"I Know!"
By, Cheryl Harwell Bailey
you might be a preacher's wife.
I have been married to my love, 41 years.
He has been a "Bishop" most of these years.
Indeed, one of the congregations for 20 years.
Now working full time in non-profit disaster and famine relief.
I said all that, to say this,
"I do know what your going through."
I know! Being the wife of a "Preacher" is a dichotomy of sorts.
On one side of the coin, there's nothing better!
But on the other side, it can be bitter!
Think about it. Of all professionals,
Doctor's, Lawyer's, Professor's, Banker's!
The Preacher
is the only one who speaks for "God."
It's not a "Profession!"
It's a "Calling!"
He and his family are scrutinized more than other families.
They live in a "Glass" house, on constant display.
99% are morally upright, as it should be,
but the world at large, the media,
seem to zoom-in on the 1%, who are not.
So "Preacher's Wife," you are something else!
You are married to:
"The Man!"
He is helping and pointing people to "God,"
during life's darkest times,
and life's greatest triumphs.
That makes you:
"The Woman!"
