Birthday Poem To My Pastor's Wife Poem by Gloria Ochonogor

And God said,
'Let us make man in our image and after our likeness'.
In the image of God created he him.
God gave him his presence, God gave him work,
God gave him an assignment, an instruction, a purpose.

And God said, 'It is not good for man to be alone'...

9 months to this day, many years ago,
God was thinking of this man.
He orchestrated the events of a couple in a distant land…
Sperm fused with an egg, a seed was formed.
Nurtured in the womb, birthed 9 months later.
The heavens rejoiced, the earth made merry.
Destiny was born.

Nurtured by her parents, groomed in her family,
loved by her community,
Till the appointed time when he asked,
'Will you marry me? ' and she screamed 'YES! '

Today we celebrate this unique being, special creature,
tailor made just for him.
This beautiful woman that inspires her man
To be more than he really is,
More than he otherwise could ever be.

Ah! Beauty on the inside,
Beauty on the outside.
Beauty with brains,
Cos it takes brains to be married to this man.
It takes courage
A daily, deliberate decision.

It takes God to share your husband with a congregation.
It takes God to allow your husband
Put the needs of humanity first before yours.
I'm talking about a woman who knows her God.

Wonderfully crafted to be loved, to love and to succor.
Exquisitely created to be his wife.
Intricately designed to be the mother of his kids.

Rich in beauty. Rich in brains.
Rich in elegance. Rich in poise.
Rich in integrity. Rich in dignity.
Rich in wisdom. Rich in character.
Hmmm… naturally and abundantly endowed
God must love her very much.

More than a creature, more than a being.
More than a female, more than a lover.
More than a soul mate, more than a help meet.
I describe true womanhood.
A virtuous woman.
The Proverbs 31 woman.

The Bible says, 'Ye are gods',
So I describe a goddess.
Moves with grace.
Speaks with authority like the queen she is
Because she brings out the king in her man.

Beloved, lovely, loving, lovable,
Amiable, adorable, beautiful, enviable,
Spirit filled, highly anointed, fountain of wisdom,
Pleasing to behold, delight to be with,
Loved by all, mother of many…

I love you more than words could express,
More than you could ever imagine.

Become all that you were made to be!
Finish your race with grace.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM MY HEART
COS THAT'S WHERE ALL GREAT WISHES START!
