On Feb. 22nd we had the privilege of hearing from Gail Park and Christine French. They came and shared with us about their experiences as pastor's wives. Here are some of the great bits of truth that they were able to share with us.
*Get organized - In your own routine and in your family. Ministry will NOT be routine and it will be an amazing gift to your husband and children if you are able to give your family stability in other areas.
*Plan ahead - Keep that front room clean, just in case someone drops in (which will happen a lot!). Put a meal in the crock pot for any guests that you could have after church on Sunday.
*Don't be a hypocrite - Make sure that you are spending time in devotions and that you are depending on God for leadership so that you can counsel others to do the same.
*Be able to say "no" - You will be asked to do things you are not gifted at or that you do not have the time for. That is okay. Raising your children and caring for your husband are ministries in and of themselves.
*Know where you stand - From abuse and divorce to depression know what your beliefs are so that you can adequately counsel or give information and advice.
*Don't complain - Never undermine your husband to others in the church, they look to him as a leader and teacher and need to be able to trust his abilities.
