Untitled

After experiencing a very troubling day, I finally have time to reflect on it. One thing about being a PK is that you always get the inside scoop on everything and anything. That may not be the case for every PK but since the job of being a pastor is so tough it kinda leeks out to the family. We hold the burdens of the pastor in our heart because we see and know first hand what he goes thru. Not only that but being in a leadership position also it has given us the ability to empathize with our pastor too in a sense. What I want to say is that it is the hardest thing to be a PK and to see our parents going thru some of the toughtest times out of everyone in the congregation. It seems to be like everyone believes that God can take a backseat on their priority list. Jobs, fun, friends, etc all come before God. And to someone whose life is only about God, whose occupation focuses entriely on God and basically has no other options (this isn't universal to all pastors) is the hardest thing a child can watch. I know we all feel for our parents but some of what they experience from people just isn't fair. Anyways, apart from that there some pastors who have the good life! Great congregants, cooperating staff, etc etc etc! Although the Bible says Do Not Covet, its hard not looking and wishing that you could be in that positon also. I just see too much, blood, sweat, and tears come out of the same person for too long to not be at a place of success. Anyhow! I know that God will make a way and deliverance will come. So many things are harbored up inside the man who is suppose, and so much is expected that not many people ask this man if he needs something to drink. I feel like I can go on and on about this topic but it never ceases the fact that sometimes things aint fair, and bad things always happen to good people. Pray for the First family...(whoever I'm speaking to out there)
