The prize

It is almost sixty years since, while still in my teens, I commenced pastoral work for The Salvation Army in Wales. Since then I have served in the Army in England, Scotland, Australia and Canada. Frankly, I have not made a lot of money and I didn't expect to do so. But I have had an immensely fulfilling life of service. It would be hard to imagine what could have been more satisfying. Like everyone else I must have made many mistakes but overall God has been good and I am grateful. The Duke of Edinburgh said, 'The only prize worth winning is a clear conscience at the end of your days that you have lives a ...useful life'. I say Amen to that.
