Talked to Sister Ruth briefly today, she has not been feeling well, and sounded worse than I have ever heard her, please pray.
I lift her up As she so often did me That mentor But so much more too She’s a friend too. Like a Grandmother Someone I can turn to So seeing her hurting Hurts me too and seeing her sick Makes me want to lift her up With words of encouragement And words of prayer.

It’s In the Little Things She Gives A Tribute
For Sister Ruth You have from the first moment You came into my life Left that impression on my heart Of the caring soul you are I know the pain you went through A Mother to bury her child Can never be easy And to this day That pain is evident But anyone else might have Found a weakened faith You found strength And shared it in all you did. You are the one I was not afraid to tell My story with Or shed tears You must have a thousand Little Momentos Cards, And I have that green pillow With the white and yellow trim You made with your own hands And that silk scarf you gave me That matched perfectly with one Of my dresses But more than that I have the wisdom of Your years And your friendship It’s hard to believe You have walked this Earth for eighty four years And still you have more enegry than Someone a quarter your age. Sister Ruth there are so many things I can say to you But right now Thank you is all I can say And it does not seem enough. Copyright Michelle R Kidwell May.19.09 6:55 P.M PST |
For A Friend, For A Mentor
Sister Ruth, my sweet and wonderful mentor inspired this, I told her I would get her a new poem she can place in her Bible, here it is! The Lord blessed me With a friend like you But more than that He found someone I can turn to Whether it is for advise on faith Or simply talking the way we do. You are the kind of person Who embraces faith and Who will whisper a prayer For anyone in need Who will shout praises And will stand strong In the midst of a storm. For a friend, for a mentor For a Sister in Christ These words I write Are my gift to you. Copyright Michelle R Kidwell May.24.09 4:03 P.M PST |
