Grandpa’s Favorite

6. Share a favorite quote (or group of quotes) that you enjoy and describe what they mean to you.

I’m actually going to share a hymn not a quote.

This summer I had a chance to visit many places. One of those places was Letchworth State Park in Castile, New York. It’s been rated as the number one state park. The park has been described as the Grand Canyon of the East.

We stopped throughout the park so I could admire the views. Lots of photos were taken during our time during the time we were in the park.

The lyrics from “How Great Thou Art” haunted my mind during our visit to the park. Is though the lyrics were written about Letchworth.

“How Great Thou Art” was my grandpa’s favorite hymn so anytime I hear the words I think of him. He was a father figure of mind who was one of my heroes. I was fortunately to have him in my life for 28.5 years.
