May God bless the Pastor's wife.
A woman in our Lifegroup yesterday, we'll call her Dee, shared a little story about her mother. At some point during her life, Dee's mom told her children about how "rowdy" she used to be in her younger days. This surprised the grown children and Dee commented, "But you're a Pastor's wife." Then it hit me...we pray for our Pastors, but often forget to pray for their wives.
Can you imagine being married to a Pastor? I feel like they are held to this higher standard than the rest of us, whether real or imagined. What a burden that must be.
From stories I've heard from the Pastor, I gather that when God called him into service, He also called his wife, so her heart is there for the task. I am in awe of her.
Keep your heart with all vigilance,
for from it flow the springs of life.
Proverbs 4:23 ESV

Please join me this week in praying for our Pastors' wives. Pray that they feel nothing but love and encouragement from their congregations. Pray that the church family lift her up in their prayers and support her. Also, pray that their husbands are sensitive to their needs.
I'll post daily reminders on:
