Women At The Feet Of Jesus (09/13/2007) Poem by Luke Easter

A meeting each month on the first or second Thursday,
Good Hope ladies gather to fellowship, worship & pray,
Bringing themselves to become humble and meek,
As the love of our Lord, Christ Jesus they sincerely seek.

For the Holy Spirit to fill the house it doesn't take long,
Soon as the group breaks out in a gospel song,
The altos and sopranos united in soulful harmony,
Giving guidance in the form of kingdom prosperity.

There are always plenty of home-prepared eats,
Starting with the staples and ending with the sweets,
Sandwiched in between by a variety of delicious meats,
Any restaurant would find it extremely hard to compete.

Bertha Fuqua baked a casserole and I carried it inside,
Next time she does that a portion for me I’ll have to hide,
Rita Mae Christmas made her infamous triple chocolate cake,
Better get some before her sister Peggy comes or it’ll be too late.

Judy, Denise, Una and Valerie rounded out tonight’s group,
Some of those women actually know how to hoop,
Without a keynote speaker they took turns going around,
Minus Jeanette & Toni, having prior commitments out of town.

Mark 4: 14, “The sower sows the Word” so Satan can’t steal,
This group knows in advance the evil one is very, very real,
But, so is the living God for whom they’ve gathered to praise,
There’s no opening for the devil infiltrate, this or any other day.

Just once a month doesn’t come close enough to proclaim,
The commitment to spreading the gospel in Jesus’ name,
For all of these Christian ladies this is an everyday thing,
Like Santa on Christmas, only spiritual presents they bring.

There are many external groups from this church and others,
Together, only the sisters or a group consisting of brothers,
We are all related, united in one common cause, goal or plan,
1st Peter 1: 19, all have been purchased by the blood of the Lamb.
