I Must Pray
Both Night and Day.
Before I Eat,
I must entreat
That God would Bless to me my Meat.
I must not play
On the Sabbath-day:
But I must hear
God's Word in Fear.
I must not SWEAR.
I must not Lie, I must not Feign,
I must not take God's Name in vain.
I must not Rail.
I must not Steal.
It is a Sin
To steal a Pin,
Much more to steal a greater thing.
It's better for me to be poor,
And
beg my Bread from door to door,
Than to steal my Neighbor's Store.
I must Work, and I must Pray,
And God will feed me day by day,
Mine honest Labours God will Bless,
But he hate Idleness.
My King, and all my Governors,
My Parents and Superiors,
These I must Honour and Obey,
To these I must my Duty pay.
I must not be Rude nor Wild,
I must not be a Wanton Child:
I must sing no wanton Songs,
I must forgive my Neighbors wrongs:
I must speak of no Man ill,
But to all must bear good will:
I had better die
Than tell a Lie.
I must not sin,
A World to win.
My Tongue
Must do no wrong.
If my Tongue do here Rebel,
Then my Tongue must burn in Hell.
I must Read, I
must heed,
And on the Scriptures I must feed.
I must Put my Trust In Christ above,
The God of Love.
Christ alone my Soul can save,
And raise my Body from the Grave.
Christ alone must have my Heart,
Christ and I must never part.
Lord, Grant that I
In Faith may die,
And live with Christ Eternally!
_AMEN._

A Beautiful Letter from a Child to His Mom
 |
| A Beautiful Letter from a Child to His Mom |
The surgeon said,
"I'm sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn't make it."
Sally said, "Why
do little children get cancer? Doesn't God care any more? Where were you, God,
when my son needed you?"
The surgeon asked,
"Would you like some time alone with your son? One of the nurses will be
out in a few minutes, before he's transported to the university."
Sally asked the nurse
to stay with her while she said good-bye to son. She ran her fingers lovingly
through his thick red curly hair.
"Would you like
a lock of his hair?" the nurse asked.
Sally nodded yes. The
nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to
Sally. The mother said, "It was Jimmy's idea to donate his body to the
university for study. He said it might help somebody else. "I said no at
first, but Jimmy said, 'Mom, I won't be using it after I die. Maybe it will
help some other little boy spend one more day with his Mom." She went on,
"My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone else. Always
wanting to help others if he could."
Sally walked out of
Children's mercy Hospital for the last time, after spending most of the last
six months there. She put the bag with Jimmy's belongings on the seat beside
her in the car. The drive home was difficult. It was even harder to enter the
empty house. She carried Jimmy's belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock
of his hair to her son's room. She started placing the model cars and other
personal things back in his room exactly where he had always kept them. She
laid down across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep.
It was around
midnight when Sally awoke. Laying beside her on the bed was a folded letter.
The letter said:
"Dear Mom, I
know you're going to miss me; but don't think that I will ever forget you, or
stop loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to say I LOVE YOU. I will always
love you, Mom, even more with each day. Someday we will see each other again.
Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be so lonely, that's
okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to play with. But, if you
decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't like the same things us
boys do. You'll have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like, you know. Don't be
sad thinking about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma and Grandpa met me
as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time
to see everything. The angels are so cool. I love to watch them fly. And, you
know what? ! Jesus doesn't look like any of his pictures. Yet, when I saw Him,
I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see GOD! And guess what, Mom? I got
to sit on God's knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody important. That's
when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you good-bye and
everything. But I already knew that wasn't allowed. Well, you know what Mom?
God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter. I
think Gabriel is the name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to
you. God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you asked
Him 'Where was He when I needed him?' "God said He was in the same place
with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as He
always is with all His children.
Oh, by the way, Mom,
no one else can see what I've written except you. To everyone else this is just
a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool? I have to give God His pen back now.
He needs it to write some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit
at the table with Jesus for supper. I'm, sure the food will be great.
Oh, I almost forgot
to tell you. I don't hurt anymore. The cancer is all gone. I'm glad because I
couldn't stand that pain anymore and God couldn't stand to see me hurt so much,
either. That's when He sent The Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I
was a Special Delivery! How about that?
Signed with Love
from: God, Jesus and Me.
A Beautiful Letter from a Child to His Mom
A Beautiful Letter from a Child to His Mom
Am I A Fireman Yet
Although her heart
was filled with sadness,she also had a strong feeling of determination.
Like any parent, she
wanted her son to grow up & fulfill all his dreams.
Now that was no
longer possible.
The leukemia would
see to that. But she still wanted her son's dream to come true.
She took her son' s
hand and asked,
"Billy, did you
ever think about what you wanted to be once you grew up?
Did you ever dream
and wish what you would do with your life?"
Mommy, "I always
wanted to be a fireman when I grew up."
Mom smiled back and
said, "Let's see if we can make your wish come true."
Later that day she
went to her local fire
Department in Phoenix
, Arizona , where she met Fireman Bob, who had a heart as big as Phoenix .
She explained her
son's final wish and
Asked if it might be
possible to give her 6 year-old son a ride around the block on a fire engine.
Fireman Bob said,
"Look, we can do better than that. If you'll have your son ready at seven
o'clock We dnesday morning, we'll make him an honorary
Fireman for the whole
day. He can come down to the fire station, eat with us, go out on all the fire
calls, the whole nine yards! And if
you'll give us his sizes, we'll get a real fire uniform
for him, with a real
fire hat - not a toy --
one-with the emblem
of the Phoenix Fire Department on it, a yellow slicker like we wear and rubber
boots."
"They're all
manufactured right here in Phoenix , so we can get them fast."
Three days later
Fireman Bob picked up Billy, dressed him in his uniform and escorted him from
his hospital bed to the waiting hook and ladder truck.
Billy got to sit on
the back of the truck and help steer it back to the fire station.
He was in heaven.
There were three fire
calls in Phoenix that day and Billy got to go out on all three calls.
He rode in the
different fire engines, the Paramedic's' van, and even the fire chief's car.
He was also
videotaped for the local news program.
Having his dream come
true,
with all the love and
attention that was lavished upon him, so deeply touched Billy, that he lived
three months longer than any doctor thought possible.
One night all of his
vital signs began to drop dramatically and the head nurse, who believed in the
hospice concept - that no one should die alone, began to call the family
members to the hospital.
Then she remembered
the day Billy had spent as a Fireman, so she called the Fire Chief and asked if
it would
be possible to send a
fireman in uniform to the hospital to be with Billy as he made his transition.
The chief replied,
"We can do better than that. We'll be there in five minutes.
Will you please do me
a favor?
When you hear the
sirens screaming and see the lights flashing, will you announce over the PA
system that there is not a fire?"
"It's the
department coming to see one of its finest members one more time.
And will you open the
window to his room?"
About five minutes
later a hook and ladder truck arrived at the hospital and extended its ladder
up to Billy's third floor open window--------
16 fire-fighters
climbed up the ladder into Billy's room.
With his mother's
permission, they hugged him and held him and told him how much they LOVED him.
With his dying
breath,
Billy looked up at
the fire chief and said,
"Chief, am I
really a fireman now?"
"Billy, you are,
and the Head Chief,
Jesus, is holding
your hand," the chief said
With those words,
Billy smiled and said,
"I know, He's
been holding my hand all day, and
The angels have been
singing.."
He closed his eyes
one last time.

It’s the earth’s greatest feature
From the beautiful talking parrots
To the rabbits which love carrots
Everything is done by our creator
Who is our permanent proprietor
The dinosaurs which lived long ago
Due to unsuitable situations faced outgo
But now even in suitable conditions
Many species are facing extinctions
Awareness should be ban hunting and poaching
Since everyone should play their role in nature’s enriching
We must plant more trees
Before the greenery totally flees
Think what will happen when
The trees are only nine or ten
Even if not for nature’s beauty
For ourselves at least we must do our duty
Let us save our nature
From its danger in future
We can make it happen
And our lives will brighten
Then Earth will become a heavenly place
And we will find happiness in every face

UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE

| UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE |
I
am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have recently completed my
college degree. The last class I had to take was Sociology. The
teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every
human being had been graced with. Her last project of the term was
called, "Smile." The class was asked to go out and smile at three
people and document their reactions. I am a very friendly person and
always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So, I thought this would
be a piece of cake, literally.
Soon
after we were assigned the project, my husband, my youngest son, and I
went out to McDonald's one crisp March morning. It was just our way
of sharing special playtime with our son. We were standing in line,
waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to
back away, and then even my husband did. I did not move an inch... an
overwhelming feeling of panic welled up inside of me as I turned to see
why they had moved.
As
I turned around I smelled a horrible 'dirty body' smell, and there
standing behind me were two poor homeless men. As I looked down at the
short gentleman, close to me, he was 'smiling'. His beautiful sky
blue eyes were full of God's Light as he searched for acceptance. He
said, 'Good day' as he counted the few coins he had been clutching.
The
second man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend. I
realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed
gentleman was his salvation.
I held my tears as I stood there with them. The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted. He
said, 'Coffee is all Miss' because that was all they could afford. (If
they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy
something. He just wanted to be warm).
Then
I really felt it - the compulsion was so great I almost reached out
and embraced the little man with the blue eyes. That is when I noticed
all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. I
smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more
breakfast meals on a separate tray. I
then walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a
resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the
blue-eyed gentleman's cold hand. He looked up at me, with tears in his
eyes, and said, 'Thank you.'
I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, 'I did not do this for you. God is here working through me to give you hope.' I
started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son. When I sat
down my husband smiled at me and said, 'That is why God gave you to
me, Honey, to give me hope..'
We
held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that only because of
the Grace that we had been given were we able to give. We are not
church goers, but we are believers. That day showed me the pure Light
of God's sweet love.
I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story in hand. I turned in 'my project' and the instructor read it. Then she looked up at me and said, 'Can I share this?' I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class. She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings and being part of God share this need to heal people and to be healed.

In
my own way I had touched the people at McDonald's, my son, the
instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I
spent as a college student.
I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn:
UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.
Much love and compassion is sent to each and every person who may read this and learn how to
LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS -
NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE.

it all but said nothing.
After lunch the next day, grandma said,"Dianne, let's wash the dishes." But Dianne said,"Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen." Then she whispered to him,"Remember the duck?" So Johnny did the dishes. The following day Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing. But Grandma said," I'm sorry but I need Dianne to help make supper." Dianne just smiled and said," Johnny told me he wanted to help you." She whispered again,"Remember the duck?" So Dianne went fishing and Johnny stayed home.
After several days of Johnny doing both his chores and Dianne's he finally couldn't stand it any longer. He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck. Gandma knelt down , gave him a hug, and said,"Sweetheart, I know, You see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing. But because I love you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how long you would let Dianne make a slave out of you."
Thought for the day and everyday thereafter:
Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done that the devil keeps throwing up in your face (lying, fear, hatred, bitterness, unforgiveness, etc).
You need to know that God was standing at the window and He saw the whole thing. He's just wondering how long you will let the devil make a slave out of you.
THE U IN JESUS
 |
| THE U IN JESUS |
God stuck U in the name of His Son.
And each time U pray, you'll see it's true,
You can't spell out JesUs and not include U.
You're a pretty big part of His wonderful name,
For U, He was born; that's why He came.
And His great love for U is the reason He died.
It even takes U to spell crUcified.
Isn't it thrilling and splendidly grand
He rose from the dead, with U in His plan?
The stones split away, the gold trUmpet blew,
and this word resUrrection is spelled with a U.
When JesUs left earth at His upward ascension,
He felt there was one thing He just had to mention.
"Go into the world and tell them it's true
That I love them all - Just like I love U."
So many great people are spelled with a U,
Don't they have a right to know JesUs too?
It all depends now on what U will do,
He'd like them to know,
But it all starts with U.
