Faith, hope and love

Upon retirement from decades of Christian ministry work I was given an “inukshuk carving” – an image in the likeness of a human.  You may have seen some of these creations.  Most notable are rock formations that are highlighted in sparse surroundings. 

The accompanying plaque referenced I Thessalonians 1:3.  Indeed (and truly this speaks of doing, not just being human) these are aspirational goals I have had over the years.  In humility, my hope is that I have been able to truly live up to these standards.

Your work produced by faith

Your labour prompted by love

You endurance inspired by hope

in our Lord Jesus Christ
