Thank you, Pastor.


Thank you, Pastor.                                       



Pastor Appreciation Month is coming to an end, but I appreciate my pastors all year through.

Dear Pastor, 


I can count on you

-      like a lamb counts on the shepherd.

-      like the daisies count on the rain.

-      like the sick counts on the doctor.

-      Like the calf counts on her mama.

-      Like the book counts on the reader.

-      Like the hungry counts on the farmer.

-      Like the tired counts on the rest.

-      Like the bird counts on the sky.

-      Like the student counts on the teacher.

-      Like the rocket counts on the fuel.

-      Like the tree counts on its roots.



Humm—I think I’m talking about Jesus. Pastor, you’re a lot like Jesus. 


Thank you.

  1. You are right, Connie, we should appreciate our pastors every day of the year. They give out of their lives without ceasing!

  2. Pastors, and Bible teachers, are often unrecognized. I like your suggestion that we think about them beyond Pastor Appreciation Month.

    1. They really are J.D., and they do not have an easy job.

  3. Connie, thank you for the reminder to pray for those who encourage and strengthen our walk with Jesus: pastors, missionaries, preachers, ministers, and those who volunteer in our churches.
