Hi, Pastor John.
Brad and I read a “Thought for the Morning” today titled, “Even If Everyone Goes Away”, Part 2. In it, Sister Sue explained what you said in a Saturday night meeting, that you loved God more than you loved your flock. She said that you told the story of a pastor’s wife who told her children that she loved their father more than she loved them, and that knowledge made her children feel more loved and protected.
I wholeheartedly feel that love and protection in knowing that my husband loves Jesus more than me and that my pastor does too! It puts everything in right order and lets me know that the two most important men in my life have their priorities straight, so I can trust, respect and feel protected by them!
