One of the surprise highlights of our vacation in Michigan was the Gerald Ford Presidential Library and Museum in Grand Rapids. By the way, all our Presidential Museums are treasures. Whenever near one, take time to visit it.
Gerald Ford presided over us briefly, but during a nightmarish time in our national existence, he gave our country exactly what we needed. He was a civil servant who helped begin to restore our faith in our government.
The highlight of the tour was an exhibit telling of the night when the Watergate scandal was its darkest. Vice President Ford and his wife spent a whole night in prayer. I was deeply touched by this.
Throughout his life, Gerald Ford's guiding Bible verse was Proverbs 3:5-6. It blessed me to see it inscribed on his tomb. “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
