..."while the dew is still on the Roses"...

As the hour of his death drew nearer, Jesus went with his disciples to pray in the garden of Gethsemane.
                     Matthew 26:36

Lest we forget !

 

Memorial Day Prayer...

Soldier, rest! Thy warfare o'er,
Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking,
Dream of battled fields no more.
Days of danger, nights of waking. -Sir Walter Scott

In the tangle of the fast pace...

and rat race...

of even a day off.

Let us make a celebration of courage...

one marked red, white and blue.

Even only a short moment of reflection

held for those who...

have found freedom’s door

and live no more...

in the shadow of tyranny.

A respite of peace

provided for us fortunate ones

by the deceased brave.

A concave

of all we stand for in America.

A testimony to a fortress of loyal spirit

that allows us choice...

that provides for us a security and sense of pride.

Even that we present ourselves this morning

as believers in the God of all nations...

let us be thankful for those who have preserved ours.

Those for whom flowers

can be laid..

and prayers relayed.

But mostly hearts can be released.

Thanks Be to God

for those men and women of conviction and courage.

Amen and Amen

The Love of God...

Happy Mother's Day

A Mother Who Cares....

There is no store made caring

          n0  invention of man

that can

match the love...

of a Mother.

There is no other sharing

            no contention that stands

the test

of the love...

of a Mother.

There is no heart as tearing

            no caressing hand

that holds

as that...

of a loving Mother.

And there simply is no preparing...

            no group that can band

together to

match the package

of  a Mother.

Ours has in truest form

            stepped aside from the norm

and as each child and grown man.

finds no other Mother quite like his own...

and indeed...that is the way God planned it.

For all you have done

            for all that you mean.

For all the true love

            above all we could convey.

We lift you up in honor

            on this OUR....Mother’s...Day.
