You bridged then and now very well. It was saturated with hope. Your style of connecting their life experiences with those of many folks today is great. It seemed like the golden thread of God’s hand was woven all through it. I did sense a brief shift in the paragraph “…Life dealt them a blow…” I realize that we use that as a phrase to describe something bad happens to people. I sure have. But I don’t see life as an entity dealing blows to me. I think it’s fair to say something like, “It seems like life…”. To me the word “seems” would convey appearance, versus the reality of God working through and in spite of it. You lay this out beautifully a few sentences later. Well done
