Not often in life are we fortunate enough to have someone of Maggie's character and personality present themselves to us.
She shared her life with us, her family, and her relationship with The King of Kings.
So often in her writings, we were taken on the journey with her. Her journey with her siblings as they traveled the paths of life in those pre-war years, and later we were fortunate to journey through Marine Boot Camp with that new recruit.
We traveled the Al-Can Highway in that Chevy Greenbrier to a new duty station in Alaska. We felt the pain a military wife feels when her husband was assigned overseas and the disrespect he endured returning from the Vietnam War.
We tagged along with her to her numerous medical appointments, sharing the heart-breaking news of so many diagnosis's, and all the dialysis treatments.
Our journeys together included visits with her "sistah" and sister. We were her guests as she introduced us to her friends at church and camp meetings at Heritage Village.
All along the entire journey, her faith never faltered and she looked forward to the day that she would be in the presence of her Savior. She shared that faith with many of us and we are the richer in Christ's blessing because of it. I suspect that because of her witness of her faith, many, many folks have been brought to a closer relationship with God, and lives have been re-dedicated to serve Him.
I'm proud to call her friend and spiritual partner. I've enjoyed the journey.
Well Done, Good and Faithful Servant.
