Okay, so some of you give me crap about always being snarky, sarcastic and cynical. So, I thought I’d do a decidedly uncynical series of posts: Top Ten Things About Being A Pastor.
#10: Though I hate weddings and say no to most requests, they do give me a front row seat to what no one else but the bride and groom get to see- not the annoying photographers, not the bridal party nor the front rowed family members.
One of the best things about being a pastor is getting to see the absolute, unfiltered joy, breathless-are-we-really-doing-this-fear, love and nervousness in a couple’s eyes as they look at each other and vow ‘…and with all that I am and all that I have, I honor you…in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.’
That look in their eyes with those words on their lips, if you want a good working definition/image of what an act of faith is there you go.
