I’m thinking of the holidays and all of the wonderful moments that come along with them. No doubt, as a pastor’s wife, you’ll have your hands pretty full with Christmas parties, plays, brunches, and so much more—not the least of which will be all the activities you’ll be orchestrating for your own family.
As a pastor’s wife, I try to be especially considerate of the ladies at this time of year; so I do not expect them to work their fingers to the bone pulling together all of these activities while I go have my nails done. They have every bit as much shopping, preparing, baking, wrapping, decorating, and planning to do as I have, so how could I possibly pile more on them? I try to do as much as I possibly can and with all their help we have really spectacular holidays around here. There’s fun, great fellowship, jolly activities, and surprises everywhere you look—and we all get to enjoy these times immensely!
Be careful about what you expect from the ladies of the church during this busy season. Don’t overload them. Make your affairs simple but beautiful, and everyone will enjoy themselves and remember these special times with fondness in the years to come.
