Appreciation for the opportunity
What a great gift I had yesterday. All day Sunday with my wife is a rare occasion. Sitting in church together, meals together and watching golf on a Sunday afternoon are significant times because they are so scarce on the calendar. And yet the Sunday out of the pulpit reminded me of how blessed I am to have the many invitations to preach.
As much as I enjoyed this weekend, it reminded me to thank those that make sure I don’t have too many weekends like it. You see, strange as it may seem, I am a bag of mixed emotions while sitting in the pew. When not preaching on Sunday, I am wishing I was. Therefore, thank you to so many of you that open your services and events to my ministry.
As a matter of fact, the last Sunday of this month was canceled recently and I am already dreading the ‘time off’. I may not be the best in the pulpit, but I am among the worst out of it.
