I have decided to take some time every week and thank people who have touched me recently (as part of my New Year's Resolution, take 1). I got this idea from a childhood friend of mine who works for the United Methodist Men organization in Nashville, Miss Bari Watson. So Bari, kudos to you girlfriend!
Now, I don't want to step on toes, because I tend to do that a lot. I have a lot of special people in my life. My husband, kids, extended family, and closest friends. I hope you guys, at least, already know how much I love and appreciate you! I'm talking about the day to day happenings and the people whose kindness may not have even been noticed by themselves! So don't get all offended if I don't mention you right away, and no, there is no special "order" of friends :)
So, this week's special lady has been on my mind a lot as I take time to reflect on being a Pastor's Wife (hereafter referred to as PW). Being a PW, and in fact a PK, is a hard and sometimes lonely endeavor. When we moved to Helena, I was super excited to be moving back home, practically in my parent's back yard, and to have several long time friends who live so close. But as for the church family, I was a little nervous (I always am when we move to a new church, since I am by nature an introvert). Ms. Heather Simmons was the very first person to invite Bill and me out to lunch, her having young children as well. I know McDonald's isn't glamorous, but to me it was as much joy as going to the most expensive restaurant because it was enjoyed with a new, welcoming friend. So, Heather, I just wanted to officially say thanks for being the sweet person you are! Blessings heaped upon you (and bring on the Girl Scout Cookies!)
