In the morning warmth of her garden, eating her hand baked love,
I reflected back to the beginning of a friendship that was to shape me so deeply
I would never be the same...
Sometime during the
mid of those rough teen years I fell helplessly behind in Math.
Through the whole
twelve years of learning numbers there was only one good thing that came from
math.
And that was a
friendship of the dearest sweetest type.
She was a math tutoring
extraordinary.
Week after week as I laboured through hopelessness at her
kitchen table I watched her do life
Making bread to sell
to support missions,
Preparing meals for a
family facing hard times,
Cookies for a bundle
of kids she would care for after school,
Painting rooms so
there was space for elderly family,
Long bike rides with
her sons,
Always ~ always
serving!
Always ~ always time
for me!
It was watching
Marion’s life as a teen I realized what true generosity was. It was giving sincerely
to Every person. It was being the
light of love in often very humble situations with no thought of personal gain.
This was Marion!
And I decided then
that if I could be like any single person on earth, I would want to model her.
My first baby girl
has her name and I pray often that my Baby Marion will know how to love like
her ‘Aunty’ Marion.
Spending a year under
Marion’s tutoring changed me; the example of her life altered my ambitions and
led me closer to God and his desires for my future. Her friendship has been a
true gift from heaven.
I will always esteem you
Marion
Thank you
