Pearl

On the morning of my Mom's 70th birthday in 2003,
These are the words that God spoke to me.

PEARL
I have been planning this celebration for a long time;
I am doing everything that is on My mind.
I have spared your life for such a time as this,
And your birthday party I would never miss.
So when you hear the words of praise, and see the gifts you've received,
Know that you are blessed and highly favored, like Mary, Esther, Sara and Eve.
For they were virtuous women, and their children called them Blessed,
And your children have done the same, in front of many guest.
So I am here with you to celebrate the day,
In spite of all the obstacles you found along the way.
But know that it is Me, working this event out;
Saving you for such a time as this to glorify Me, praise and shout!!

God
