Dedicated to my Pastor, The Rev. Gregory P. Nelson
On his 50th Birthday, July 9, 2011
You have since your early years
looked toward heaven for your reward.
Knowing that only the Creator of all
things could keep you marching forward.
You always knew that the Devil's mission
of destruction was not God's will.
That is why he prepared you as a
child to climb those troubling hills.
You have dedicated your life to
God and his commandments.
You have labored with Christ
and your will has not been bent.
It is my prayer that you continue
this journey of love for the church.
That you may continue giving to
those that have given you so much.
May god continue to bless and keep
you wrapped in his mercy and grace
as you march onward in hopes of
meeting the Father and the Son face to face.
It is true that your Birthday should be celebrated,
but the true joy is your journey to your
destination and to whom your life is dedicated.
This poem of celebration also serves as a note of
thanks for your dedication of service that
you have given so unselfishly and to celebrate
a mile stone in your life, your 50th Birthday.
May your 50th Birthday be bless
with the goodness and mercy that
God has showned you thru the years.
May your next (50) years continue to be dedicated
to the saving of souls and may the goodness of
God continue to be your shield.
