LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

One life at a time

Thank you for reminding us to get involved in people's lives and to build relationships that will last into eternity ("No Little People III," Dec. 14/21). Isn't it exciting to dream of what our country will look like if all Christians put this into practice and each of us reaches one person? - Jenny Forner, Allendale, Mich.

Where are the women?

Your article "No Little People III" was missing an important component of "Little People" and that is "Little Women." Surely our Lord uses women as vessels of his work as well. Where are they this year? - Shelley Sharpe, Novelty, Ohio

God-given responsibilities

"Diminished returns" (Nov. 23), about three missing missionaries and their hopeful families, caused me to wonder about certain things that are part of a missionary's life. When Jesus said to "count the cost" (Luke 14:26-33), I think he meant more than what people usually get out of it. When one goes to the mission field and leaves a family without a husband and father, he is neglecting one God-given responsibility to take on another. We need to realize that when you serve your family, friends, and neighbors, you are serving the Lord. - Gene Anderson, Muskegon, Mich.
