When I need a break from reading heavy material, I read a Christian Hero biography series. I can read one in a few hours and fulfill my monthly book read.<\/p>\n
I have not heard of Ida Scudder. I think I will highlight her in mission sharing with the church children one day. She served as a missionary doctor in India as a single woman from 1900-1960!<\/p>\n
Ida was born to a missionary family of doctors, and pioneered training women as nurses and doctors in India. She was born in India and died in India.<\/p>\n
I’m glad to lived a long life – died just a few months before her 90th birthday. She was healthy until the day she died. That’s a good way to go.<\/p>\n
Biographies of Christian heroes inspire me to live boldly. Ida hiked the Himalayas in her 60’s, went back and forth from India to US when travel was slow (2-3 months on a ship) and dangerous. She lived through two World Wars. People in those days have grit.<\/p>\n
I am not a bold person.\u00a0I am too soft and too used to comfort. I blame that on my mom who used to tell me, when I was in elementary school, not to go to school when it was raining or when it was cold.<\/p>\n
I thank God for raising up people like Ida who inspires to do just a bit more.<\/p>\n
