“Counting your Blessings…”
Click on the above letter from the “PINK SISTERS” on Warne Avenue – Saint Louis, Missouri – just so you can read it better in a size larger.
This letter is addressed to my GRAND-MOTHER, Anne Smart Brady, a wonderful woman who had the strength to do all of her own Baking, Cooking and tending to a household of thirteen (13) – as you know – my Mother, Marie Brady McClarren was the 13th and last child!
This letter was a note of Thanksgiving for Blessings received – as the “PINK SISTERS” spend all of their time in prayer – for all the intentions of all those who wish to request their prayers – as the more that we pray for something special – we will receive that which – the Almighty knows that we may have “NEED” of – It is the needs we have – that are answered – – our wants that – end up in a selfish request – sometimes – never see the light of day.
The back side of the above note is an encouraging note of letting Grandma Brady know – that her and all of the BRADY FAMILY will be remembered in CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS and Prayers for all the intentions of all their needs – with a note that they will be praying further – for Mr Brady’s health and strength to be returned soon . – This note was signed by “MOTHER M. ROSE” – as (your friend in C J )
I am grateful and Thankful that this letter survived all these many years – as I notice that Mother Rose used the word “rejoiced” – I feel that the using the word “JOY” is so much better – than to just say that you are “HAPPY” for someone. What do you think???
One other thing – I just wanted the world to know that someone that I was praying for – called today to tell me – – that they received an “ALL CLEAR” of cancer – which they were being treated far – and they are now feeling so much better with this good news. So, all praise and the glory – be to the Almighty for prayers that have been answered! Amen. DV
