I've wrote many times about the blessing of having a great pastor, I myself have that blessing.
Yesterday after church there were a couple holding up my pastor, everyone had pretty much gone but some people didn't pick up on the obvious cue and continued holding him up after already taking his attention from everyone else.
Myself and another church member continued talking to the pastor's wife as my pastor was having a very intimate conversation about the things of Christ with the couple and she was greatful for us staying.
Hearing my pastor talk about the things of Christ is a blessing you have to experience but let's consider our pastors.
There are "pastor botherers" who hog up the pastor's time and we should not be one of those- your pastor has plenty of other things to do for Christ's kingdom and we need to keep this in mind.
Next off we need to remember our pastor is a human just like us- after Sundays etc he probably wants to unwind when he gets home with his wife and have a relaxing Sunday.
If I know anyone who should've reached out to their pastor this year it would be my wife but nope she didn't at all knowing all his work he does for the Kingdom.
Before we approach our pastor let us prayerfully consider whether we can sort this issue ourselves- I'm sure your pastor would rather unwind with his wife rather than hear a serial pastor botherer 🤭

I think sometimes there are people who need a little more attention than others. My children talk about when I paid more attention to one or the other. And they are right. There were periods in their childhood when one needed more attention that the other and then they switched. And today when they talk about it explain why this one or that one needed more help, more attention. I think if the pastor felt like he wasn't doing what he is supposed to do, he would cut it short. Remember when the children came to talk to Jesus and the disciples chastised them, Jesus said "Let them come". They weren't a bother.
@BritishFailedAesthetic The Pastor is doing God's work, there will be time. I see your point, I am just saying from the outside looking in, the pastor knows things that I don't about his flock.
