Treasured Thoughts, Letter to My Church

Dear New Life Church.

A treasured gift hangs on the wall near the kitchen table
Like something brave, solid, embracing, and stable. 
It's the portrait of the heads of Christ and a lion.
It's a precious goodbye gift from you.
When I look at it, I think of you.

A treasured gift sits on the floor in a book holder.
Inside of that Bible, in addition to the word of God,
are 'post it stickers' with brief notes from friends.
It's the Bible I reach for most every morning;
And when I do, I think of you.

Inside the special areas of my heart are memories.
They portray hundreds of precious experiences
And thousands of 'God Moments' shared with you.
Oh how blessed I feel when I think of you.

You are forever in our memories.
