I'm thinking that preaching, et al. was your preparation for your present ministry. You and your family are so right for this ministry that just anybody can't (and won't) do. I've told you before that my husband is a local hospice chaplain after 30 + yrs in the pulpit. He is more fulfilled with his calling than ever. But, he is also touching more people with God's love and is blessing more people than he ever did as a preacher. Oh yes, he had captive audiences in his pulpit preaching, but his heart was always wanting to serve and to touch people in order for them to want to hear more about God. No, he doesn't preach to his 'audience' anymore. He loves them, to death, sometimes..haha..just couldn't resist. Ok, enough about him. Reading your experiences reminds me so much of his heart. You both finally have the 'freedom' to do what you feel you have been called to do! A luxury in today's world. So many of your constituents have to 'earn a living'. Yall get to do what you love to do and get paid to do it. Blessings to you and your family. Don't stop doing the good that you do.

It means so much to a family to have people like your family to be there for them and with them during this trying time. You all are filled with compassion. May God continue to bless you as you show His love in your ministry. I am so glad we are family. This is your mission.
