Because they let my family take the leftovers home from the church dinners. We sometimes eat off the leftovers for a whole week after a good church supper!
Because being the preacher's wife at church is like being at Cheers: I go to a place every week where everybody knows my name, and they're always glad I came.
Because even though we're in the North, the hospitality committee makes sweet tea at all their fellowships so that my Southern family will feel at home.
Because Larry Harrell gives my family eggs from his chickens whenever we want them.
Because I always have a seat reserved right up front. Tim calls it "The blessed spout where the glory comes out." :)
Because unlike other women, I never have to fuss at my husband to get him to wear a tie on Sundays.
Because in 22 states, being the preacher's wife gets you a discount on your bill at restaurants.
Because I love the look of shock and awe on the faces of unchurched people in the community when they see that I am a preacher's wife, but I do not have my grey hair up in a bun nor always carry a little white Bible with me, and that my favorite clothes are not long denim skirts but Levi's 515's.
Because the way I see it, in Heaven we will serve Jesus non-stop. So being in full-time Christian ministry is the closest anyone on Earth could ever get to being in Heaven.
Because my pastor is really hot, and he holds my hand and walks me home every Sunday.
