A little bit of everything . . .

One of the interesting things of being a pastor, is that at any given moment you will be close to-
. . A couple in the middle of a nasty divorce
. . . A couple getting ready to be married
. . . A family with a loved one on their deathbed
. . . A family celebrating the birth of a child
. . . The family celebrating a promotion
. . . The family just laid off
. . . And on and on.
Makes me think of the verse in Ecclesiastes "to everything there is a season". 
I guess God has just reminded me today that regardless of the season in my personal life, He calls me to be open and available to those around me.   It could be to mourn with those who mourn our rejoice with those who rejoice. 
What about you?
