A Precious Wife

When we moved to Corpus Christi, Texas in 1982, Elmer Moore was preaching at Parkway. He gave me a Thompson Chain Reference Bible with the above note in it. I didn't think too much about that note in 1982 but when I pulled out that old Bible today for the first time in years, the caption really pulled at my heart. Here was an old fellow who apparently had lost his wife after 44 years of marriage. And as he reflected on how much she had meant to him he decided to honor her by honoring the thing that was so dear to both of them... Our Lord Jesus Christ. Brother Blake had provided these Bibles and told Elmer to give them to young men who had a zeal for the Lord. What a great gift... and great example.
