How is {my ministry} defined?

I still remember the day I read Luke 1:6
with eyes illumined by the instruction of the Holy Spirit:

One verse. 20 words. The summation of a long life lived for the Lord.  This was the pronouncement of the Holy Spirit; the “well done, good and faithful servants”, spoken of two people who had gone unnoticed for years, but who had nontheless served their God faithfully,

in the shelter of secret places – 

of heart and home, 

of minds and souls.  

I remember thinking to myself, “I would be thrilled for that one sentence to be said of me!”
