I am a daughter of god

I never met my grandmother, due to the fact that she passed away four years before I was born. Growing up, I always heard stories of this strong powerful woman; filled with faith and belief. She was a mother, a grandmother, and a philosopher. I wish I could hop onto a time machine and see her from afar. From all the stories that I've heard, all of them are based into how much she loved her children, how much she loved GOD. Just recently while doing my genealogy, I asked my mother if she knew why my grandma passed away, she told me some bogus answer. I was determined to find out why she passed away, one of my many cousins gave me the answer I was longing for. Although the answer I got wasn't something I wanted to hear, I thought that she had died from pneumonia, but she told me "Grandma had lung cancer, she didn't want anyone to know." She had her reasons why she didn't want everyone to know, but to me that was a terrible decision.
 I know that my grandma was a great woman, I know that she's in Heaven with Our Heavenly Father. She's surrounded by her children, in their perfect state. She was a daughter of Our Heavenly Father, she served him faithfully until the day she died. With tears in my eyes I could say that I am proud to be called her granddaughter, and that I will serve him faithfully:

I Am a Daughter of God

I am a daughter of God,

he is my Heavenly Father.

He loves me, he is my friend.

I’ll serve him faithfully.

I’ll be a witness of God,

I’ll strive to live righteously.

In all I do and where-ever I go

I’m proud to be a daughter of God.

I’ll comfort those that need comfort,

I’ll mourn with those that mourn,

I will help to bear the burdens of others.

I will serve God, I’ll be his witness,

I will live as a daughter of God.
