She has never quit..
Receiving and giving education.
Comforting the afflicted
Afflicting the comfortable
She follows a couple of teachers who said the religious people should also at times interrupt their religious rituals to go and reconcile with people they had hurt.
And do justice instead of add another religious service of the pretension of love for the poor.

My comforter. My buddy. The mother of my grandsons.
1 Corinthians 13

The Excellence of Love

13 If I speak with the tongues of mankind and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 And if I give away all my possessions to charity, and if I surrender my body so that I may [a]glory, but do not have love, it does me no good.

4 Love is patient, love is kind, it is not jealous; love does not brag, it is not arrogant. 5 It does not act disgracefully, it does not seek its own benefit; it is not provoked, does not keep an account of a wrong suffered, 6 it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7 it [b]keeps every confidence, it believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love never fails; but if there are gifts of [c]prophecy, they will be done away with; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away with. 9 For we know in part and prophesy in part; 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away with. 11 When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I [d]became a man, I did away with childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror [e]dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I also have been fully known. 13 But now faith, hope, and love remain, these three; but the [f]greatest of these is love.

6.10- The Power of Keeping a Confidence

-
 6.10- The Power of Keeping a Confidence I have a close friend who started listening to my confidential words 46 years ago. He guards his lips and preserves secrets and deep friendship. He does not speak rashly. He doesn't add shame to the bad things l have experienced. He reduces my burdens by his grace. He has good judgement regarding when to speak and when to remain silent. This gives him good long term friends and deep joy. Proverbs 13 3  A wise son  accepts his  father’s discipline, But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke. 2  From the fruit of a person’s mouth he  [ a ] enjoys good, But the  [ b ] desire of the treacherous is violence. 3  One who guards his mouth protects his life; One who opens wide his lips  [ c ] comes to ruin. 4  The soul of the  [ d ] lazy one craves and  gets  nothing, But the soul of the diligent is made  [ e ] prosperous. 5  A righteous person hates a false statement, But a wicked person  [ f ] acts disgustingly and shamefully. 6  Righteousness guards

 8.16- Confidence is a good thing. A well trained Olympic athlete is very confident. They train four years or longer for this moment on beam and fall down the beam or fall of the beam. They fly off and miss the uneven bars. Knowing they cannot win a medal. They have messed up and gone off the horse. What do they do? They get back on the horse. They finish their routine with a confident smile. They do not let that failure define them. Our life is not marked by a failure unless we allow it to be. The choice is ours. Bad day at work yesterday. Make today that much better. 2 Corinthians 4 7  But we have this treasure in  [ e ] earthen containers, so that the extraordinary  greatness  of the power will be of God and not from ourselves;   8  we are  afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;   9  persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed;   10  always carrying around in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be reve

 8.13- If we want to be a helpers of people who are lost, confused and living in chaos it is critical to balance our lives. We need to separate from people who are overly afraid. We need much time with people who are not confused and who remind us to not be afraid. We also need time away from all people to rest and refuel in the countryside, gardens, beaches, lakes, mountains and places of restful sleep. At the right time we will have mental, emotional, physical and especially spiritual energy to lead people to settle down, chunk problems down to size and overcome. Then we can pray for wisdom and give thanks for being a part of the positive change from confusion and lack to peace order and abundant provision. Matthew 6. 33  The people  saw them going, and many recognized  them  and ran there together on foot from all the cities, and got there ahead of them.   34  When Jesus went  [ p ] ashore, He saw a large crowd, and He felt compassion for them because they were like sheep without a
