Alyssa

Alyssa is Known to Papa as, Granddaughter #1. She is 17 years old. She has been a delight to our hearts since the first moment, we layed eyes on her in the delivery room. We told ourselves, we are not going to be like all these crazy grandparents we know. We will not, act all goofy and take 200 pictures , the first day she arrives and show them to everyone. OH WELL... We Did. Alyssa is such a part of our lives. We have watched her grow into the sweet, polite, respectful, loving, caring, obedient young lady, she is today. She loves God, above all and she has allowed Him to lead her daily. This love for God, is so apparent in the way she loves her parents and desires and strives, to be completely obedient as, they love and lead her daily. She loves her 2 sisters. Madison 11 yrs,& Abigail 9yrs and her little brother, Elijah 4 yrs. She realizes, that God has set her in the position within her family, that SHE IS THE EXAMPLE. The siblings love her dearly, they look up to her, they want to be like her. Alyssa, is always anxious for her sisters & brother to do the right thing. She is the example, that God would have her to be. We, as her grandparents could not be more proud of the young lady she has become. We know and she knows, it is because, she has allowed God to lead her daily. Alyssa, you keep a tender heart, you keep your eyes on God above and walk with him daily, as you have strived to do for a long time. Papa & I remember, once you said to us....." it is not how I live everyday of my life, BUT, How I live every second of my life, that really matters." We need to all look at EACH SECOND of our life, JUST LIKE THAT!!!! Alyssa, Papa & Granny love you with all our hearts!!!!
