Quiet Life

[Bob Wille (Family)]

“Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands,
just as we told you,
so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders
and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.”
1 Thessalonians 4:11-12

The world is moved along, not only
by the mighty shoves of its heroes,
but also by the aggregate of tiny pushes
of each honest worker.
- Helen Keller
Naturally, God Speaks

Hello Bob;

I'm curious. What translation did you use? Thanks!

I was just thinking of this verse earlier during the week. I notice how God does this constantly.

We still reach out to others anyway we can to help and minister to them. But our personal life is becoming more quiet and we enjoy tending to our personal matters, which does matter. lol!

I was feeling guilty about this transition, at first, since I was used to being "out there" daily in the mix of everyone's business. But in the last 6 months I began to feel the weariness melting off me, giving way for younger and other servants to step up in the church.

God bless you, Bob, and your family.
