My Father's Work

"...I must be about my Father's [work]."    - Luke 2:4

          As a child, this phrase from Luke struck me as important and I took it to heart.  Early on, my father Ted taught me the value of hard work.  I was required to help build a fence and a barn if I ever wanted to have a pony.  As I grew up, my love for animals led me to the work of a career in veterinary medicine.  I have always felt that whatever my occupation, it should be what my Father intended for me to do.  Today, I feel led to work as an artist.  The image of a shepherd girl embodied the idea that a girl could do a man's work with a brave and kind heart.  I can only hope to do as much each day.
