 Ruby’s Scripture
Alphabet
love Miss.
I Ruby. Every-
one loves Miss
Ruby. Ruby
Rikard Wilcox is a remarkable, spe-
cial woman. She touches the heart
of every person she meets. Her love
for the Lord is so deep and she lives
her faith in a most humble way.
Ruby (‘37) and her sister Elizabeth
Rikard Sessions (‘43) are integral
members of the Praying Ladies; a
group of women who meet monthly
to pray for CIU. Their love for CIU,
for the faculty, staff and students
is evident in their daily lives. You
may recognize their maiden name
because of Rikard dining room, in
the CIU cafeteria, which is named
after their parents, Lewie and
Bertha Rikard.
Ruby met the love of her life, John,
while at CBC. Since they were not
allowed to announce their engage-
ment before graduation, the day
after John graduated from CBC, he
and Ruby got engaged and six days
later they were married. They had
48 wonderful years together, and
were able to serve in six different
pastorates. After John passed away,
Ruby’s love for serving others
never stopped. She has four
support groups that meet in
her home once a month.
She says, “They are young
women who are just seeking
to know the Lord’s will and
to follow Him and they’re
so responsive. I say to them,
‘I’m not in authority, but I’ve
had the experience and I love
to share it with you.’”
Ruby had been living alone, even at
the age of 93, until early March
when she had a mild stroke affect-
ing her ability to live independently.
I had the joy and privilege to visit
her since then and came away with
a deeper love for her and apprecia-
tion of how Scripture is so much a
part of her daily life. Even though
her body was weak, her spirit and
encouragement were strong.
She asked if I would pray for her
and I did; then she said she would
like to give me a benediction:
Hebrews 13:20-21
20
May the God of peace, who
through the blood of the eternal
covenant brought back from the
dead our Lord Jesus, that great
Shepherd of the sheep, 21equip
you with everything good for
doing his will, and may he work
in us what is pleasing to him,
through Jesus Christ, to whom
be glory forever and ever. Amen.
It brought tears to my eyes – how
precious Ruby’s spirit is, and how
encouraging just to be with her. She
told me how much she loves CIU.
She shared with me how when she
can’t sleep, she quotes the Scripture
alphabet. I asked her what she
meant. She said that she quotes a
verse for each letter of the alphabet
until she gets sleepy. She encour-
aged me to put the verses on a card,
and keep it handy on the visor of
my car so I could quote them every
day. We went through the list one
by one and it just amazed me how
sometimes with her eyes closed,
she’d quote the Scripture, and how
much peace it brought her.
She wanted to get well quickly so
she could return home again. She
was concerned about the group of
young ladies that she teaches and
mentors weekly and hoped she
could resume soon.
She thanked me so much for
coming. I came away so blessed
by Miss Ruby and I’m determined
to memorize Ruby’s Scripture
Alphabet, and I challenge you
to do the same. You’ll find your
copy attached to the center of
this edition of Upward.
