I remember, as a teenager, Murray came to help my dad build a shop. He stayed with our family for several weeks. One day, he asked me if I knew how to get wisdom. He said he'd leave the question with me to ponder. I could not in all my thinking figure out what could possibly be the answer. All my guesses were not what he was looking for. Finally, he asked me to look up the verse in Psalms 111:10. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom..." It was kind of an ah ha moment for me. It gave me something more to think about.
His wife, came to stay with us for a short time when my mom was away during this time, too. She could make any left overs taste absolutely wonderful! She would turn the basics from the past meal into a totally new dish. We also, marveled at how she could figure out what our favorite dishes were. She confessed that she went through my mom's cookbooks and made what was on the most soiled pages. She was so sweet to us. I really had a soft spot in my heart for her.
They both gave so willing and blessed us during this time. They were so generous and practically helpful. We were very grateful.
