Wishing a happy and blessed Father’s Day to all men with children, father figures, mentors, teachers, leaders, and all those who protect, care for, support, and love others unconditionally, as our Father in Heaven loves each one of us!

Jesus Speaks of the Father

And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?”
–Luke 2:49 (NKJV)

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
–Matthew 6:33 (NKJV)

For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
–Matthew 12:50 (NKJV)

Unconditional Love – Lyrics

Refrain:
Unconditional love as the Father above,
Means no expectations of what you receive.
Unconditional love as a child of the One,
Means showing compassion and faith to believe.
And the Father is giving, providing and living
Unconditional love through you and me.

1. Let us love with His heart
And do our holy part.
When we reach out our hands,
Let the Father take command.
Refrain:

2. Let us love with His mind
And seek Him till we find.
When we speak any Word,
Let the Father’s voice be heard.
Refrain:

3. Let us love with His soul,
Eternal, pure and whole.
When we fill someone’s need,
Let it be the Father’s deed.
Refrain:

The Father’s Child

Father of All

Posted on by

I recognize that God is the creator and father of all. Made in his image, I am a child of light, love, and peace. God is perfect, and I am a child of perfection.

I meditate daily, bringing my awareness to the truth that in the mind of God, the father and I are already one. Only in the personal ego am I alone, limited, lacking, and separate from God. By giving up my personal ego to the father within me, all sense of isolation disappears.

My consciousness is transformed by the indwelling Power and Presence of God. In this state of Christ mind, my life expresses the perfect Will of my Father who sent me. I pray as Christ taught: Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

As above, so below. And in His grace I am perfect, even as my father in heaven is perfect. For He is the only true power, source, and presence in my life. Of myself, I am nothing.

I give thanks that I am a child of God, the father of all. And so it is. Amen.

Our Bless-ed Friendship

Posted on by

What a bless-ed friendship
The Lord has given us!
Ev’ry day I thank Him
For this gift from above.

We have understanding,
And something we both know
Is that, whatever happens,
We will always have love.

The Lord has given some gifts
That one can see and hear.
But friendship is a gift, too,
That we should all hold dear.

Thus, when you’re feeling lonely
And think that no one cares,
Remember our great friendship:
It will always be there.

From Loving You

I wrote this song when I was 17, after breaking up with my first boyfriend. Years later, after a marriage and divorce and soon to re-marry, I realize the profound truth in this song. Just because a relationship ends, doesn’t mean it was a failure, or that it was all bad. Good things can come out of the very worst circumstances and the most difficult times, just like the Phoenix rising from the ashes or the beautiful lotus blossom growing in the mud.

I pray that you, too, have learned from previous relationships, and that you carry those positive things into your next one!

For spiritual support with this or anything else, send me a confidential
prayer request.

From Loving You – Lyrics

1. I loved you once and thought you were the one,
But time proved otherwise, you see.
And when we parted, I thought I was done.
And yet I came away with things.
And
Refrain:

2. From you I learned to always think of things
Before I go and make mistakes.
You taught me patience and what true love is,
And that is why I’m here to say
That
Refrain: (2x)

Oh I am grateful for our time of love.

Refrain:
With the things I learned from loving you,
I can make another’s dream come true.
With the things I learned from loving you,
I know I’ll be better off.
With the things I learned from loving you,
I can make another’s dream come true.
And so I’m grateful for our time of love.

1. O God bless the Internet.
This world can’t live without it.
With high speed service we forget
The reason that we found it.
Refrain:

2. There’s videos and games on phones,
Our hands and eyes upon it.
We gotta call the One who’s closer
Than the electronics.
Refrain:

3. There’s tons of sharing going on,
But how much are we saying?
Relationships have come and gone
For lack of love and praying.
Refrain:

4. O God bless the Internet.
There’s nothing wrong about it.
Let’s send our love with every text
And praise Him that we found it.
Refrain: (2x)

Refrain:
We upload, we download,
And it’s easy to believe.
But let’s unplug and thank Him
For the blessings we receive.

Gather Ye Rosebuds

Posted on by

You gather my ghosts and get my goat.
You yank my chain and rock my boat.
You push my buttons, steal my heart,
You burst my bubble, make your mark.
The best I never bargained for,
I’d sell the farm to just be yours.

Happy Mother’s Day to all moms and female role models, mentors, and mother figures!

Each of us is someone’s baby – and we are all children of our Creator. Remember that as you enjoy this lullaby.

1. Baby so small
And new to it all,
This world is a big place to be.
Baby, you’re safe,
And softly I pray,
Let my baby sleep.
Refrain:

2. Baby of light,
I hold you at night,
For Jesus has sent you to me.
Baby, have faith,
Remember to pray,
Let my baby sleep.
Refrain:

3. Baby, through years
Of laughter and tears,
The Savior is guiding your feet.
Baby, still safe
In the Spirit that prays,
Let my baby sleep.
Refrain:

Let Him, let you,
Never forget to
Let my baby sleep.

Refrain:
OOO rest in His hands,
Trust in His plans,
Cradled and wrapped in His love.
Growing in grace,
Showing His face,
Child of the Heavens above.
Jesus who knows
The heart of your soul
Gives you His comfort and peace.
So let Him, let you,
Never forget to
Let my baby sleep.

Mother’s Day Thoughts and Blessings

Mother’s Day Thoughts and Blessing’s

by Frederick Douglass Grimes, III

Love and Peace to all of God’s children. With only four day’s until that special day we call Mother’s Day, I feel compelled to express my thought’s somehow. As far back as any of us can remember, there have always been Mother’s, most notably Mary Mother of Jesus. Now I would Imagine there are few Mother’s of this world who could come close to the mother of Jesus. But in any event, they still deserve our utmost respect and reverence.

For one, they are the one’s who brought us In to this world. Many children of the world are raised by adoptive parent’s, who most times do a much better job than the real one’s. But no child Is expected to be able to determine who their parent’s are, only hope and pray that they love us and hopefully are able to perform the task that they decided to bring upon themselves by either having us or taking us In.

Mother’s Day is by far one of the most respected day’s of the year, and rightfully so. Some of us are blessed enough to have Mother’s who make incredible sacrifices. But sad to say there are some who totally forget the meaning of the title mother. There are many reasons for this sad state of occurrences. But none of them can be blamed on the child, because he or she did not ask to be brought In to this world. There are also children and adults Who sad to say, through no fault of their own, have Mother’s, fathers, and also grandparents who don’t even recognize their own children or grandchildren due to many diseases. These are problems of the world that we have no control over, and only God has the answers.

What determines a good and decent child of God Is a person who can somehow rise above parents such as our mothers who might not treat us with the love, care, and respect that we certainly deserve. Being a true child of the Lord, not just In name only, we show our mother’s and whoever else the love and respect they deserve. At the end of the day, it makes us better human beings.

To all of those mothers who somehow cannot be with their children, because of circumstances that are out of their control, remember one thing. The Lord put mothers on this earth for a reason, and no child ever forgets to love their mothers, even If not with them In the human sense. But there Is and always will be a spiritual bond between them that will never be broken. Only the good Lord knows our future.

God bless all of the Mother’s of the world! And a very blessed happy Mother’s Day!

Sincerely,

The Blind Poet, Freddy G.

You’re the World to Me

1. I’d like to say that I can’t live without you,
But I did for such a long long time.
And ever since you came, you’ve been the center of my days
And kept me warm on so many nights.
Refrain:

2. I’d like to say we’ll always be together,
But in life there are no guarantees.
Oh you have changed my heart, right from the very start,
And you’re the hope that makes me believe.
Refrain:

3. I’d like to say that I will never hurt you,
But I’m human, not angel, it’s true.
But I can promise you this, I will give you my best,
And be better than I was to you.
Refrain:

Baby, you’re the world to me. (2x)

Refrain:
Oh I am just a woman,
And that’s all that I might ever be.
But maybe I can be the world to you,
‘Cause baby, you’re the world to me.

An Angel Named Crystal

Posted on by

God has sent an angel.
She’s with me every day.
God has sent an angel.
All I have to do is pray.
I feel her tears.
And she feels mine.
Now forevermore our lives are intertwined.
Two souls that have blended from the very start.
Forevermore our spirits shall never part.
