On this your birthday and valentines day too
I pen from my heart this poem just for you
A new year lies ahead for your ministry
To share God's love with a healing testimony
All things work to the good for those in Christ
Your healing testimony will impact many lives
Glory be to God for His loving kindness
His promises do manifest as He lovingly guides us
You've been such a blessing in my life
Early on you reminded me of avoiding strife
And although I was a baby christian compared to you
You remained humble and asked my opinion too
On this journey we've shared both ups and downs
I'm so very blessed that your friendship I found
Many services of glory you've shared with me
I can't tell you how blessed I was to share in the glory
My precious sister in Christ you are so blessed
Nothing is impossible for God with our willingness
A new journey more powerful He has anointed you with
Not only sharing the gospel but He's added on a healing gift
I wanna take the time to praise God for you
And to also praise God for your healing miracle too
Your calling is a wonderful journey to share
I love you Sis Ethel and thank-you for being there
Have a blessed birthday filled with much love
Know how special you are to me and the Lord above
I pray this year is blessed with more of God's glory
As we both press forward on this blessed journey
Lovingly ;Your Sis/ Pastor Linda

2 Cor.4:6
For God, who commanded the light
to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts,
to give the light of the knowledge of the
glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
