Pastoral reflections. How apropos are the words that are found in Galatians 6:10 when I consider the caring, the goodness, the love of God, that is found in the hearts of the dear members of Friendship: “As we have, therefore, opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.” There is a caring a goodness, a loving spirit, that has been shown to this pastor that is absolutely indescribable; words cannot describe the vastness of the outpouring of the love of the people of Friendship. And for all that you do for this pastor, how we thank God for you, and we appreciate all that you do to bless us. However, I must tell you that the pastor and his family are not the only recipients of your grace. As the people of God, you truly do good to “all men.” You have been, and continue to be, a tremendous blessing. In the community, and in the church, your generosity is a continuing testimony to the faithfulness of God. Thank you for being a caring people. The Lord bless you as you continue to be a blessing. As one of the “household of faith,” thanks for having the “heart of God.”
