No, you have never won a Pulitzer Prize for literature. Yet you have given happy endings to thousands of stress-filled or otherwise unfulfilled days.
No, you have never preached a sermon in a great Conference Center or Tabernacle, but the little sermons and lessons you have taught with your wisdom and encouragement and example have kept many children and men and women on the right path and in hope.
Yes, you have worked with mediums of pencil and paint and bronze, but your greatest art and work has been with imperishable materials—the children of men, the greatest workmanship, also, of God.
