This past Sunday my family and I were overwhelmed by the acts of love, appreciation and generosity displayed by our church family. Your kind, encouraging and affirming words, whether spoken in person or written in a card, were deeply felt and will be treasured for times to come.
Especially touching was your gift to our children. When a pastor's children are honored, the pastor and his wife are likewise honored. They have grown to anticipate Pastor Appreciation Day in much the same way they do Christmas!
Our vocabulary is deficient to adequately express the feelings in our hearts for the church family God has blessed us with. Scripture comes to mind. "I thank my God upon every remembrance of you," Phil 1:3 (KJV).
