Well, February 2, 2020 is Super Bowl LIV (Number 54).<\/p>\n
As I observe families and friends preparing for the Big Game, which took a season to prepare for, I am mindful of how we, as Wives of Christian Leaders, prepare for our Big Game every week.\u00a0 I'm talking about our Sunday Worship Services.<\/p>\n
In any given game, we live up to the Wife's Call by playing in different positions on the field to help the Quarterback, our husbands, reach the goal; safe delivery of the Gospel to our congregations.<\/p>\n
Here are some positions I've played. (Please share with me your positions.)<\/p>\n
Assistant Coach -\u00a0 <\/strong>Teaching and training the women and children in the Word.<\/p>\n Defense -\u00a0 <\/strong>This position prevents the opposing team from advancing.\u00a0 Satan tries every week, but we are vigilant to protect our husbands and the congregation from being devoured.<\/p>\n Offense - <\/strong>\u00a0When you look onto the field, these players are the biggest, strongest ones and their work can win or lose the game.\u00a0 As wives, e block for husbands, who carry the ball faithfully every Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n And sometimes we come out of the stands to be:<\/p>\n The Cheerleader\u00a0<\/strong>- We give pep talks when our husbands are down.\u00a0 We inspire congregations to rise to the fullest potential. We sense when a player needs to be relieved, and we provide a safe place for those who may not have done so well today, hugging them and sending them back out, knowing that God will use even this for His glory.<\/p>\n Being a member of \"Team Husband\" has its challenges.\u00a0 Every successful game begins with a Pre-Game Strategy.\u00a0 Ours takes place every Saturday.<\/p>\n As with any team member, the Wife must also be skilled in passing and rushing.\u00a0 The above strategies will grow you into a great receiver and an awesome team player.<\/p>\n Share with us your Pre-Game Strategies and Post-Game Successes.<\/p>\n Embrace and Accept the Call.<\/p>\n Lady Shirle Perkins<\/em><\/p>\n For more resources to Accept the Call, check out our blog at shirleperkins.com<\/p> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, February 2, 2020 is Super Bowl LIV (Number 54).

\u00a0Bathing in prayer for her husband and the congregation<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n
Preparation of the Game Uniform. Every thing is laid out for me the night before.\u00a0 Nothing messes up a spirit more than a wardrobe malfunction or a forgotten piece of equipment.\u00a0 LOL<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n
Rest.\u00a0 Satan often will find our weak spot and blind side when we are not at optimal strength.\u00a0 Guard your rest time.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n
And I dare not leave out Sunday pre-service prep.\u00a0 Sunday mornings can create a rush like none other.\u00a0 Go into your personal \"locker room\" and have your personal worship time with the Lord.\u00a0\u00a0<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
