A Crown of Grace for Sister Mary
Seventy-three years of walking in faith,
A journey sustained by His love and His strength.
With a heart for the Kingdom and hands held out wide,
You’ve traveled this road with the Lord as your guide.
The Word tells us clearly, in a promise so true,
A truth we see shining so brightly in you:
“Gray hair is a crown of glory;
it is gained in a righteous life.” (Proverbs 16:31)
A symbol of wisdom through joy and through strife.
As you reach this new milestone, may His peace be your stay,
And His mercies be new at the dawn of each day.
From your family in faith, this blessing we send,
To a sister, a teacher, a mother, and friend:
“The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26)
Happy 73rd Birthday, Sister Mary Atijano!
With love and prayers,
