Faithfulness

This is a seven-year-old re-post. I wrote this long before I could imagine that E. (on the left) would ever become my wife. I wrote: "I’d like to introduce E. today -- the young woman on the left of the photo. E. is a child-minder and domestic worker. She was raised on a farm, in poverty. She is a marvellous example of faithfulness and steadfastness. Over the years, this has made her really precious to the Church. OBSERVATION: Would you like to do great things for the Lord? Usually, it begins with simple faithfulness and steadfastness. I seldom see it begin anywhere else. I think this is way underestimated by Christians today. (J., on the right of the photo, would deserve a special introduction, too, sometime)."
