Most of you know that October is Pastor Appreciation Month. Our family was blessed to be officially “appreciated” last night. The folks got together a “card shower” with some very nice, thoughtful cards and gifts, and we met after the evening service for some refreshments.
A few of the folks got up and shared some glowing remarks about me and our family (almost made me think they were talking about someone else!). While I genuinely do appreciate the thoughts, I always feel a bit awkward at moments like this. (Humble Pie, anyone?) And yet when it comes to my family, I couldn’t agree more about how great they are!
I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful family and a wonderful church family. God’s grace is overwhelming as always. So, to my family…Thanks for being the blessing you are. And to our church family…Thanks for being a blessing as well, and thanks for taking time to say “Thanks.”
