One of the best parts of being a pastor is having a front row seat as parents teach their children about the preaching of the Word of God. This morning my friend, Jaxen (the blond little boy pictured below with his older brother) , gave me an illustrated note to tell me that he is grateful for my preaching of the Holy Word.
There is so much about the note that I appreciate:
- Jaxson is thankful for his pastor and recognizes that pastors are a gift from God (Ephesians 4:11-13).
- Jaxson has a high view of the word of God. He refers to the Bible as God’s “holy” Word.
- Jaxson knows that it is important to take the time to thank people.
- Jaxon (see illustration) thinks I am skinny.
Thank God for Christian homes.
Yes – – we know the traditional spelling of “grateful” at the Red Brick Church. We just prefer “greatful” to communicate the extent of our gratitude.
Put that one in your treasure box. 🙂
