STILL TRUCKING

I have a warm and friendly feeling as I think of you each day.
And I wish we could visit again, but you’re many miles away.

I’ve heard you spin many a yarn and even say “you bet”
A better person I’ve become, because one day we had met.

The Lord has blessed us with a truck driver, which we have all come to love.
God’s hand was always watching her and sometimes even driving from above.

She travels freely now over heavens rolling hills to its shining sea.
She was a special woman God made just for you and me.

As heaven and earth now divide us, the special memories of you bring us near.
The common things of life we shared, laughter and sometimes a heart-felt tear.

So, Father in heaven hear my prayer when I think of our beloved one each day.
Please protect our wife, mother, and friend while she’s many, many miles away.

GOSPEL MIRRORING

1 Kings 10:1-8
1 The queen of Sheba, having heard a report of Solomon’s fame, came to test him with subtle questions.

2 She arrived in Jerusalem with a very numerous retinue, and with camels bearing spices, a large amount of gold, and precious stones. She came to Solomon and spoke to him about everything that she had on her mind.

3 King Solomon explained everything she asked about, and there was nothing so obscure that the king could not explain it to her.

4 When the queen of Sheba witnessed Solomon’s great wisdom, the house he had built,

5 the food at his table, the seating of his ministers, the attendance and dress of his waiters, his servers, and the burnt offerings he offered in the house of the Lord, it took her breath away.

6 “The report I heard in my country about your deeds and your wisdom is true,” she told the king.

7 “I did not believe the report until I came and saw with my own eyes that not even the half had been told me. Your wisdom and prosperity surpass the report I heard.

8 Happy are your servants, happy these ministers of yours, who stand before you always and listen to your wisdom.
