I believe this is a day that we share with Mothers - we have spiritual labour pains as we travail and travel alongside our husbands in ministry. I found this poem - which is not just apt but will also be a good segue to a future piece: "By his side?" which I'm still piecing together.
The Pastor’s Wife
(by Donna Golden, Georgia, USA)
We often hear of Hero(e)s
On the news at night
How someone went into a fire
To save someone else’s life
But, there’s another Hero
That we never hear about
Thou(gh) her love and dedication
Are never in a doubt
Often took (taken) for granted
Never glorified
Still she keeps on going
For the person by her side
She stands beside him everyday
No matter what is thrown their way
For he was called from above
To spread the message of GODS’ LOVE
And just as he was called
She was hand-picked too
For it takes someone special
To do what she must do
And thou(gh) he may get the glory
And he may get the fame
She will stand beside him with love
And help him just the same
She is the person he turns to
When he needs a friend
She will always be there
To the glorious end.
I would like to take this moment
to introduce to you a LOVELY unsung Hero
for whom GOD hand-picked to spend her life
as The Pastor's WIFE.
My dear Mrs Pastor,
I salute and celebrate you this Mother's Day and always. Celebrate yourself too.
With much love,
Your fellow Mrs Pastor
