A chapter of one form of ministry closed. Mariam grieved, saying to the Rabbi, "But you called me to that ministry."

Rabbi Jesus answered, "I called you to that ministry, but not in perpetuity."

Don't get stuck in the past to the detriment of the future. All life is change; as do tasks which the Master places before us. Do not let misty-eyed remembrances of past glories (which were not trouble-free, if truth be told), hamper you from grasping the nettles of the present, and the promise of the future.

Ministry is an ever-changing spectrum. Within yourself, you have the answers to those changes: let Christ help you find them.
