1. You are the best thing about
being a pastor’s wife—and you are the worst thing about being a pastor’s wife.
2. Please never say, “Oh that’s
right, you are not one of us.”
3. Sometimes I am afraid to
wear something new to church because I wonder what you might think about me having
something new.
4. Just because my husband’s
car is not at the church office does not mean he is not working. Sometimes he is up in the middle of the night
for hours praying for you.
5. When you criticize my
husband, you are criticizing me too…and visa versa. We are one.
6. Sometimes I don’t want to go
to church.
7. Each time you have a
negative thought or word about my husband or the church or me or my children,
replace it with a positive thought or word about my husband or the church or me
or my children. I am learning to do that for you.
8. I wanted to buy a can of
beer to put into a Southern Living magazine
recipe for chili and was afraid someone would ‘catch’ me and think I was going
to drink it….I felt rebellious and bought it anyway.
9. The church of satan prays
that my husband will fail, that my family will fail and that the Christian
church will fail.
10. It would be helpful if you
would not look me over from head to foot when I come in to the church…and then
say nothing.
11. It is OK if other people in the church don't know that we are friends.
12. It is hard and
heart-breaking if you leave the church....or stop coming.
13. Never get to the place where
you believe you know all there is to know about God and His Word.....always be a life-learner....especially when it comes to things of God.
14. I am lonely.
15. I am grateful for you.
16. I am fearful.
17. I am encouraged….I get
discouraged.
18. I feel/am inadequate to be
your pastor’s wife.
19. I love you!!!
20. I want to be your friend but
I don’t want to talk about church stuff.
With much love,
Your pastor’s wife
