Then there are THESE Days...

We all know those long, tired days when we are so spend and wrung out that we think about quitting. When the words come slow and it seems the Sunday’s come every 4 days instead of every 7.  But the truth is some of us are not discouraged, frustrated, angry, ready to throw in the towel.  We all know the Sundays when we are thankful we get to preach. When we are optimistic, feel blessed and excited about the future and feel loved by God and His People.  We all know those days when we feel we did make a difference in some people’s eternities, we did give some people “heart” to go forward in His Service.  As true as it is that there are those Monday’s most any church could hire you - there is that Monday when everything clicked on Sunday. The words from the Word fell in place, the crowd was good, the comments were kind, the complaints were few and the Christ was held high.  On those days you can’t wait till next Sunday - you are exhausted but energized, preached out but perked up, spent but soaring!  You feel blessed to do what you do and to be paid for it.  If that was not your day yesterday, I pray it will be soon. It that was your Sunday I pray you’ll have a string of them and that you will rest in the blessings of the Lord.  For all of us I pray those days will come more often than the days you wish you could throw in the towel.  May your week be blessed in the knowledge that as you preached God’s Word yesterday - even if the audience didn’t - God did…smile.  So, rejoice this week!
