Greeting Friends,
The church that my husband is pastor of remembered us for Pastor Appreciation Day.
Many churches do this yearly in the fall.
The board presented my husband with a monetary gift and the women of the church presented me this tray filled with wonderful treasures.
I'm highlighting one of the teacups and teapot. It was so sweet and thoughtful for the congregation to remember me!
They know me well... :) I'm so blessed by their love and kindness. It is a pleasure to work with this wonderful group of people going on 15 years! We love them very much and serving together in our church and community is such a blessing.
I hope you enjoy seeing my special gifts!

How lovely that you were given such special treasures! The teapot is especially beautiful, and the embroidered cloth.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this day before, but I love the concept. Most pastor's wives are involved with not only their own families but also the church family. Cheers to your congregation for remembering you.
