A MAN FOR ALL SEASON

A pastor's work is never done.
There's sermons to prepare.
There are calls to make
and folks to see in dire need of care.

He spends time with the leadsership
to shape the church's goals.
But he is just as comfortable
with ex-cons on parole.

He's at the bedside of the sick.
He's at his daughter's game.
He eulogizes those who've died.
he knows his flock by name.
He comforts widows in their grief.
he counsels single dads.
He hangs with kids to understand
their pressures, dreams and fads.

He mentors men who've lost their jobs.
He marries grooms and brides.
For those confused who need to talk,
in him they can confide.

He calms the staff when they are stressed.
He prays at Rotary.
He seeks out those he knows are new
in his community.

And yet in spite of all he does,
you won't hear him complain.
He's energized by all the ways
he serves in Jesus' Name.

AN Unsung Heroine

It's good we sing his praises.
Our pastor's really great.
But songs that voice our gratitude
should celebrate his wife.

She often goes unnoticed.
She serves behind the scenes
or quietly attends to those
who've lost sight of their dreams.

She spepnds most nights without him
while he's out making calls.
And in his steed she cares for kids
by playing trucks and dolls.

She comforts our dear pastor
when he''s prone to despair.
When he's sick in bed with fever,
it's she who gives him care.

When our shepherd's judged unfairly,
his wife is whom he needs.
She reminds him of his calling
as his heart breaks and bleeds.

She deserves some recognition.

Perhaps a little fame.
Please don't call her "Mrs. Pastor."

This person has a name.

"I thank my GOD upon every
remembrance of you."
Philippians 1:3~
