My Pastor-----My Friend

I have waited some time to tell you of my story of a gift and friendship so absolutely amazing to me. God has blessed me to the highest heights by putting an extrodinary person in my life, my Pastor and my friend. When God created Mary, He knew exactly what he was doing. He granted her wisdom, He gave her challenges, He granted her understanding and caring with kindness beyond compare. He gave her a strong attitude and a lovely sense of humor. God has used her to impact my life so amazingly. Pastor Mary reconnected me to God. Mary connected me to an outstanding friend. I have watched her as she handled many difficult situations, sometimes a little amazed at the outcomes. I have learned so very much. I have seen the contentment, the hurt, exhaustion and absolute joy in her. I have seen your outstanding gifts given to this beautiful woman. God keep your arms around her and keep her humble. Bless her with ALL your gifts. You have totally cherished our church with this beautiful Pastor and me with a beautiful friend. clc
