Genevieve Parkhurst takes the Old Testament question “What is that in your hand?” and turns it into a call to consecrate everyday work, whether cooking, welding, typing, or raising a family, as service to God. She points to her own granddaughter running a household while still in high school, and to a young missionary who once grilled hamburgers on a scavenged metal sign. No task done in love, she argues at the 1964 Minnesota Koronis CFO, is too small to be full time Christian service.
