So right! My credits included: being known for hospitality-could be counted on to feed the speaker at a moments notice plus the intinerant regular pioneers who would pop in at supper time every week, knowing they would be given a hot meal, helping elderly ones with housekeeping, meals, rides to the hall, providing food to pioneer and elder schools, meals to families because the mother just had a baby (this wasn't supplied for me, however, definitely a one way provision), sacrificing spouse every other weekend because of RBC work, hall cleaning, infirm to doctor visits, loaning money to 'needy' ones...hosting overnight Bethelites and RBC personnel...the list goes on.
Never being one who liked the field ministry I was a low hour publisher and not having a high-ranking elder in the family, I was routinely forgotten until someone needed something. Pity I can't get that back. Makes me feel used.
