Virtuous woman: she exemplified
Compassionately firm, steadfastly right
Blissfully cheering to make each day bright
Sharing sweet kindness with faith fortified.
Pastor’s wife whose smile unceasingly glows
Mom caring for kids in her gracious poise
Unmindful of heart ailment’s weary noise
A friend to hear shared times of highs and lows.
Down the lane, she would be seen in her zest
Giving Gospel tracts, declaring Christ’s love
Leading others to worship God above
Inviting them for prayer midst trust’s best.
I thank the Lord for her blest legacy
Mentoring well as to what is great gain
Joyous life vanquishing affliction-pain
Spending all by the Lord’s sufficiency.*
Gazing at her face for the last moment
Exuding well beauteous serenity
I sensed her spiritual security
She had testified with hope’s fulfillment.
*2Corinthians 3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God.
This is my special way of remembering Sis. Cecil Recto who is now with the Lord.
