MARY-the BLESSED Mother

 

 

Mary was a woman

Of pure grace

She said yes

When all others

Would have said no

 

She had

The faith in God

To say yes

When all other

Would have said no

 

Today-Mary-on your birthday

We thank you

For your faith

We thank you

For your pure grace                                                            

And most of all

 

We thank you

For saying yes

Ps        HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARY!

 

The coming birth of Jesus is foretold by an angel to Mary

 

“How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am

A virgin?”

 

“The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you

And the power of the Most High will overshadow you

 

So the holy one to be born will be called SON OF GOD

Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child

In her old age

And she who was said to barren

Is in her sixth month

 

FOR NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD.”

 

“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered,

May it be to me as you have said”

 

Then the angel left her”                                                        Luke 1:34-38

YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD

 

 

 

 

 

 

SEPTEMBER 7^th, 2012

 

 

YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD

 

 

I once belonged to a church

In Miami

The minister there

Was quite a good guy

 

One day

I went into his office

And I told him

What I thought my life meant

SPIRITUALLY SPEAKING

 

He was quite patient

And listened

To my whole story

 

He did

A number of things for me

Including running a poem of mine,

“THE IMPORTANCE OF ONE PERSON”

In the church paper

 

Due to illness and moving

I had been away from the church

For a couple of years

When I went back

And went to communion

 

He said

As he handed me the host,

 

“REMEMBER-You are

A CHILD OF GOD”

 

As we ALL are DR. REES

 

DR. REES

This one is for you

Ps       “The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit

             That we are GOD’S CHILDREN”                                     Romans 8:16

 

           “How great is the love

             The Father has lavished on us

             That we should be called CHILDREN OF GOD

             And that is what we are

             The reason the world does not know us

             Is that it did NOT know him”                                           1 John 3:1

THE GOOD NEWS

 

In an Anne Murray song

Some 30 years ago or so

Ann sang,

“We sure could use

A little good news today”

 

Do you ever feel that way

That you could use a little good news

TODAY

 

I know that I do

 

In Mark I                                                              Mark 14 & 15

After John was arrested

Jesus said,

“The time has come

The Kingdom of God is near

Repent and believe the good news”

 

In this hopeless world

That we live in

 

I think that that is good news

That God is as near

As our hearts

As alive---as we let him be

Within us

 

“Taste and see

That the Lord is good

Blessed is the man

Who takes refuge in him”                                          Psalm 34:8

 

The good news

Is that God is alive

In today’s world

Living inside of his believers

Inside of those

Who choose to live by LOVE

And the values of God

 

“Trust in the Lord

And do good

Dwell in the land

And enjoy safe pasture

 

Delight yourself in the Lord

And he will give you

The desire of your heart”                                              Psalm  33:3-4

 

We sure could use

A little good news today

 

“Come follow Me”                                                           Mark 1:17

 

So the next time

That you watch

The morning or evening news

 

And you see stories of murder, rape, child abuse,

And Lord knows what else

 

                          REMEMBER

 

You are a CHILD OF GOD

A God that loves each of us individually---

ALL of collectively

With a never-ending---ever-lasting love

An unconditional love

That nothing and NO ONE can take away

 

The good news is as close

As our own heart

 

BELIEVE THE GOOD NEWS

SURRENDERING OUR SOULS=THIS LABOR DAY WEEKEND 2026

 

FINDING GOD IN SURRENDERING

( OUR SOULS THIS LABOR DAY WEEKEND 2026)

We are all BATTLING something

In this often

Difficult world

Depression-Addiction-PAIN-and just

STRIVING to FIND God

In this sometimes

God FORSAKEN world

We often FIND GOD

When we least expect him

When we give up on

Our efforts and just LET HIM

Come and find us

“Therefore=let us strive

To enter into that REST

So that no one may fall

After the same example

Of disobedience”                                                                                             Hebrews 4:11

We WANT to find God

We want to search and seek

But we don't always

Want to give up

OUR disobedience

OFTEN our God

Will find us

If we just stop

And REST

If we just

SURRENDER our own personal will

To GOD

SURRENDERING to find God

In rest

“Truly my soul

Finds REST in God

My salvation

COMES from him”                                                                                     Psalm 62:1

“The SPIRIT of the Lord

Will REST on him

The Spirit of wisdom

And understanding

The Spirit of counsel

And of might

The Spirit of the knowledge

And fear of the Lord--------------------”                                                                 Isaiah 11:2

“........for anyone

Who enters GOD'S REST

Also RESTS from their works

Just as God

Did from his”                                                                                                           Hebrews 4:10

Sometimes even SURRENDERING

To God can become

Hard work

Sometimes we have to WORK

To strive for a willingness

To SURRENDER 

And when we STOP working

Either from failure-exhaustion-

Or whatever

We will FIND that

God FINDS US=when

We are at rest

“YES my soul=

Finds REST in God

My hope 

Comes from him”                                                                                                          Psalm 62:5

“This is what the

Lord says=

'STAND at the crossroads

And look-

Ask for the ancient paths

Ask where

The GOOD WAY is

And walk in it

And you will FIND REST

For your souls........'”                                                                                             Jeremiah 6:16

PEACE comes from exhaustion

From SURRENDERING to God=

When he finds us

We can TRUST the Lord

Even when our own

Efforts FAIL 

Saint Paul tells

The HEBREW people

“Therefore a SABBATH REST

Still remains

For the PEOPLE OF GOD”                                                                                       Hebrews 4:9

In Jesus' name and in the name of our ALL LOVING FATHER

“No one=Can SERVE two masters=Either you will hate the one=and LOVE the other=Or you will

Be devoted to the one=and despise the other=YOU CANNOT SERVE=

Both God and money”                                                                                                                             Mathew 6:24

“SERVE WHOLEHEARTEDLY=as if you were=SERVING the Lord=not people=Because you know

That the LORD=Will reward each one=For whatever GOOD they do=Whether they are slave=

Or free”                                                                                                                                                             Ephesians 6:7-8

 

We may NOT DO=great miracles=For they are the FATHER’S and Jesus’s job=But we STILL have a

Part to do=IN THE HEALING=of this world=With our EVER so small acts of LOVE=For others=For

Mother Teresa herself said=”In this LIFE=We CANNOT do great things=We can ONLY DO=

SMALL THINGS=with great LOVE”
