thankful for encouraging seminary profs

Thankful for my prof. who sends emails like this:

"I want to thank you for all of your hard work this semester. I know that we are half way through the course and all of you are tired. Let me just say that Christmas break is here and you have a few weeks off. Please, don't fill your days with work. Take some time to be with your family. Read a fiction book. Go for a drive or a walk with someone you love. Have a friend over for dinner. Take a nap in your favorite chair. In other words, take a break, you all deserve one. You are moving into a wonderful semester. I believe that you will begin preaching class next semester. If so, you are in for a treat. It is a great class and way different than you experienced this semester with worship. And for our class, you are going to be meeting with a spiritual advisor of your choosing and doing some spiritual direction with someone you appreciate in ministry. It will be a welcome, refreshing and recharging change of pace for us. I can't wait to see how God will move in our lives in the coming months. But for now, relax. The Bible says to taste and see that the Lord is Good. As you eat and drink with friends and family over this Christmas season, taste and see the goodness of Jesus. Love you all and will continue to pray for your rest over the Christmas season. Pastor Aaron."
