Sustain

I received a letter recently from parishioners with whom I served at a church some years ago. It is a personal letter warmly recalling my time and my work with their congregation. This gives me pause. It is not every day that I learn of some good that I have done. I need to hear these words to sustain me on the road ahead. I will reply with my sincere thanks for the letter that was sent to me … and I am moved now to write such letters to others who traveled with me as I stumbled along the way.
