In continuing with my October theme of Pastor Appreciation Month and the honorable Martin Luther, I’m happy to share some more thoughts on being a pastor’s wife from my dear friend and fellow pastor’s wife Kristi.

I can’t speak for other Pastor’s families or what family life might be like in other denominations for a pastor’s family. I can only share our life, what we have encountered in the short 7 years as a pastor’s family in a rural town.
No one goes into this life really knowing what to expect. You can hear stories, you can be given advice, but like with other things, marriage or parenthood, you just have to start living it to learn it.
One day at a time, one month at a time, each one bringing it’s own changes, it’s own routines, it’s own troubles. And I’m sure there are families in other walks whose Daddies have been given other callings that could say some of the same things as I will. A Daddy’s work can make life lonely for many families, I know, I was raised with a Military Daddy!
I laughed when after explaining to a friend of mine that this new baby of ours isn’t due until April 15th, which means we clear Advent, Christmas, Lent AND Easter and how that is a little blessing, she said, “Only a pastor’s wife would have thought of that!”
She’s right, our family revolves around a slightly different calendar than a lot of families. Pastor’s wives know when our husbands will be at their busiest, the times of the year when they will be pulled and stretched thin, more tired. Typically the times of the year when other families are relaxing a bit more our family is just “gearing up!”

Oh our sweet boy turns 2.0 today!!! Two years ago he looked like this, can you believe it? And he gave the best kisses.
I tried so hard to get you to all born on the 19th. Our 5th baby born on our 5th anniversary would have been a nice gift, but you needed your own day I guess.
Happy Birthday Ephy Job.
We’re so thankful Jesus gave you to us!
