This week we buried the last of my grandparents. As my my siblings and I stood by the casket for the finale time two things came to mind that stood out that Grandpa has passed on to his family.
1. Work Ethic. Grandpa worked with his hands to farm and build all kinds of things. Grandpa "retired" and was able to reap the benefits of paying in to social security for years, but he never stopped working. He continued to invest in the local church and community until he could no longer physically invest.
2. Spiritual Life. All my grandparents lived out their faith not in a bold, "look at me, I'm so spiritual" fashion...they just simply believed God and lived in who God said He is. They all had faith, not religion.
