I am not complaining but if I could take complaining saints with me for one month they would shut their mouths forever(maybe  ). In one day I have been to as many as 4 hospitals hours apart, counseled 2 young couple with maritial problem, encouraged a discouraged saint, done church business, and yes tried to get in a prayer session and study time to feed the saints. Supper was cold, wife was a little annoyed and I was worn out, put myself to bed only to be awakened in the dead of night to pray for someone with a bad cold. That is more normal than not. Again that is my calling so I am NOT complaining but most church members do not have s clue. I would like to be able to make some go with me just a month I wonder if they would last an entire week I doubt it. Most guys and gals have 8 hour shifts and go home and enjoy their families.
When you guys go to the Doctor do you demand to see his earnings? |
Maybe if the churches were taught to be a body ministering one to another all this stuff wouldnt happen as much.
