was there when we found out the dishwasher did not work. She quickly
let us know she was able to get along quite well without one.
Ruth never uttered a complaint. She used the dishwasher to put towels
in to dry dishes. One evening we had company over. My mother-in-law
opened the dishwasher and took out a towel.
One of our guests was humiliated that the church had not fixed the
dishwasher. He got it fixed. He was so hurt that we became a special
project to him. He made sure our household needs were taken care of
for years.
He has remained our friend across the miles and through the years. He
turned 80 today. He is dying of cancer. He was too weak to make it
through the whole party. He'll be in Heaven soon. Ruth and I are
grateful for the gentle Christlike life he lived, and for the love he
showed us. God bless you, Charlie.
