Ruth Robison recounts being led to ask a bedridden friend in a nursing home what she could do for Ruth, rather than the reverse. Within a month visitors there were saying “we’ve come to tell you that we love you.” At the 1980 Virginia Shrine Mont CFO she also gives the prayer she prayed each morning for a year, to move that day in the current of divine love.
Ruth Robison tells how she and her husband Lee swapped written lists of the chores each one hated. Scrubbing his bathtub ring became holy once she did it “in remembrance of me.” She then works down her list of the marks of divine love, from courage to God’s care for details, in a talk to the 1980 Virginia Shrine Mont CFO.
Asked at the 1980 Virginia Shrine Mont CFO how she first came into CFO, Ruth Robison goes back to the warm egg her mother let her hold to her ear until it peeped. From it she learned to listen for the stirrings of life. She traces the rest of the road through her long illness, Agnes Sanford’s prayer, and Glenn Clark asking her, “Do you think it’s fair to judge a speaker by one talk?”
Ruth Robison walks the whole life of Jesus, from the manger to the risen Lord. She opens with a church Christmas pageant where the children said they would bring the baby cookies, a black lamb and wildflowers instead of gold. Knowing him, not just loving him, is what she presses on the campers at the 1980 Virginia Shrine Mont CFO.
A morning at the Virginia Shrine Mont CFO in 1980 goes to getting campers ready to receive at that evening’s healing service. Ruth Robison recalls a World Health Organization officer who told her the way to reach a million sick refugees is to “spread an epidemic of health.” She passes on the motto Frank Laubach gave her: “each one heal one.”
Ruth Robison hands each camper an imaginary basket, then walks them through the orchard of spiritual fruit that she has planted seed by seed over thirty years. Her evening talk at the Virginia Shrine Mont CFO in 1980 closes with a challenge to “plant big,” gathering fruit daily, eating your own, and tossing some to whoever needs it.
Al Durrance tells campers that people are shaped like clay, which takes its form only by resisting or yielding to God, never by staying indifferent to him. At the 1980 Virginia Shrine Mont CFO, he urges them to let God search their heart, soul, and mind through the week’s prayer groups, rhythms, and creatives.
