An 89-year-old grandma has been praying for years to meet Tim Tebow - and she finally got her prayers answered.
 
A video released by TMZ Sports captured the moment Margaret Henderson met the 29-year-old former quarterback and best-selling author. 
 
Tebow surprised Henderson in her home in Atlanta, Georgia, last week. 
 
"That's not Tim Tebow!" Henderson exclaimed when Tebow greeted her a hug. "Oh my God, you're kidding!"
 
Tebow asked Henderson how she was doing and Henderson let him know that she had been praying to meet him. 
 
"I prayed to meet you. I can't believe it ... can I kiss you," she asked before planting a kiss on Tebow's cheek. "I love you, I love your mama, I love your daddy, I love Robby, and I love all of your family."
 
Tebow responded by giving her a hug and thanking her for her kind words. 
 
The former Heisman Trophy winner is known for visiting and surprising fans. 
 
In 2014, he visited McKenzie Hoskins, who waited 24 hours to meet HIM during a visit to Knoxville, Tennessee, The Christian Post reported. 
 
He gave Hoskins a piece of cake and autographed a sign she made for him. 
 
"Honestly, he could have brought me a piece of grass (or) a cotton ball and I would have reacted the exact same way. It didn't matter what he could have brought me," Hoskins told WJHL last December. 
 
"I was so overjoyed that I was meeting my hero, [the]  hero of my faith. He stands for everything I believe in--Jesus Christ and the stance he takes for Him," she added.
