I am so glad your church blessed y'all with that gift! Those who are constantly pouring out to others need time to be refilled, refreshed and rejuvenated, too! <br /><br />Our sweet pastor, Cheryl Skinner, has been so gracious since she's arrived. She and her husband (who is also a pastor) are precious, precious people. If I win, I'll look forward to giving the card to her! <br /><br />Donna Earnhardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12751744053363961006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247745367503005076.post-35597493952034578092015-10-19T22:25:07.040-04:002015-10-19T22:25:07.040-04:00I have a Great Pastor..

If someone is sick or having surgery or in the hospital, he's always there.. One of the first things that I remember about my pastor, was when my now 17 year old was just months old, she was having to go to Asheville to a specialist... We thought that there was something wrong with her... I remember going into the doctor the first time with her, and when we walked in the door of the office, there sat our pastor..He did not really know us at all for He just started preaching at our church, but yet, he beat us there that day...He is always there for his church.. We love you pastor RickAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15224433545210916847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247745367503005076.post-1943457518150025372015-10-19T22:19:53.890-04:002015-10-19T22:19:53.890-04:00Thanks for sharing such a precious testimony.

His name is Robert Carnell. He was bivocational but eventually was led to leave his job and focus full time on the place God brought him which was to Floyd's Creek Baptist Church. He has a love for people...all people. He has a heart for the lost to bring them to Christ and to disciple them in the walk of faith. He is all about relationship with newly saved people, not just adding to numbers of the church but teaching people how to walk with Jesus, emphasizing the Bible and prayer and doing what the Lord says. And he also is a great Bible teacher...he makes things so clear and brings out things I have never thought of before. He believes that being a soul winner for Jesus is not just for pastors but for everyone who has been saved by the blood of Jesus Christ. He is teaching us how to share our story of how we met Jesus, how to share Jesus' story and how to share stories from the Bible. He teaches us how to study the Bible and search it for the meaning. He is not only an excellent preacher and teacher, but he is humble. He is real, genuine and I think that is why so many people love him. He is a man of action...he visits the sick, he is at the hospitals . He gives of his time to do things for people that even a close friend would be unlikely to do. We are blessed at Floyd's Creek Baptist Church to have Pastor Robert leading us.

This years was a pig-picking held last night. We each try to do something nice for the Parsonage family throughout the month. Some have planted flowers around their mailbox, some of the children painted pumpkins to decorate their porch, some bring them meals when they are having a particularly busy day, one man mowed the field at their retirement home. There are lots of non-traditional ways the honor your Pastor that are inexpensive yet meaningful.Cathy Biggerstaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02452262414188817271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247745367503005076.post-66264678548056252582015-10-19T00:37:41.673-04:002015-10-19T00:37:41.673-04:00Your husband sounds like a wonderful man.
