Ladies,
To each and every one of you, I want to say: thank you for the countless sacrifices you have joyfully made this past year for the sake of the gospel, in the service of your husband and children, and on behalf of the church. Though your role is not as public as your husband's, your service is no less strategic and influential for the advance of the gospel and the building of the church.
"For what thanksgiving can we return to God for you, for all the joy that we feel for your sake before our God...?" 1 Thessalonians 3:9
I hope you feel my gratefulness and, more importantly, the Lord's pleasure.
C.J.
