Grace For The Experienced

For all the talk that takes place regarding pastoral burnout, hearing of long-standing ministry is worthy of celebration and piques the curiousity of how they did it.

Even when not in ministry, the effort, the experience, the energy that the experienced are able to exude when situations warrant...

There's a word for how they accomish what they do. Much determination and much more grace. How great it would be if we learned lifes lessons from the experienced rather than attempting to figure it out via our own experiences.

On this #seniorpastorMonday, pray for the long-standing ministries. May they experience new levels of energy and stamina for the next stage of their calling. May their legacy be revered, their lives worthy of being an example to the next generation. Pray for the experienced people and believers around...they have through incredible, challenging and very different times than what we face in 2015. May the generation gap be bridged, that lifes greatest lessons won't be lost because nobody sought to know, hear and learn from the experienced.
