Kindred Spirits- A Century Apart

I love to read.  

Books.  

Mostly biographies and journals.  

I am not typically a journal writer myself. 

 Yet, if given the option 

between a journal and/or a collection of letters

 or the latest fiction, 

I will choose the journal and letters every time. 

What's My Assignment?

Several years ago, my husband sent an email to me about a woman who told the Lord that she would do anything and go anywhere that He wanted. 

Of course, she was thinking about being a missionary to the other side of the world or making huge sacrifices in some other significant way of service.
 The Lord told her that He wanted her to be in charge of a group of people , none of whom the world thought very important, and that she would not get paid or noticed. She eagerly agreed and wondered where He was sending her. He told her it was where she was already. At home. 

Her "people group" was her children. 
She was disappointed.
