So sad (yet rejoicing for her) to hear of Ruth Graham's passing. I am posting two links to CT posts/articles that I found really inciteful. They are short...if you have a minute, read them. I think you will be greatly encouraged.

I loved the quote "the martyrdom of a long life" and the story of her outsmarting her son by climbing in a 2nd story window. I better start working out a lot harder before the teen years is all I can say.

I thought Billy's Graham's line, referring to their marriage to be profound..."we are happily incompatible."
We were able to see the funeral service...and I enjoyed it so much...strange to say for a funeral but true. What a beautiful, well-lived life, and what a true example of Christian hope even in times of sorrow. I taped it so will have to share w/you if you didn't see the whole thing...the message was awesome! Hope ya'll are having a good time w/those precious twins! (I love the names, too.)
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoyed these articles. I laughed and I cried and I am encouraged and challenged.
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you how great it was to hear that her kids were so like mine... And I, too, am going to have to practice my window-climbing skills!
It has made me want to study her more - this lady of grace and wit and spunk.
I'm so glad you started blogging. You ALWAYS have something interesting and encouraging - whether deep or just fun. Thanks for sharing.
