When flicking through this new(ish) publication I noticed how Jonathan Edwards wrote about his wife and the impact that her spiritual life had on her daily walk…

Instead of neglecting the business of life, she performed it with greater alacrity as a part of her service to God, declaring that when it was thus done, it was as delightful as prayer itself. At the same time, she discovered an extreme anxiety to avoid every sin, and to discharge every moral obligation, was most exemplary in the performance of every social and relative duty, exhibited great inoffensiveness of life and conversation, great meekness, gentleness, and benevolence of spirit, and avoided, with remarkable conscientiousness, all those things which she regarded as failings in her own character.

What a character to try to emulate!
