Pastor Appreciation Poem by: Anonymous You kneel with people at the worst time of their life – Giving them hope and sharing with them the Bread of Life. You stand with people at the best time of their lives – Sharing the sweetness life has for them. You walk with people through their everyday life – Encouraging, sharing, giving, bringing seasoning and flavor to the soul. Let this day serve as a reminder that while you walk, when you stand, as you kneel; His Word, the Bread of Life will give you strength; His Spirit gives sweetness to your days; and your life is seasoned by those who support you with their love & prayers.
