We do want to be loved by our congregation (who wouldn't) but a better way to look at it is God put me here for a reason. How can my relationship with Him, the gifts talents and passions He has given me, become a gift from Him to this congregation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15346857.post-1128825830919942642005-10-08T21:43:00.000-05:002005-10-08T21:43:00.000-05:00I'm glad the words were helpful.I'm glad the words were helpful.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235049965406944684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15346857.post-1128776242202189542005-10-08T07:57:00.000-05:002005-10-08T07:57:00.000-05:00Songbird, That's a really helpful way to think abo...Songbird, That's a really helpful way to think about this question -- you've put words to my quandry!!
