The Gathering Place Where Family Matters

God’s grace was often the central theme of her retreat notes. I’m not sure where she was speaking for this set of notes. But it was a great reminder that the Lord is God and He can be trusted in the happy times as well as the hard times.

Karen knew the joys of life as well as the heartaches and challenges. She was there serving and reaching out to those who were hurting, frightened, lonely, abandoned, and grieving. She also knew from personal experience what to say and what not to say!

Years ago Karen and I had the tremendous honor of speaking to pastors and wives at a conference sponsored by the Practical Bible College. Karen spoke to the pastors’ wives about a very real situation that many are facing. Most pastors’ wives are very busy ministering to the needs of the ladies in the church. But who is ministering to her needs? It has been my intention in these last few weeks to honor pastors’ wives all around the world.

Karen shared three things with pastor’s wives that would be helpful to them. As I read her notes I saw that these same three things will be helpful to all of us. Thank you for taking a moment to read her notes once again.
