Ruth Graham "Gone Home"

Billy Graham, like other Christians who believe the Bible is God's Word, sorrows, now that he has lost his loving Ruth, but not as others who have no hope. He expresses the sincere conviction that he expects to see her again in the presence of the Lord.

He and Ruth, college sweet hearts, have been faithful to each other; have worked alongside of one another; have together raised their children to love Christ. They are a wonderful example of Christian married life, and Billy's faith is as apparent and real now, in their separation, as it has been real in all aspects of his ministry.

He is a trophy of grace, a testimony of grace, and a receiver of grace sufficient for him in this day of loss. Would that all of us, Christians, were such picture illustrations of what God can do in a man or woman totally committed to Jesus Christ, our savior and Lord.

May the memory of Ruth's life glorify God.

May Billy continue in grace.
