Pastor’s Wife Read!

Pastor’s Wife Read!
Please read Bro. Ballestero’s post first.
My response:
I am a pastor’s wife. We pastor a decent size church, and our church has continual flow of young preachers going out into the kingdom. This, I feel, is what the church is designed for… sending laborers into the field.
We also have people who have left and gone to other churches. However, for every person we are allowed to “plant” somewhere else, God always sends a replacement. I have learned, that if people who are disgruntled stay within our congregation, we just end up with more disgruntled people. As a result, I send up prayers for the pastor and the pastor’s wife who are assuming the responsibility of pastoring the dissatisfied, disgruntled, discontent, and unhappy people, and I thank God for the relief. And did I say that I look forward to the replacements that God sends our way.
I admit, there are times when I wish we could keep them all, but through His Word, I am comforted, my spirit is hushed and quietened and any ill will I might wand to harbor is subdued by this message, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 KJV –
