Would it be cheating to post part of an email we received today?  Sure hope now.  It arrived at a moment when we really needed it.  Life can be overwhelming at times.  We need each other.

[We] continue to hold you and Jim in the highest regard; we see you as spiritual giants, people who have obeyed God to the farthest reaches of their souls, and when you've given all you've got, God has said to you time and time again, "Give Me more."  Then you do, you serve beyond your limits and you are stretched beyond what you thought you could stand and then you see God's glory- I can see your radiant face through your emails- radiant because God is shining so much of Himself through your heart and fingertips (so much of your serving is ACTUAL hard work, laundry and repairs and mopping and such, all done for Jesus' people) and it's bouncing off of the people and circumstances around you and reflecting back to you and you pause in it, you soak it in.  It grows you and changes you, and the cycle begins again, often before you've had a chance to catch your breath from the last one.
