We happy, busy Calvinists are blessed beyond measure.
If we are not grateful, we have no excuse.
If we look at our blessings and think we have earned them
all we are blind to our privilege and the hard work of others.
If we look at all that people are making better in the
world, yet only complain about what is still not right, we are unjust.
If we look at all that is still not right in the world and
do not get to work, we miss our calling.
God gave us a good world.
God gave us a vocation to work for its betterment. God gave us the teaching that we cannot do
this without God.
We are the happiest people in America. We are the most trusting of people in
general. We are the most willing to
teach our children to be trusting before experience.
We are not driven by fear.
Be happy. Get busy.
Amen.

She is the best. And in Gilead and Home, she distinguishes the nuances between Presbyterians and Congregationalists.
