Sometimes the Bible reads like today's newspaper! I had chosen to read 1 Thessalonians a week or so ago. I finished up reading the five chapter book yesterday.

We were having our annual church meeting on Sunday. And this is what I read;

"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."

~ ` 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 practical ways."

**

Dear Father in Heaven,
thank You for people in my life,
our lives, who are willing to take leadership roles
of all kinds.
Help us to remember to tell them thank you 
for their time when making some decisions,
sometimes those which are difficult.
Help me, help us, to be less critical
and more thankful.
In Jesus' Name.
Amen.
