...not to mention that Mrs. Pastor is not the Bionic Woman.
Have you noticed that people treat Pastors and Mrs. Pastor as superhuman?
I can't help but wonder if it's because of the way some of us "carry" ourselves.
Now I know that walking and working with God helps us all live supernaturally... all because our Super God works with, through and for us. However, we must be careful and never pretend that we are infallible or without human challenges.
At the risk of talking from 2 sides of my mouth, in showing our humanity and humility, we must not host any pity parties or manipulate others to "bless us."
The bottom line is that Pastor and Mrs. Pastor are everyday people too...
While it is important for those around us to realize that and hopefully "care" for and support us as much as they expect to be cared for/supported, it is more important for Pastor and Mrs. Pastor to remember (& appreciate) that too.
BTW, I gather that the 2nd Sunday in October is "Clergy Appreciation Day." Take a moment to appreciate the pastors around you and don't forget to give your husband a SPA.* Wishing you a wonderful day on Sunday and beyond...
