To Be A Blessing
God's Way
by Michele Wheaton,
BGW
Representative
Come, now Spirit, reveal your truth
Of woman, her legacy, design and worth
For what, Creator, declares your glory?
From rib, to woman does tell your story
Not lust of flesh, nor pride of life
Vainglory, sensuality, nor strife
Not dread, anxiety, fear or pain
Not shunned, confused, oppressed, or shamed
But woman, I've made you to be
A testimony of love, of Me
Maiden flower, blossoms wide
Child and woman awkwardly collide
Crimson red by cycle flows
Draw near to Me, pour out your woes
Hear my voice, be virtuous today
Exalt me and be,
A blessing God's way
Mother, stretch your faith and trust
I AM, your Lord, my grace is enough
Sit at my feet, and sup with me
Life grows within you, a miracle you'll see
Women to mother, come alongside
Labor, pray, and fortify
Oh, life! How fearfully and wonderfully made!
For second birth, my Son, he paid
On Christ's behalf, behold a babe!
Now to your breast, may this child lay
Trust me and be,
A blessing God's way
O woman, ripened now with years
Who hath cycled, birthed and loved with tears
Tarried on through harvest, stretched forth your hand
Served others faithfully, by His command
Far wiser, more beautiful, refined, and true
God's great commission extends to you
Will you surrender, commit to be?
My daughter, obedient, and teach others of me?
Adorned with good works, beauty purified
Holy as I am, mentoring life
Lift high my name, and you will see
Your body, your purpose, I've created for me
To glorify my name, draw near the lost
By blood to blood, a sobering cost
Christ, take my heart, to you I give
Prayerfully, on knee, I pledge to live
Speak now, Spirit, what can I do today?
To pass on the legacy

Authentic Mexican Salsa
A delicious Salsa recipe sent in by Steve Sheppard
Steve says:
This is not my recipe, it came from the Mexican grandmother of a
buddy of mine. Here goes, and it’s not exact:
3 pounds of tomatoes
1 jalapeño pepper
6 cloves of garlic
2 limes
1 bunch of cilantro
2 T balsamic vinegar
3 T of olive oil
1 t of cumin (best if you grind it yourself)
Salt
Pepper
Chop fine and mix everything. Add ingredients to taste, it’s never
exactly the same. NEVER use: garlic powder, garlic salt, bottled
lime juice, dry cilantro (does it even exist?) or any oil other than
olive!
