Clergy Appreciation Day 2012
October 14, 2012 by Lillie
Today, Clergy Appreciation Day, I want to express my appreciation for Father Chip Harper, rector of All Saints Anglican Church in San Antonio, and his wife Christie. They both truly have servants’ hearts, and the loving care they have shown Jack and me through their presence, prayers, and practical help means so much to me. The people of All Saints have been so supportive of me during Jack’s illness and death. I thank God for Father Chip, Christie, and the All Saints family.
I know the role the clergy can play in your life especially when in moments when you seem to be losing control over everything in your life. I have been blessed to have had a priest who has been a guiding force and a father figure to me. Thanks for sharing Lillie.
Harry,
Glad you have been blessed with such a priest. That can make so much difference in difficult times.
This is such a touching post by you. We often forget to thank certain people who have made a big difference to our life by staying and helping us for various reasons. Thnking them would have surely made them happy and overwhelmed. You have touched their hearts in a good way.
Harry,
We often take clergy and others for granted, so it’s nice to have a special day to recognize them.
I also want to thank father John of Sagrada Familia Parish Church for being my spiritual adviser and for sharing me the word of God. Now I know that I am very loved by our Almighty Saviour.
Jane,
I’m glad you have a good spiritual adviser and that you appreciate him.
