The Table of Friendship
My Lord,
I thought I was
going to be the Great White Missionary
reaching down
to the outcast and neglected,
but you made me one of them.
Now I'm reaching across the table
in a ministry of friendship.

Post a CommentWonderful words.
I love Michele Starkey's comment of being a web missionary.
Absolutely neglected
Nice one!
Really great read.
O Shirley, you are a great missionary preacher, and your poetry is your pulpit. I haven't been getting notices of your work till today, and I see I've missed some. Will rectify that!
Your hands extend across the Internet table, all for His glory :) Imagine that, a worldwide missionary :) cheers
