Happy Mrs. Pastor Day...

Last Sunday, March 18th, was Mothering Sunday in some parts of the world. When I realized that, I sent "Happy Mothers' Day" messages to some ladies in those parts of the world and it got me thinking...

On the 8th of this month, it was International Women's Day. Wow - 2 days in one month dedicated to women. After thinking about it, I decided that today 26th of March (i.e. a sum of 8+18 - this year) should be "Mrs. Pastor Day."

First of all, each and every Mrs. Pastor is a woman and on top of that she is looked upon as a mother. I know I have shared about whether or not you are the mother** the fact of life is that is an underlying expectation that we need to meet.

To celebrate our "Mrs. Pastor Day" I'm sharing a lovely poem that is so apt. Personally, I know a lot of times, we may not be noticed or even appreciated for all that we do...don't relent because some people (like the author of this poem) do and most importantly God notices and appreciates us...and that's all that matters.


When we thank God for our pastor
We must give Him thanks for two,
For when your husband came to us
God also sent us you.  A pastor's wife must be many things,
You have many hats to wear;
And we say thanks for all you do
And lift you up in prayer. You adjust your life to meet the needs
Of your husband's congregation,
And it seems that you can always cope
With most any situation.  Your presence blesses all of us
Who know you from day to day
As our pastor's wife, you are serving God
In a fine and worthy way.*

Happy Mrs. Pastor Day!!

P.S. Don't forget to notice and appreciate other Mrs. Pastors you know - today and always... Let's be there for one another. Feel free to forward this to them too.
