FOR ANOTHER DAY!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

JUNE 21st, 2012

 

 

FOR ANOTHER DAY

 

 

For another day

I would say anything

I would do anything

I would promise anything

For another day

 

For another day of life

I would promise anything

And I would do my best

To keep that promise

For another day

 

For another day

With my Mom

For another day-with my dad

For another day

With my family

I would do anything

 

For another day

With my friends

For another day

For all mankind

I would say anything

I would promise anything

For another day

 

And I would do my best

To keep that promise

 

For God

For family

For my friends

For all people everywhere

 

I would promise anything

I would do anything

For life

For another day

 

FOR ANOTHER DAY

IT'S NOT EASY=TO BE A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST

 










IT'S NOT EASY

(TO BE A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST)


It wasn't easy

To be a follower of Christ

Two thousand years ago


In fact

It could cost you 

Your very life

And often did


TODAY-unless we are

In a foreign land

It is not likely to cost us

Our life


Yet it can cost us-

You and me-a great deal


“Peter began to say to Jesus,

'We have given up everything

And followed you'”                                                                      Mark 10:28


Today-it is MORE likely

To cost in terms

Of our finances

Or the TIME we devote

To our ministry


But what about

The less tangible ways

WHAT are the costs


Well we

Shouldn't be judging others

And we shouldn't be gossiping

About our neighbor


And we shouldn't be OVERLY CRITICAL

Of others or ourselves


And we shouldn't be RETURNING

Harsh words or hatred to others

WHEN they have mistreated us


So there are COSTS

To carrying the cross

Just as there were great costs

To Jesus and his disciples


“The BEGINNING of wisdom 

Is this:  GET WISDOM


Though it cost ALL you have-

GET UNDERSTANDING”                                                               Proverbs 4:7


IT'S NOT EASY

To be a FOLLOWER of Christ


“Then Jesus said to his disciples,

'WHOEVER wants to be

My disciple


MUST deny themselves

And TAKE UP the cross

And follow me


For whoever wants 

To SAVE their life

Will lose it


And whoever loses their life

For me

WILL FIND IT”                                                                                 Matthew 16:24-25


I found myself

I found MY LIFE

I found my PURPOSE

For living

In being a FOLLOWER of Christ


No-it has not been easy

It is a CONSTANT CHALLENGE

To KEEP God and Christ

Number ONE in your life


It's hard

To be a follower of Christ


And we are

NEVER going to be perfect at it

Maybe-not even good at it


But every day-

WE get a NEW OPPORTUNITY


A fresh opportunity

To be strengthened

By OUR FAITH

And by God's and Christ's GRACE

And by our community


To GROW CLOSER to God


Dear Lord-the REWARDS

Of your LOVE AND GRACE

Are worth the COST


In Jesus' name

A FATHER SHOULD BE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

JUNE 15th, 2012

 

 

A FATHER SHOULD BE

 

 

A father should be

A source of inspiration

For his child

 

A father should try

To be a sign of

Love, honesty, and hope

 

A father should be

Fun to be with

For his child

 

A father should be

A disciplinarian

For his child-when he has to be

 

A father should know

That more than

The material things

He brings his family

It’s the intrinsic values

That he teaches children

That are most important

 

A father should know

He will fall short

From time to time

 

Most of all

A father should know

That we love him

No matter what

And it is up to his children

To tell him so

 

Happy Father’s Day!

Ps        “Honor your father and your mother

             So that you may live long

             In the land your God

             Is giving you”                                                    Exodus 20:12

 

            “A father to the fatherless

              A defender of widows

              Is God in his holy dwelling”                                  Psalm 68:5

 

            “This, then, is how you should pray:

            

                    Our Father in heaven

                    Hallowed be your name……………”                   Matthew 6:9

 

THE FATHER OF US ALL=SAINT JOSEPH

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE FATHER OF US ALL---SAINT JOSEPH

 

He was

The Father of all Fathers

The Father of Jesus

Our Lord

 

The angel of the Lord

Appeared to Joseph

 

“Do not be afraid

To take Mary as your wife

Because what is conceived in her

Is from the Holy Spirit”

 

Are you serious Lord

 

Could you imagine

How you would react

How I would react

How anyone would react

To this---in today’s world

 

Joseph was a righteous man

He did not want

To expose Mary to public disgrace

So he stood by her

 

Then the angel

Told Joseph

To take the child and Mary---to Egypt

And he did this too

 

He was

A carpenter by trade

And as his human Father---

Along with Mary

Was responsible for developing the human traits and character

Of Jesus

 

Our Saint Joseph

A man of righteousness

A man of honor and faith

The Patron Saint of Fathers

 

Our Saint Joseph

Who stood tall

In the midst

Of it all

 

Our Saint Joseph

The Father of the Holy Family

Our Saint Joseph

The Father of the Universal Church

 

Our Saint Joseph

THE FATHER OF US ALL

A PERSON=NOT A NUMBER

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

JUNE 20th, 2012

 

 

A PERSON---NOT A NUMBER

 

 

You are a person

Not a number

You are a person

To be loved

 

Maybe not

To this world

But to God

 

God knows

Every inch of you

It is said

He even knows

The number

Of hairs

On your head

 

So when

This world

Gets you down

Remember

You are a person

With dignity

You are a person

Worthy of respect

 

God loves you infinitely

 

You are a person

Not a number

ONE IN A MILLION YOU

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

JUNE 18th, 2012

 

 

ONE IN A MILLION YOU

 

 

I read the newspaper today

It says

That child-abuse is over-stated

It says the child-abuse statistics

Are over-inflated

 

Even if that is true

What if you are

The one that

It happened to

 

What if the one-in-a-million

Is you

 

One-in-a-million you

Has your life been destroyed

Can you recover

From this tragedy

Can you build a life

 

We pray for

The one-in-a million-you

 

We love

The one-in-a-million-you

Ps      “It would be better for him

           To be thrown into the sea

           With a millstone tied around his neck

           Than for him to cause

           One of these little ones to sin

           So watch yourselves”                                              Luke 17:2 & 3

 

          “Unless the Lord BUILDS the house

           Its builders labor in vain”                                           Psalm 127:1
