A Spunky Senior with a Love for the Bible

Senior woman's hands on a BibleMrs. Husenetter was a spunky, godly senior who lived in Caronport, Saskatchewan as I was growing up. It was the summer between my first and second year at Briercrest Bible College, when I had one of those trajectory-changing conversations with Mrs. Husenetter. She was telling me how she was memorizing Scripture. I thought, "That's nice." To be polite, I asked, "What are you memorizing?" She said, "Ephesians...and I'm almost done chapter six." Wow! That really spoke to me. If an 80-year-old could memorize an entire book of the Bible, maybe I could do the same. I am so thankful for Mrs. Husenetter's good example. It led to many passages of Scripture finding their way into my heart.
