. . . of leaving a Legacy of Service and Humility.
My great-grandmother was a French-Canadian girl taken in during a native attack on a village and lived with the tribe. Her son, my grandfather, grew up in Alberta speaking only the language of the native band and a few words in English. At the turn of the century, he was called to the ministry. Even though he didn’t speak English, and was hardly fluent until the day he died in 1975, he answered the call.
He worked where he felt he was needed. He never owned a home but lived in whatever rectory the church provided for him. As I grew to know him in the 1950s, I got used to his routine. He preached at one church in the morning and another in the evening, seventy miles from the first. I thought of him as a simple, uneducated man who worked hard to help the people close to him. After all, he could hardly string a sentence of English together.
