You came from families who loved the Lord Jesus and cherished the Bible. In the middle of this picture (Taken about 1962) are Grandpa and Grandma Buza. Grandpa was from Custer Park, Illinois and graduated from a Bible College in Johnson City, New York. Grandma Buza was from the Catskill Mountains region of New York and met Grandpa at Bible College. After they were married, they were pastor and wife and were also missionaries. They were Grampie Wayne's Mom and Dad. At the left of this picture is Grammie Ruth Williams. She grew up on a farm in Littleton, Maine and graduated from Ricker College in Houlton. While she was a student at Ricker, she was involved in a group called Christian Endeavor. All through her life she was involved in Church and Christian camping ministries. She is Grammie Brenda's Mom. On the right is one of your great, great grandmothers. Grammie Muriel was born in Presque Isle, Maine but lived most of her life in Monticello and Littleton, Maine. She is the one who taught all of the children to memorize Bible verses and to pray. Everyone who visited her house heard about Jesus and Heaven and how God loves us. She was involved in ministry to women and children in her Churches that she attended. She loved vacation Bible School and Sunday School.
Thank the Lord for these grandparents and others who taught their children about Jesus and prayed for all of us before we were born. They weren't perfect. And neither are we, but without their love of God and their faithful lives as Christians, the story of OUR lives would probably be very different. Aren't you GLAD God had a plan for US to be born into a Christian family? I am. I am VERY glad and very thankful!
