3.10- Momma Woods, my grandmother, would swing and rock for hours in silence

 3.10-

Momma Woods, my grandmother, would swing and rock for hours in silence. Not reading. Not watching TV, or listening to radio or holding a smart phone. Not knitting,

Just a faraway look. Papa had been gone a long time.

Be still and know...(that you and I are not God) God is God.

Reflect...

Live a heavenly lifestyle as Jesus did.

Best life for here and hereafter.

Sitting in that swind she could see fruit trees from the front porch.

Papa had harvested peaches, but had beehives there also..

90 year old John wrote of the future for a 90 year old child of God.

"On each side of the river stood the tree of life bearing twelve crops of fruit bearing fruit every month and the leaves are for the healing of the nations."

She had see the hurt of nations at war.

WWI and WW2 and the hurt of the loss of a baby. She knew of worship hymns about heaven.

"This world is not my home I'm just passing through."

Revelation 22.

22 And he showed me a river of the water of life, [a]clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of [b]the Lamb, 2 in the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve [c]kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve Him; 4 they will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. 5 And there will no longer be any night; and they [d]will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illuminate them; and they will reign forever and ever.

6 And he said to me, “These words are faithful and true”; and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent His angel to show His bond-servants the things which must soon take place.
