Susan LaffertyIn our first meeting, I describe to the new believer how a follower of Jesus sets aside time and space every day. For focused communion with the Lord.
This conversation on abiding continues each time we meet.
We talk about the soul’s need for daily food from the Truth of Scripture.
And how to come before Him with mind and heart open to His Word.
He is the God who reveals. And draws people to Himself.
At the school where our children study in Singapore, a woman sees the invitation for mothers to gather and pray.
So, she comes. Curious. Seeking.
I speak her heart language. So we meet later. And I explain the gospel.
In a subsequent meeting, she repents and believes.
In memory of Glenn Ingouf, my mother.
On November 10, 2024, she passed through death into unimaginable joy and immeasurable peace. She rests now in the presence of her Savior, Lord, and King.
These are some personal thoughts I posted on January 23, 2022, when she celebrated her 90th birthday. I’ve added some recent updates.
She was one of the strongest, most determined women I’ve ever known. And funny. A devoted follower of Christ. And gifted teacher. Wife, mom, grandmother (Nani), and, just this year, great-grandmother.
Countless are the ways her life impacted mine. Every time I try to put it down on paper, I fall short of words.
Give thanks to the Lord with me. Hers was a life well-lived for His glory.
