That's great!
That just about covers it, doesn't it! It's encouraging to know that God chooses ordinary, imperfect people and equips them to do His work!
Good reminder. Sometimes as I grow older I begin to think there is not much I can do (for the Lord) anymore. This post encourages me to get going and get doing; I have a lot to give yet.
