PKs

 Don’t you see that children are God’s best gift? -Psalm 127:3

Caleb & Joshua... their first year as PKs

When their dad entered the ministry our boys were 7 & 10. Because I had been a PK myself, I was hyper sensitive to how we approached ministry life & our home life as well from the very beginning. I notoriously guard our family time & sometimes our kids with my life. I just don’t care what people think. Bottom line, I am accountable to God for the children He has given me. This is my calling. My purpose. 

Want to know how you can best support your pastor’s family?

• Respect the fact that your pastor has kids. Don’t overload his schedule with evening meetings every night of the week. Don’t expect him to always sacrifice his family time to be available for church business. His family is also his ministry.
• Remember, by definition, pastor’s kids are KIDS. They are not adults. You should not place unrealistic expectations on them. PK’s are not born quoting Scripture & neither are they born adults. Allow the pastor’s kids to be kids, & don’t place burdens on them that you would not want placed on your own children.
• Remember that the pastor’s kids are the PASTOR’S kids. They are not yours. If you’re not the parent of the pastor’s kid, please stop trying to parent the pastor’s kid. He probably doesn’t need your help identifying areas where they could mature, & he probably hasn’t asked you to tattle-tale on his children.
• Be an encourager. We are all in this together.
