NOLA Mission Trip, A Memory in Verse




Light floods in Annunciation windows

as Miss Lilly receives her River Jordan necklace

and a blessing.

Souls refreshed, hearts healed, pitchers filled up

Sights refocused on the goal,

On Christ and calling.

Little but mighty team of eleven

Served, prayed, taught, hugged, sang, laughed, ate, forgave, and freed

Such an awesome privilege,

To embrace and be embraced by our New Orleans sisters.

Just the right number the Spirit brought

Wrapped in golden and red scarves,

Crocheted with prayer by Laura,

whose presence was felt by all.

The Lord had prepared a banquet of loving proportions

And along the way, did more than we could ask or imagine.

--Cheri Fuller
