It's feeding my spirit every day.<br />I cannot imagine what it must have felt like to meet this faith giant.<br />She never doubted or blamed God, no matter what.<br />But after living through Holocaust went on praising his name and spreading the gospel.<br />Words really mean something coming from such a tried woman.<br />(But the devil loves reminding me how weak and shortcoming I am, especially when reading this. I'm showing him off. God choose me just like I am. Wonder over wonder.)<br /><br /><br />Love your son and his beautiful family as well.<br />May they be richly blessed.<br />From FelisolFelisol https://www.blogger.com/profile/12240191154632603841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-25959787014557081282010-02-25T11:02:19.058-08:002010-02-25T11:02:19.058-08:00Corrie Ten Boom and the book/movie The Hiding Plac...Corrie Ten Boom and the book/movie The Hiding Place is very special to us. When we owned a Christian store years ago we carried the video and it was very popular. <br /><br />What a treat to have come home to her in your home speaking with your family.<br /><br />You mentioned something Sonja about listening to someone when they have come from serious pain etc. I so agree. My Grandmother who went to the LORD in 1990, taught me something similar as a child.<br /><br />Her stance was if someone older is speaking listen to them even if you know what they are saying already -- or even if you have some level of knowledge in that particular area the point is to be silent and GLEAN from them because they walked before you. It was wisdom I have never forgotten and it has served me well. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing this wonderful message with us today.<br /><br />I always enjoy my visits to your blog. I wish I could more often.

The part of her story that always stuck with me was how she met up with that guard and was able to forgive him. I've often wondered if I would have the grace to do that. I know a Holocaust survivor personally, who is a Jew and not a Christian...she is in her mid 80's and has carried bitterness all these years.
