My granddaughter saw a book in a store titled "Thanks for being my Grandmother" and she asked if she could buy it for me.  I wanted to share a few quotes to bless and encourage you.   Remember, being a grandmother is a place of great influence in little lives so pray for them continually, use wisdom and allow God to use you.              Maureen
