Today my Pastor Doug told the congregation he was taking a leave of absence due to a couple of issues one of which is exhaustion. Then he went on with a sermon on Most horrible awful day for Jesus from Matthew 14. Jesus started the day with news about John the Baptist being beheaded. Doug explained the progression of the day and how even Jesus need some time of quiet with God.
Hmm sound like the year of 2020 is a most horrible awful year. We have had a pandemic, riots and been quarantined. Many people losing their jobs. Many people isolated with no contacts other than through technology. I recipe for a horrible awful year.
The good thing is that the ads and news started to talk about our heroes, the doctors, nurses, first responders and truck drivers. . but….
Minister, pastors, and all those who serve the church communities are also heroes. They are not in the front working, they are on their knees praying, on the phones praying, standing in the parking lots praying. They organize the community to provide food, masks and other serves. These heroes are just as exhausted as the other heroes. They get calls all night and all day for prayers and comfort.
So I ask that we all take the time to pray for the spiritual heroes the pastors, ministers, priest and others. Feed them as they have fed us during this time of confusion. Love them as they have loved us. Serve them as they have served us.
