>Hug Your Pastor’s Wife.

Pastor appreciation month has come and gone (it’s October if you aren’t aware that there is even such a thing) but really we should show our pastors how much we appreciate them at all times. However, don’t forget that wife of his! She has a very unique calling.
Blessed are those who show concern for all those in the congregation, for they are the pastors’ wives,
Blessed are those who must sample all food prepared for all church functions and not make ugly faces regardless of how it tastes, for they are the pastors’ wives.
Blessed are those who must smile at all equally so they will not be called names by the hypocrites, for they are the pastors’ wives.
Blessed are those who hear all the gossip but must not offend anyone, for they are the pastors’ wives.
As funny and TRUE as the above statements are, at times those are the “easy parts” of being married to a pastor. Someone sent them to me in an email yesterday and I got to thinking that I would drop this suggestion to pray for the woman that shares her husband and life with your congregation. Her vocation can be lonely and difficult at times.

Clara’s 9th month was full of changes and she’s now in the double digits of monthdom! I can’t believe she’ll be a year old in a couple months! She’s becoming (well, she’s always been really) such an energetic and funny baby. She talks on the phone, waves bye-bye, gives big wet kisses and crawls like lightning (make a bee-line to the bathroom if the door is open!) and loves getting in trouble. Happy 10 month day Clara!

This “copy cat” phase Lily is in makes for so many laughs around here. Just like dad she has to read the paper while she eats lunch!
