Aunt Grace

Aunt Grace was very special to me. She departed this life on 13th June 2007, on her 94th birthday. What was particularly special about her was that she walked with Jesus in her daily life and was therefore a woman of prayer, in tune with her Lord. She was a great comfort to me when I was bereaved. Over many years she had used what she called our ‘family prayer’ as she prayed daily not just for her own children and grandchildren but for nephews, nieces and their children too, “…that not one of them should be missing on the coming day of glory.” (a reference to the day when the Lord Jesus will return for his people.) It was a prayer known to be used by Pamela Ann Prior (1790-1858) and subsequently taken up by later generations of the family with greatly positive outcomes for many of us.
