Granny
Rhonda
When I first began on the computer in Aug 2001, I
met a sweet lady in So. Carolina. Her name was something, that
I finally had to change a little. Well she is one of my very
dearest friends on this web. Oh yeh, ~ her name is Granny
Rhonda. I was just surfing around one Sunday afternoon and
came upon her website. I saw the name and the song, Oh My !
did it ever catch my eye and ears.
I stayed and visited for a
long time. Then one day, for some reason, well I know the
reason, it was God . The song on her web site is " Eastern Gates
". I yelled at Leon to come and hear my song, as I call it!
So fast and so very beautiful. I knew from that moment on that I
had found a site that I would be going to on a regular
bases. I did sign her guestbook as I think that, if we visit
that is the kind thing to always do.
I love the way that
Granny Rhonda always says to please be kind and sign someone's
guestbook. Well at that time I had no website of my own. I was
only using the website for our little Grandaughter. One day
Granny Rhonda visited Amber's site and signed her guestbook.
Then she sent a beautiful award for Heather to add to Amber's
site. From that day on, Granny Rhonda and I became friends.
I had only lost my Mom a few months before this. So
Heather said that she was going to adopt Granny Rhonda for her
Granny, as she didn't have hers anymore. So I told Granny
Rhonda about Heather's request. Sure she said, I would love to be
Heather's Granny. lol
Then I found that she had a webring and
what a sweet leader that she is too. She talked to me about
becoming a member of the webring. But she said I will not
push you into it, only when you feel led to come and be with all
of us. Finally I decided to Join in. I have never met anyone
so giving as Granny Rhonda. She has become one of my best
friends, and also like a real family member to me.
Now I
still din't know what she looked like I just thought she was a
little Granny that wore her hair back in a bun. lol This lady
does so much for all of the people in her webring, plus many
others too. One day we were talking and I said you know
something, I have a really funny feeling that I should not
call you Granny Rhonda anymore. lol Oh ! She said. Yep!! Come
to find out that I am a little over 13 yrs older than she is.
lol But she still loved me all the same.
She does have
many more children and grandchildren than me, but that is good.
lol~ She has many adorable little Grandchildren, and I have a
feeling that when you go and visit her site you just might get
to see them. So sweet and cute. But like I say, this is a lady
that loves the "Lord" with all of her heart. She also loves
my kind of music. lol That is right she loves all Southern Gospel
Music, and loves to talk about all of the good times that we
will have, when we will be waiting "Just Inside the Eastern
Gates".
A wonderful earthly friend and a wonderful friend
that I have that has talked to me, and laughed with me, and
cried with me too. Rhonda doesn't think of herself. She always
puts other before her own wants and needs. If it was not for all
of the good encouragement that Rhonda poored out to me so many
times, I would have stopped and not made a web site. And that
was something that I felt God wanted me to do so much.
So
Rhonda you have always been here for me, through so many hard
times and so many times that I needed to talk about my losses of
my Parents, Siblings and little Grandaughter too. I love you
and wanted to say that if we never meet on this earth, we
will meet in " Heaven " and I do believe that we will know each
other. Your family to me, and always will be. So remember
which ever one of us goes first, we will be "Just Inside The
Eastern Gates". Love and Hugs ~~Carolyn~~
Heather
doesn't call her Granny anymore. She has changed her name to Aunt
Rhonda. And those two really make a pair!
"Rhonda and hubby James"
