This picture is of my Dad's side of the family. The lady on the end on the far left was my Great Grandmother Freeman. She died about 3 years ago, over 100 years old. She had been in this good way all her life. I have a rich heritage in my family. So many of my ancestors served the Lord. Even farther back than this. I believe my Dad said, her mother was a shouting Methodist. I never really knew my great, great grandmother, but I did know my Great Grandma Freeman. My grandmother is also a wonderful saint. Sometimes she really keeps me encouraged. The Lord has been so good to me. Sometimes it's amazing when you look back at the tapestry of your life and the lives of those gone on before you. I guess we truly are "encompassed with so great a cloud of witnesses" . I think of men like Bro. Jack Hoof, Bro. Glenn Patterson, Jeff's great grandfather Elbert Dodd, and I wonder if they are over there cheering us on. We can make it! Let us run with patience the race set before us! Trisha
