Happy Birthday to "A Worthy Man"


Quintin enjoying his birthday breakfast; coffee (his dietary staple), orange cinnamon rolls (a favorite among the Baldwin men), and of course the Word (his real food)!!

A birthday poem for Quintin called "A Worthy Man" by Chelsey Mae
- based on qualities of Boaz from the book of Ruth

Compassionate, hard-working,
kind, and sweet,
filled with a Life-Joy
that won't see defeat.

Persevering, enduring,
rational, and rare,
uniquely God-fashioned
without compare.

Serving, loving,
brave, and bold,
clings to God's Word,
rejects Satan's hold.

Honest, forgiving,
gentle, and safe,
a man of integrity,
a man of real faith.

For one, a women,
may look all around,
some even might say,
"He can't be found".

But God planned before the world,
to make just he,
he purposed a worthy man,
and one do I see.

A man clothed in Christ's forgiveness,
and in the Spirit's power,
and man of 28 years,
turning this very hour.

PS - This what happens when I try an make a homemade birthday cake called "The Perfect Chocolate Cake". No I didn't make this with any children under the age of 5!
