Only because it is true...sometimes ministry sucks.You pour blood, sweat, tears, time, finance into someone and get stomped. Sometimes repeatedly.
And this ongoing conflict between Charlie Brown and Lucy is a fantastic representation of what it's like:

Thought it stood for itself; but the thing Lucy represents are the people we pour time into who ignore, forget, walk away from...and then a while later come back and go through the whole process again. Yeah, there comes a time (discernment needed!) when "tough love" needs to be executed; but since His mercies are new every morning; I need to (usually) extend grace to those who keep taking laps around Mount Sinai...and, hopefully, they will learn their lessons...eventually. In the meantime, by His grace and in His power; we'll keep trying to kick the ball
Hang in there...Ministry isn't easy. My husband no longer is a Pastor...but he does work at the prison. He would for sure say being a pastor is the harder of the two jobs.
