The Lingering effects of Melvine’s spiritual life on our home.
I had opportunity to look on a wall in the entrance hallway of our home the other day. I noticed two Scripture verses encased in appropriate picture frames that Melvine had placed there.
The first Scripture is:
2 Corinthians 12:9
And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness."
NKJV
The second Scripture is:
Joshua 24:15
“ . . .but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
NKJV
What a powerful impact that made on me. I sat there in the seat of my rollator walker and thanked God once again for a Godly wife who loved Jesus supremely, and put Him first everyday of her life.
My life, and the lives of our children, Greg and Stephanie, were the recipients her unfailing love, towering faith in God and in His Son Jesus Christ.
I am reminded of a Scripture that I memorized early in my life, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6, NKJV).
Melvine was an outstanding Bible teacher. She knew how to impart knowledge to her classes and in the process welcomed humor and laughter to make learning a pleasant experience.
I will be eternally grateful to God for giving me such an incredible wife and loving mother of our children.
