The Tradition Continues!

It is a GCC India team tradition upon arrival into Chennai to have one team member pose by the “welcoming mural” next to Customs. Our very own Elaine Bader did the honor for this team, and is shown here “Vanna White” style next to the image. Upon asking, Elaine said that the mural reminded her of her own family. First, there are four horses, which represent her four children. Second, there is Elaine holding the reigns of those four children in a state of watchfulness and guidance and direction. Finally, there is Don (her husband) in the cart behind bowing in obsequious obedience and homage to Elaine’s whim and will. There’s even their dog “Jazzie”, portrayed as the lone white bird above the carriage holding the heraldric symbol of the family! But whatever the particular interpretation, the mural does pose an interesting statement: “Perform thy duty, and lay no claim to its fruits“. It is precisely that purpose for which we have come to India. We seek to serve and do our duty, and will pleased if Christ alone receives glory for it!
