Food For Thought….

Pastors’ Wives:
It doesn’t matter how many Sundays you sit in
church or if you think you are saved. God sees Thank you for everything you do,

what you do and how you treat PEOPLE. For everyone you serve,
That’s what really matters. And most of all,
AMEN for Loving Jesus Well.

A pastor never get to say “I’m off duty”. Never gets to punch out at 5. Never gets to
have a normal schedule. We don’t know how many sleepless nights they spend on
their knees praying for their church. How much opposition they face. How many family
opportunities they miss to meet with hurting people. We can’t carry their burden for them but
we can do what the Bible tells to: Pray for them. Encourage them. Support them.
By blessing them we will only be blessed in return.
