Each
year my spouse Phyllis and I lead a canoe trip. I just got back
after a week in the wilderness. While being gone I discovered how
much I enjoy being a pastor. Yes, there are trying moments and some
snags that can cause one to lose sleep but for me it is a way of life
that has been and continues to be a great journey. Really the people
in the church are wonderful individuals and have always shown me love
even when I have been less than loving. My ‘work’ schedule has
allowed many moments of joy. I have been very privileged to view the
world from many perspectives.
I
am not even sure why I am writing these words. I guess it is because
the older I get the more I am aware that all of life is a gift even
our work. So, today I am going to start getting caught up on my work
but I am also going to thank God for being able to have a task to do.
I read somewhere (I cannot remember where) get your enjoyment out of
your work. I am going to strive to follow that advice.
