Holidays
Friend, we’re smack dab in the middle of the best time of the year, that period between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Somehow, most everybody gets more mellow (unless they get too uptight about gifts and shopping)—and there’s a growing feeling of good will, nostalgia and memories of Christmas past, with loved ones and happy times.
Back in North Carolina, there’s a frail but incredibly brave elder statesman in a wheel chair, trying to make the most of these precious days without his first and only wife Ruth. Yes, he has most of his children and some of his grandkids around him, and lots of tender, loving care—but none of that can replace the company of that dear life companion of over 60 years.
Still, Billy Graham soldiers on, even through the celebration of his 90th birthday, using every opportunity to praise his God and point people to Jesus. What an amazing man!
May I make a suggestion, one I hope won’t be taken wrongly by anybody? As a Christmas gift to Billy, and to families and friends you love, what about slipping the “Thank You Billy Graham” video into their stockings? As you do, you’re paying your own tribute to one of this world’s best loved human beings, perpetuating his legacy to another generation and beyond–and contributing to the needs of people in other parts of the world, in Billy’s name. Doesn’t that seem kind of right, this Christmas?
Merry Christmas, Billy Graham–and God bless you, dear friend.
