Beulah lived a life. She raised children, put up with a Tom Cat husband, and fed her family. She taught those children the difference between right and wrong, to love others, and to look for the best in people.
Ora, Beulah's daughter, took her mother's teachings to heart and worked hard. She married for life, raised two daughters, cared for the poor, and looked for the best in people.
Ora's daughter, Connie, lived a life as well. She loved the man she married, raised two boys into good men, taught children in the home and schools their letters and numbers and the difference between right and wrong, and she looked for the best in people.
Connie's son, raised by these outstanding women, married me. He treats me like a queen and his children like princes destined to take over the Kingdom.
130 years ago Beulah's mother had no idea what would happen in the future, but she provided what was needed to make it prosper. May I have eyes to see so far into the distance as well.
