Hi all: I hope you're well. I was golfing with a friend of mine and we were discussing our pastor's upcoming retirement dinner. I mentioned to my friend that we were going in spite of the fact our pastor and I had our differences. In fact, another friend asked me to forgive our pastor recently.
What I told my friend who I golfed with yesterday is this. I told him we need to be there for others. I believe we are put on this earth to be there for others. My other friend probably didn't realize that I had forgiven our pastor many moons ago.
The bottom line is this. We are attending the retirement dinner to celebrate a man who gave selflessly to his church community for over 30 years (nine with us). I don't know about you but I think pastoring is one of the more difficult jobs out there. Sometimes I'm sure it makes my job look like a piece of cake!
Whether it's attending someone's retirement dinner, visiting a friend who is ill, etc. etc. I encourage all of you to be thinking every day about how you can Pay It Forward. Have an incredible day!
