As You Serve

 

in honor of Major Whitney Sherrill

Something I happened to observe
as I thought about the time you serve

you do the right thing because it’s the right thing to do
Trinity church family loves you and believes in you, too

you're in our prayers and held close to our heart
warm thoughts of you though we’re far apart

we pray each day for your safe returning
meanwhile, Janet keeps the home fires burning

may God hold you within His protective hedge
stay cool, well hydrated and don’t lose your edge

we’re sending care packages with goodies your way
just wanted you to know we’re thinking of you today

About the Poet
I grew up in rural North Carolina, married for 38 years to my best friend and soulmate, Allen, who retired almost 17 years ago from the Air Force after 24 years of service to our beloved America. We have a daughter, Ashley ( and son-in-law, Kris) and, a son, John, and, our two beautiful grand daughters, Amelia and Haley, and Isaac, our only grandson, all blessings from God. We have four cats; Mr. Peabody, Missy, aka Middle Kitty and Tabby, aka Little Kitty, and Gracie. I've seen a lot of hard times and God has always been here for me to see me through them. I am a vessel God can use to help others in need. If I could be described in one word, it would be that I am an encourager.
