The Mutant Pastor

Bear with me on this 'til the end....

My 9-year-old loves to draw! And I love to hear her tell me abut what she drew and why. Usually it's Spider-Man or basketball pictures. She loves to illustrate Bible stories. Sometimes, a teddy bear for me since I love bears. And she draws lots of cowboy pictures of Daddy.

But today really threw me!
Today she drew a "Mutant Man".
And he had a great big smile on his face.
I was really confused!
Totally!

Until she told me about it...




Seems that it's the pastor of the wosrhip services we've been attending.
Yup. The pastor.
And the reason he's "Mutant Man" with a smile is because he's kind.
Not just sorta kind; but really kind.
Not just sometimes kind, but really kind.
Not the fake kind of kind....
REALLY kind....
And that makes him a mutant in the world of pastors.
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry!

Thank you God, for a kind pastor!
And Lord, please forgive all the unkind ones and remind them that our little ones are watching.

It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists,
and some to be pastors and teachers,.....
to prepare God's people for works of service,
so that the body of Christ may be built up
until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
~Ephesians 4:11-13
