OUR TRAINING AS DOMESTIC & PUBLIC SERVANTS. THIS IMAGE EVOKES LONG-HELD MEMORIES WHEN I WAS 3 & THE ELDEST CHILD AT HOME. "SISTA KENNY" OFTEN ASKED ME TO HELP FOLD MOUNDS OF CLEAN SHEETS FROM 36 BEDS. SHE ALSO TRAINED ME IN EVERY STEP REQUIRED TO CHANGE BABY MICHAEL'S NAPPY, MIX HIS FAREX, FEED HIM, WARM HIS BOTTLE, NURSE HIM AS HE DRANK, BURP HIM & WATCH OVER HIM AS SHE LOOKED AFTER THE YOUNGER BABIES. SISTER MAVIS KENNEDY WAS THE FINEST CHRISTIAN I'VE EVER KNOWN; THE LIGHT OF MY LIFE & GREATEST TEACHER OF MY FORMATIVE YEARS WHO USED WORDS "EFFECTIVELY". SHE ALWAYS SPOKE WITH RESPECT & COURTESY; NEVER TALKED DOWN TO ME NOR SPOKE BABY TALK & COMMANDED MY RESPECT BY TREATING ME AS THOUGH I WAS A CAPABLE, INTELLIGENT & TRUSTWORTHY YOUNG ASSISTANT. ONCE OR TWICE SHE REWARDED ME WITH A TINY SUGAR CONE ON A STICK, BUT THE WARM GLOW OF HER APPRECIATION & SATISFACTION IN A JOB WELL DONE WAS MY GREATEST REWARD. HER HUMILITY, HONESTY & GENTLE WAYS LEFT AN INDELIBLE IMPRINT ON MY HEART & SOUL.
