Beth McNeal (a.k.a. “rev”, “beef”, “grade a”) visited us this past weekend (a week ago). It was sheer joy to be able to spend a weekend with Beth, whom the Lord has allowed Dusti and I (and Hershey) to invest our lives in throughout the years. As we talked and shared lives, it is clear that the Lord has shown himself glorious in and through Beth, and my heart has been refreshed by her visit. As Paul has stated to Timothy, I know that laboring in love is not in vain because of people like Beth. Thank you, Beth, for being an encouragement to me in your words, your kind courtesy laughs, listening ear, and Christ-like love. May the Lord continue to reveal himself to you as you behold him as the treasure of your life.
