(Looks like things went well yesterday! Here we go again; several things I have to do different know, so hang on......)

"Dear brothers,

honor the officers of your church who work hard among you

and warn you against all that is wrong.

Think highly of them and give them your wholehearted love,

because they are straining to help you.

And remember, no quarreling among yourselves."

~ I Thessalonians 5:12,13 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "Think of your pastor and other church leaders. How can you honor them? Express your appreciation; tell them how you have been helped by their leadership and teaching, and thank them for their ministry in your life. If you say nothing, how will they know where you stand? Remember, they need and deserve your support and love expressed in particular ways."

Thank You, God, for our church leaders. Forgive us when we are so fast to bring our troubles or criticisms to them; and not so fast to give them praise and appreciation. Help us! In Jesus' Name. Amen.
