Mrs. Polly Fuller Griffin, age 71, a resident of Hamilton, died Sunday, January 26, 2003, at 4:40 a.m. in the Hospice Unit at Fort Hamilton Hospital. She was born in

She married Stan Griffin on April 2, 1955, in Richmond, Virginia. She was a registered nurse and had been employed in Woodstock and Harvard, Illinois at Fort Hamilton Hospital and local nursing homes and home health care agencies. Her passion in life was the Workers For Jesus, an organization dedicated to helping the sick and suffering which she founded in 1972. The Workers For Jesus and its projects now reach people in over 90 countries and its web site is visited by thousands of people each week. She also wrote three Books: “The Eleventh Commandment”, “The Hidden Light” and “A Revolutionary New Health Discovery”. Her hobbies included gardening, traveling and quilting. For a time she operated a handcraft consignment shop in Hamilton, The Rosebud Gift Shoppe.

Let
your light
so shine
before
men,
that they
may see
your good
works
and
glorify
your
Father
which is
in Heaven
Matthew
5:16 KVJ |

The
Scriptures listed on this
page are some of my mom's
favorites |
|
And
Jesus went
about all
the cities
and
villages
teaching
in their
synagogues,
and
preaching
the gospel
of the
kingdom
and
healing
every
sickness
and every
disease
among the
people.
But when
He saw the
multitudes,
He was
moved with
compassion
on them,
because
they
fainted,
and were
scattered
abroad, as
sheep
having no
shepherd.
Then saith
He unto
His
disciples,
"The
harvest
truly is
plenteous
but the
labourers
are few;
Pray ye
therefore
the Lord
of the
harvest,
that he
will send
forth
labourers
into the
harvest."
Matthew
9:35-38
KJV

What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith,
and have not works? can faith save him?
If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
and one of you say unto them, depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things
which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
Yea, a man may say, thou hast faith, and I have works:
shew me thy faith without thy works,
and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well:
the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know,
O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
Was not Abraham our father justified by works,
when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness:
and he was called the Friend of God.
Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
For as the body without the spirit is dead,
so faith without works is dead also.
James 2:14-26 KJV

Springtime is the most wonderful time to me. It is great to get out of the house after a long,
cold, winter. It is also time to get the garden work started. My children hate to work in the garden, but I love it. I can lose myself completely while working in it.
It seems that all the problems of life can be forgotten and the most important thing is the planting of seeds and starting new life.

My garden provides me with exercise, a suntan, entertainment and delicious foods. I find it fascinating. In recent years I have become an organic
gardener and am trying to develop a year round mulch. A great satisfaction is experienced when I can "beat the weeds." The work there is very interesting. I never garden the exact same way year after year. I'm always trying something new. Last spring I tried planting potatoes on top of the ground and covered them with mulch. At harvest time, I did not gather all of them. This year, the places that had a good depth of mulch, sprung forth with new potatoes without having to be planted. This fall I plan to leave potatoes intentionally to see if it will be unnecessary to plant them each spring. Two years ago we planted three rows of strawberries. This spring the plants had multiplied so much that we were able to share some with the neighbors.
