I am a pastor

Every day, I get to read the Bible and study about God.

I get to spend time in prayer talking to Him.

I get to rejoice with people when they have victories.

I get to help lift them up when they have suffered defeat.

I watch people grow in the grace and knowledge of God.

I watch Him use them and their lives to bless others and bring honor to Him.

I am able to love people.

I get to pray with people and help them ask God to meet their needs.

I get to hear the reports of how He answers.

I get to see people put their faith in Jesus for forgiveness.

I preach the funerals of their loved ones who have gone to Heaven.

I get to see the smiles that are moistened with tears.

I get to get up and preach the goodness of God and the requirements He makes of us.

I get to serve with my wife and children.

I am privileged to have my extended family as a part of our church.

I have spent my life serving with people I love very much in several different states and churches.

I have been able to have fun doing what it is I do.

I enjoy the challenge that encompasses working with people.

I enjoy the struggle of never having enough money, laborers and resources.

Every single day, I get to wake up and know that the things I do matter.
