"Is God bigger than any of your problems?"

My Grandmother Greene was stricken with the cruel disease of rheumatoid arthritis. That painful disease progressed and coupled with heart attacks, fibrillations and a series of mini-strokes, I watched painfully as her life slowly and cruelly ebbed away. But I also watched as she listened to life, making the most of her moments.

I complimented her one afternoon on her endurance and attitude. "Well," she replied, "I don't do it alone. You see that sign on the kitchen counter. That's how I do it. I remember that."

On that kitchen counter was a simple yellow sign, folded in half to stand, with blue lettering which read: "God is bigger than any problem I have."

After I helped carry her casket to a freshly-opened grave, I went back to her home to change clothes. As I walked in the door, the first thing I saw was that simple yellow and blue placard. And it still read, "God is bigger than any problem I have."

And for the first time, I really understood what she meant.
