We are so thankful that our minister is more than willing to have a wonderful Christmas Eve service. It was the true blessing to a great holiday. Today we are under 6" of snow, which is very unusual for this part of NC, so no church today. At least we had the Eve service to enjoy.
Ministers and their families do have to make many adjustments to their lives in order to serve their congregations. We all too often don't appreciate all their families' contributions to the minister's calling. Thank you for your support.
Thank you for your kind words! My husband has been ordained for 26 years and our son for 4. It is a challenge especially for Easter and Christmas to get together with family but of course we wouldn't want it any other way. Now that our sons are grown and have families of their own and are not living nearby, we are considering having a "family holiday" once a year where we pick a not so busy time for all involved to try to get together. Hopefully we'll be doing it sometime this year after Easter. I hope this will become a wonderful family tradition.
