My grandma passed away last night around 845p. Yes, that is my mom’s mom, 89 years old. I was with her and she fought the good fight. She was as sweet as can be. Had actually a beautiful day with her.
As I sat with my grandma yesterday in the morning. She was still coherent and holding my hand. My sister had given me a verse the day before Phil 4:8. It is a famous verse and I always used the verse for my children saying “Philippians 4:8 that TV show, movie, music.” I even caught my son saying to his sister “Philippians 4:8 that show.”
Philippians 4:8 8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
I had been caring my mom’s bible to read passage to Grandma and saying “oh mom marked this and that.” I looked up Phil. 4:8 and my mom did not have that verse marked but she had verse:
Philippians 4:9 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
I had my computer with me and just being filled with such joy knowing I was sitting in the right place comforting my Grandma, I began to play with the two verses. I will now call Phil. 4:9 my “Learn, Receive, Hear, put it into practice” verse. If you put it into practice the results will be, “The peace of God will be with you.” When I was young, I was the Jumble queen in my home. I could get the newspaper and do the word jumbles in no time. I loved that my mind worked so fast. Philippians 4 the verse eight has 8 things we are advised to think on, so I took the beginning of each word and tried to come up with a word so that I could remember the 8 things I should think on each day. Here is what I can only come up with “TRANPPLE” I thought of “APPLE-NRT.” Wish it could have been a word.
Pray with me: Father in Heaven may I today remember the things that you would want me to think on. Thank you for my Grandma’s life. As I learn, receive and hear from you may I have the courage to put it into practice. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
Love from above,
Elaine

I too just came up with TRANNPLE and came to the computer to see if anyone else had came up with an acronym and found this post, you could also say N-R-T-APPLE (an hearty apple)or N-RT-APPLE (an right apple)or N-APPLE-TR (an apple eater)
