to meet her, because unfortunately she passed away while my Dad was still a boy. What I do know about her is that she has a legacy that, in my opinion, always spoke for itself.
Raising 5 kids who turned out blessed, and grounded, and in love with Jesus has got to be one of the greatest honors any parent could have. Just knowing my Dad, his sister and 3 brothers, and the affection they have had for her in my lifetime is something pretty special, and it’s a testament to the quality of her character. So although I never got to actually meet her I’ve always felt like I knew her. I can’t imagine her to be anything other than sweet, loving, happy, encouraging, fun, warm, and having a heart of gold.
The Lord has blessed me by putting some really special women in my life; my mother, my grandmothers, my daughters, and most importantly my wife. They all have a history of influencing me for the better, and continue to do so. So don’t ever underestimate the power of love and kindness, and it’s impact on the world around you for generations to come.
He who finds a wife finds what is good
and receives favor from the Lord.
Proverbs 18:22
