Much work was required to clear the house. A process, which had already consumed the better part of two months.The Miller family, was moving to a new home. Daughter Toni, would be starting secondary school soon. The new school, was located thirty two kilometers away and families, were given the option to board. Many accepted. Toni’s parents however, felt that moving house was in the best interest of the family.
” Okay, here it is!”, exclaimed Euline. Toni turned to look across the room at her mother, thinking out loud, she asked,
” What is it mother, what have you found?”. Euline, was unwrapping what looked like a brooch. One, Toni had never seen. Neither did she know anything about it. To her, it looked like an amazing piece of jewellery.
But as it is written, eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither has it entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him
1Corinthians 2:9
Euline, told her daughter Toni a fascinating story about her father, Toni’s grand dad. He was a wealthy land owner and the chairman of one of the county councils in Trinidad and Tobago, a member of the Commonwealth.
During a visit by members of the British Royal Family, insignias were distributed to worthy citizens, in recognition of their outstanding achievements and contributions to society.
Toni’s grand dad, was awarded the, ‘Officer of the Order of the British Empire’, ( OBE ). His service to the community endured for thirty six years.
Not with eyeservice, as men pleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart.
With good will doing service, as to The Lord, and not to men:
Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of The Lord, whether he be bond or free.
Ephesians 6:7-8
My Grand dad’s medal was entrusted to my mother. Who, was very proud of her father and his achievements. She cherished the medal.To her it was priceless.
God’s Grace Through Achievement in Jesus is, A Crown of Life.
