Ruth Carmichael Ellinger, The Shepherdess Speaks: Wildrose Cottage at sunset

About. me...

I am a pastor's wife, a Mom, a Grammy, and a writer. I live in the southern US but my ancestral roots are in Scotland. I am a passionate patriot, a lover of beauty, of home, of God and His creation. I write and speak about life and my role as guide to a spiritual flock. The lessons I have learned from the “Great Shepherd” I pass along to you. The Shepherdess blog is posted especially for my extended family and those who follow me.

I AM THE PREACHER'S WIFE

I am the woman who proudly sits in the shadows as her husband stands in the light. I am the one who knows her husband is a gift from God, and so I give him back to my Lord through his full-time service. Often times, I am so lonely for him because I share him with others.

But I am also pleased that he gives of himself so unselfishly. I am the one who encourages the preacher when others sometimes fail to. I am the one who listens to his dreams for the church and helps him look into the future and see his dreams become a reality.

And when others wonder if he really cares, I am the one who sees him on his knees, shedding tears for the future of the Lord's church.
