“Jesus never walked far from the place of His birth. This great adventure that God calls us on does not require us to jet across the planet. Sometimes our greatest quests are within walking distance of our front doors.”
(The Last Arrow by Erwin McManus)

Here are some great ideas for how to appreciate your pastor:

Here are 30 ways you can show your pastor encouragement, but don't be shy to express the love to everyone who is working at your church.

"We are not to make less prominent the special truths that have separated us from the world, and made us what we are; for they are fraught with eternal interests. God has given us light in regard to the things that are now taking place, and with pen and voice we are to proclaim the truth to the world.
But it is the life of Christ in the soul, it is the active principle of love imparted by the Holy Spirit, that alone will make our words fruitful. The love of Christ is the force and power of every message for God that ever fell from human lips."
(Gospel Workers, p. 288)

Happy Sabbath!

“Then he said to them, ‘This is what the Lord commanded: ‘Tomorrow is to be a day of sabbath rest, a holy sabbath to the Lord. So bake what you want to bake and boil what you want to boil. Save whatever is left and keep it until morning.’” - Exodus 16:23 NIV

As we welcome the Sabbath, let us reflect on God's providence and care. Just as He provided manna for the Israelites, He ensured our needs were met. This Sabbath, let's focus on spiritual renewal and trust in His continued blessings. Prepare your heart to rest and rejuvenate in His presence, embracing the peace from observing this holy day.

“Acudan las madres a Jesús con sus perplejidades. Hallarán gracia suficiente para ayudarles en la dirección de sus hijos. Las puertas están abiertas para toda madre que quiera poner sus cargas a los pies del Salvador. El que dijo: 'Dejad los niños venir a mí, y no los impidáis,' sigue invitando a las madres a conducir a sus pequeñuelos para que sean bendecidos por él. Aun el lactante en los brazos de su madre, puede morar bajo la sombra del Todopoderoso por la fe de su madre que ora... Si queremos vivir en comunión con Dios, nosotros también podemos esperar que el Espíritu divino amoldará a nuestros pequeñuelos, aun desde los primeros momentos.” (DTG, 473)
“Jesús conoce la preocupación del corazón de cada madre. El que tuvo una madre que luchó con la pobreza y la privación, simpatiza con cada madre en sus trabajos. El que hizo un largo viaje para aliviar el ansioso corazón de una mujer cananea, hará otro tanto por las madres de hoy. El que devolvió a la viuda de Naín su único hijo, y en su agonía sobre la cruz se acordó de su propia madre, se conmueve hoy por la tristeza de una madre. En todo pesar y en toda necesidad, dará consuelo y ayuda.” (DTG, 473)

"Jesus knows the burden of every mother's heart. He who had a mother that struggled with poverty and privation sympathizes with every mother in her labors. He who made a long journey in order to relieve the anxious heart of a Canaanite woman will do as much for the mothers of today. He who gave back to the widow of Nain her only son, and who in His agony upon the cross remembered His own mother, is touched today by the mother's sorrow. In every grief and every need He will give comfort and help.
Let mothers come to Jesus with their perplexities. They will find grace sufficient to aid them in the management of their children. The gates are open for every mother who would lay her burdens at the Saviour's feet. He who said, "Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not," still invites the mothers to lead up their little ones to be blessed by Him. Even the babe in its mother's arms may dwell as under the shadow of the Almighty through the faith of the praying mother. John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Spirit from his birth. If we will live in communion with God, we too may expect the divine Spirit to mold our little ones, even from their earliest moments."
(Desire of Ages, p.512)

"Rebellion was not to be overcome by force. Compelling power is found only under Satan's government. The Lord's principles are not of this order." (Desire of Ages p.759)

"Many people think that if they were only in some other place, or had some other job, they would be happy. Well, that is doubtful. So get as much happiness out of what you are doing as you can and don't put off being happy until some future date".
(Dale Carnegie)
