Amanda MaguireMore PostsGIFTSAlong the same lines as the previous blog, I searched the “gifts” for a pastor’s wife on the same web site. Here are the top 5:
1. Dry highlighters (Seriously??)
2. A doormat that reads: “As for me and my house..”
3. A “word Keeper” bible cover
4. Shield of faith pendants
5. A garden flag that reads: Love one another.
…I know earlier I said I loved the idea of all the gifts. Um, not these! Not all pastor’s wives are 84 and have bible covers. Seriously.

I’m Amanda Maguire and I have been “Married to a Youth Pastor” for almost 12 years now. We have 3 kids, Dylan (8) and Molly (6) and Scotty (3). I worked in full-time youth ministry for 4 years, got married and got a “real job”, allowing me to continue to be a volunteer in youth ministry for another 4 years. We started having kids and now I’m just married to the Youth Pastor. I have great friends and a fun life! I have a passion and a calling for wives just like me, married to a Youth Pastor.
I love to write.
I love to do creative activities.
I love to run.
I love to shop.
I love to dine out.
And I would love time to do any of these things more.

oh, man! this cracks me up! a lot of my family is not saved… and these are the kind of gifts I receive from them! (and I’m 25 years old!) Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate their sensitivity, but I would rather the pottery barn gift card my sister got than another cross knecklace!
LOL… no kidding. A lot of my family IS saved, and I still get lame gifts. My unsaved sister-in-law probably gave me the best gift this year… The Godfather Trilogy! Yes!
I think that by dry highlighters they mean dry MARK highlighters. They are all the craze for those who highlight in their Bibles that do not want to smear the word of the Lord. Honestly, it’s not a bad gift idea if you explain the intent of the product.
Hey, I love your blog! Question for you. My husband is just about to take his first job as a YP and I want to get him a little congrats gift. I am putting together a whole box of fun things he will need as a YP (both serious and funny). As a YP wife, can you think of anything funny or serious that might be fun to add to the gift box? So far I have a book of games, duct tape for when the kids break things, coffee for energy, a nice watch (he just needs one of these) and a few other things. Any thoughts? You can email me. Thanks!
Thanks for writing, I very much liked
