A Lot to be Thankful For
"She's not going to live . . . it's better you think of her as dead already." So Esther's mother was told when Esther was born in 1920, nearly two months prematurely. That she survived hinted at the resilient spirit inhabiting that fragile body.
From Depression-ravaged northern Minnesota to the colonization of Alaska's Matanuska Valley and, finally, to a homestead in rural Anchor Point, Alaska, Esther lived history. Though she considered herself an unremarkable person, the courage she showed as she met the challenges of life and her unshakeable faith in the goodness of God inspired those who knew and loved her. Esther's example has given us all a lot to be thankful for.
