Grandmothers

acrostic, three quatrains G - Great women of the Bible I will share, R - Ruth and Rahab, two women who would wear A - ancestry in King David’s lowly birth, N - never daring to think they had much worth. D - Dauntless Rahab gave spies a helping hand; M - Modest Ruth was unaware of God’s plan. O - Old Jericho fell, Rahab was kept safe; T - Trusting Ruth left Moab on paths of faith. H - Holy God blessed them both with his good grace. E - Each of these trusting women could now trace R - record of their worth in Messiah’s tree. S – Surely, it’s faith that counts, not what we see. 8-13-18 Savannah Brown's contest: CONTEST NUMBER 1 - AN ACROSTIC INCORPORATING A QUATRAIN
