Today was Pastor's last Sunday with us.......such a sad day for our church. To sing was one of the most difficult things I have had to do in a long time. I still am struggling with all the why's and how comes. Why does he have to go? Why can people not forgive? Why do others get away with such a judgemental attitude? How come so many have to hurt?
Please, God, send us a pastor that will help us heal...that will be more than what we have lost. Right now, I don't see how anyone can be better than what we had, but You know what is best for us. This will still take a long time to get over, to heal, to forgive those who can not forgive themselves....kind of sounds like the pot calling the kettle black, I guess.
I am learning to forgive, as I know that is what You would want....what Pastor would want....what a true christian needs to do....
Help me keep my eyes on You. To not give up....quit....that is so tempting. Sometimes I just want to go somewhere else so I don't have to see when they are not there anymore.
Please bear with me, Father, as I heal. Help me to not be like those who are judgemental and unforgiving. I love you so much. Please take care of Pastor Tom Johnson and his family as they undertake new and scary things....things they were not ready for at this time. I love them so.
