Pray For Your Pastor Team Jesus! The Load is Heavy! Do not take your Pastor and his or her family for granted.

The Christmas season is upon us. Despite all the fun of this holiday, this time of year can also be difficult for pastors. Here are several reasons why:
1. The season feels like it goes on for too long.
Culture contributes to that feeling, of course, when shopping malls start decorating for Christmas just after Halloween.
Churches do it, though, when we practice for presentations for months, plan the Christmas Eve service months in advance, etc. All of that’s important – it just makes the season seem long.
Reasons Pastors Struggle During Christmas
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another:
just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
By this all people will know that you are my disciples,
if you have love for one another.
–John 13:34-35
