A Special Day for a Special Man

I am married to one of the most thoughtful, kind, generous, long-suffering and loving men on this earth.  He has been a pastor for 23 years and I have watched him grow and grow and grow.  During his ministry he has given without expecting to receive.  He has sacrificed numerous times, simply to see the doors of ministry stay open.  He has loved and turned the other cheek, only to be laughed at.  He has trained and equipped others to see them use that knowledge in competition against him.  I have watched him endure false accusations, lies, and jealous attacks, only to never hear the words–”I’m sorry”.  I have often asked him, “How can you do that?  How can you forgive and forget like that?  How can you go on and not curse that person?”  I don’t claim to be the holiest of people—only human.  And even today, my wonderful husband continues to amaze me with his sensitivity, concern for others, and tenacity for the things of God.  His motives have always been pure and his desires only those of the utmost integrity.  I can’t help but love this man with all of my heart and for that reason, I wish to give him the best Pastors Appreciation Day he’s ever had.  You see, he has been my Pastor for 23 years, and I want him to feel very appreciated and loved—at least on this day.  I love him every day, but sometimes because of the cares of life, I get busy and forget to stop and say “I love you babe!”  I would like for those of you who know my wonderful husband, as your Pastor or friend, to help me show him how he has affected your life.  If your life has ever been touched by him in some way, shape or fashion, then join with me on this day to let him know exactly how much he means to you.  July 13th, has been set aside as Pastor Appreciation Day at Eagles Nest Fellowship to show our awesome pastor, my one and only true love, that he is the best and we love him very, very much.  If you want to email him, feel free to send your thanks to drmullins@eaglesnestfellowship.com.  Or you can post here on my blog, and I will make sure he gets the ‘thanks’.  Help me celebrate “The Fruits of His Ministry”.  If you have any ideas or thoughts, please send them my way.  Thanks.
