Dies ist ein gerahmtes Bild meiner Großmutter. Es sieht fast so aus, als wäre es aus einem Buch oder so ausgeschnitten? Ich bin mir nicht sicher. Es ist mir schwergefallen, es zu übersetzen. Ich wäre sehr dankbar, wenn mir jemand helfen könnte! Vielen Dank im Voraus!!

Taufzedel = Baptising note (today, a Zettel rather means a more informal note)

The dear Lord you Grace lend, and you with Blessings now enrich, here to live piously, and so you will live forever.
Btw Google translate picks up all the text perfectly. Even the hand-written parts. I use translation a lot on my phone, so I’m very happy with how well it’s integrated on my phone. Worth looking into it.
It’s printed in the Fraktur type, something that I can read fluently due my grandfather who lent me quite a few books when I was a teenager.
