Letter to the family from my great grandmother

"There will be nothing new in this letter I have not told you before but eternal things cannot be spoken of too often. If I have taught you any- thing of the abundant life I am happy & have therefore left you something of real worth. Give up the habits that are stumbling blocks to you or anyone else. Don’t let the suffering that has come from mistakes be wasted-use it to strive to greater heights. Ask for God's help not only in times of trouble but in times of prosperity. Sometimes prosperous times are more testing than adverse times. Never measure success by material things. Try to be in God's house on Sundays. Memorize 'A morning resolve' in your 'Forwards'& say it every morning & then by God's grace try to follow it. Walter said 'all stick together' & I say it too."
