The Hero I Have Known by Grace Julius Ssembatya  Mulago Hospital, 1997. Grace Julius (recovering from broken leg) with his beloved Grandmother, Efrance Weronde  Dear Grandmother, To the world you are one person, but to me you are the world. You don’t have much, but we have always and still feel like we have everything. You don’t have millions in your bank account, but you have created a legacy worth much more. You taught me love, patience and endurance. You taught me how to pray and led by example. You praised me whenever I did well and pointed out my mistakes with that gentle voice. You encouraged me to work hard in school and taught me how to read and write. I still remember your voice as you tell me bedtime stories and sometimes sat around the fire at night. I still remember everything you taught me. Grandmother you are the truest, dearest, more than a grandmother to me. I call you a friend, sister, cousin and also dad when I lost Dad to the world. You stood alone for 20 years after he neglected ....  Grandmother's (sitting on porch) house in Mukono District, 2021

 Occasionally, Start with a Grateful Heart Blog accepts short pieces from Christian writers, bloggers, poets, and interested others who have a personal story to share about the impact that mindsets of gratitude, thankfulness, or appreciation have had on their personal and/or professional lives. Your story matters. My readers would love to know why you're so thankful or exactly how you count your blessings as a mom, a wife, a sister, daughter, or friend. You can keep it simple or go a bit deeper. We'd love to know if you've ever found the silver lining as a result of a serious trial in your life. Maybe you've overcome great odds. Maybe you've shown remarkable courage and persistence. Just give us a peek into what makes you smile each day. :)  |
