Ah, the prayers of a grandmother.

And welcome as we look into the life and message of Elizabeth Elliott once again.

She's been calling us to live to a higher standard each day and not be satisfied with second best.

As our series continues, we'll be hearing from family, from friends,

from others, all influenced by the life and message of Elizabeth Elliott. A thank you for coming

along with us today. Well, today we wrap up a short five-part series on grandmother's stories.

The difference your prayers make is the conclusion.

Also, some thoughts on when you don't understand.

Maybe you're in a place like that now.

Well, Elizabeth will have some help for you.

We'll be hearing from a friend of Elizabeth

Alia, Jean Hamilton, as she shares some memories of Elizabeth about her help during troubled times.

Even a small gesture can mean a lot. Also, Elizabeth will take some time to explain the name, Gateway to Joy.

What does it signify?

That later.

First, though, the difference your prayers make.

In Secure in the Everlasting Arms, Elizabeth wrote,

One reason we are so harried and hurried is that we make yesterday and tomorrow our business when all that

legitimately concerns us is today. If we really have much to do, there are some items on the

agenda which God did not put there. Let us submit the list to him and ask him to indicate which items we must

delete. There is always time to do the will of God. If we are too busy to do that, we are too

busy.
