Recently I enjoyed reading again the life story of Margaret's parents Mom and Dad (Walter and Helen) Jespersen "Under His Wings" by Agnes Lawless.
Mom and Dad were married on Nov 17, 1942 in Chengtu, Szechwan, China. The day before Mom gave Dad a wedding present of two brown silk scrolls. A prayer of David from 1 Samuel 7:29 was printed in Chinese on each scroll in gold lettering.
On one, "Oh, Jehovah, now be pleased to bless your servant's family." On the other,"Oh, Jehovah, you have already given your blessing and will continue through eternity."
These two scrolls hang in our house today, a gift of blessing with God's Word given in China to Dad over 65 years ago!
Feel free to stop by and see the scrolls anytime and while here visit awhile with Dad (who will be 95 March 12) who is still "blessed and happy in God."
