Ladies Meeting

Last night we had a ladies meeting, and I was the speaker. It turned out to be a going away party for me, and the only way for me to go was for them to have me speak. It was a fun evening. The theme was back to school, so we all sat in desks. It was fun.

This is some of the group.

This is my aunt, my mom is the middle and then me in the orange.

This is me reading a poem my aunt wrote me. Here it is:

"Aja,"


"In the Bible, an Alabaster Box was filled with precious ointment, the box was sealed and not to be broken until the day appointed.

This box is a symbol of purity for your future husband to be.
Please guard it and give it to him on your wedding day To show him you're pure and loyal to him in every way.

This gift is not just for your husband you see, it's for your daddy.
When he walks you down the aisle and your hand is on his arm secure, He'll look at you dressed in white and say, I know my girl is pure.

Also on your wedding day, this gift will be for your Mother, to know this will be your first kiss, because you have touched no other.

The precious gift does not stop here,
It's also for Granny and Papa who hold you dear.
They have prayed for you earnestly through the years, And on your wedding day they'll shed many happy tears.

Uncle Matt and I are so glad we have been apart of your life, And we know you'll serve the Lord, and be a wonderful wife.

You've been an example to young girls, that you may not even know.
Your testimony will help them to be faithful and grow.

However, there is One who will be more proud of you then all of us, that is your Lord, and Saviour Jesus.

So please leave this Alabaster Box where it can be seen, as a testimony that on your wedding day, you will be clean."

Love, Aunt Jenni and Uncle Matt"

Here is the the alabaster box that my aunt got me. It came from India.
