be gone
forever; in its place is something that you
have left behind...let
it be something good. Author Unknown

An Angel kissed my tears away
today when I was sad
I wasn't feeling quite myself
my day had been so bad
I felt a warmth brush by me
that quickly dried my tears
A gentle, kind, and loving touch
that seemed to hold me near.
Immediately, I felt so much better
and the day seemed brighter too
I guess that's just the way you feel
when an Angel comforts you.

Our principles, our guidelines, we use them all
each day.
The Angel friends who gave them help us to
show the way,
To God who is our Father, who loves us all
He can.
And we should love each other - the Brotherhood
of Man.
We have a sweet communion with Spirit friends
above.
The ministry of Angels, who always come with
love.
They guide us and they teach us, on them we
can rely.
Our souls live on forever, for we will never
die.
Each person is responsible for how they live
their life.
Your retribution you will gain, for evil and
for strife.
Pure Love and Truth and Goodness we all should
strive towards.
The loving compensations will be your just
reward.
We know eternal progress each human soul will
gain,
If we adopt these principles and from all ill
refrain.
Interpret them with liberty, be logical and
true.
Your Angel guides and helpers will always be
with you.
Angel's are often sent from the heavens up
above,
To guide us and protect us with unsuspecting
love
Others are planted - here- on earth for
us to see, and
Walk us down life's pathways -where ever
they may lead
They help us with decisions, we must make
along the way
And wake us with little kisses at the dawn
of each new day
They're always right beside us to help us
though the night
Our very own guardian angel our little
guiding light.
They make us smile with their laughter
They wash away our pain
So if you ever need to call on one ( mother
) is her name
God made the world
with its towering trees
Majestic mountains
and restless seas
Then paused and said,
"
It needs one more thing
Someone to laugh and dance and sing
To walk in the woods and gather flowers
To commune with nature in quiet hours."
So God made little girls
With laughing eyes and bouncing curls
With joyful hearts and infectious smiles
Enchanting ways and feminine smiles,
And when He'd completed
the task He'd begun
He was pleased and proud
of the job He'd done
For the world, when seen
through a little girl's eyes
Greatly resembles Paradise.

Sleep little baby and dream.
As you do,
God's little angels
will watch over you.
And though you are new
and too tiny to pray,
God's gentle love
Will be with you each day.
I'm just a little hankie
As square as square can be
But with a small stitch or two
A bonnet I will be.
I'll be worn from the hospital
Or on my christening day
And after that be folded
Then carefully put away.
When on that future wedding day
So we've been always told
The well dressed bride must always
Wear something that is old.
So what could be more fitting
Then to find little me
And with a few fine stitches snipped
A wedding hankie be.
And if perchance it's a boy
Someday he'll surely wed
Then his bride can have the hankie
Once worn upon his head.
author unknown
A special little hanky
Of cotton pure and white
Becomes a blessing bonnet
When stitched and fashioned right.
Once worn upon a precious head
Then carefully tucked away
With stitches freed, is used again
For good luck on the wedding day.
May all the blessing of our Lord touch your life today...May He send His little angels to protect you on your way...Such a wee little fit, sent from above...Someone so precious to cherish and love...May sunshine and moonbeams dance over you head...As you quietly slumber in your bed...May good luck be with you wherever you go...And your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow.
"
Welcome, Little One! May strong arms hold you
Caring hearts tend you and may love await you at
every step."
This little tiny baby
Was sent from God above
To fill our hearts with happiness
And touch our lives with love
He must have known
We'd give our all
And always do our best
To give our precious baby love
And be grateful and so blessed
Precious one,
So small,
So sweet
Dancing in
on angel feet
Straight from Heaven's
brightest star
What a miracle
you are!
God made the world out of His dreams
Of magic mountains, oceans and streams,
Prairies and plans and wooded land,
Then paused and thought “I need someone to
stand
On top of mountains, to conquer the seas,
Explore the plains and climb the trees.
Someone to start out small and to grow,
Sturdy, strong as a tree…” And so,
He created boys, full of spirit and fun,
To explore and conquer, to romp and run.
With dirty faces and banged up chins,
With courageous hearts and boyish grins.
When He had completed the task He’d begun
He surely said “A job well done”
You’re a chosen child. You’re ours,
but not by birth. But just the same, we feel. You’re
the greatest child on earth. You’re a chosen
child send down from God above. Chosen to fill our
home with laughter and love. You’re a chosen
child. You’ve given us so much pleasure. Chosen
above the rest. A precious, priceless treasure.
My Mother kept a garden,
a garden of the heart,
She planted all the good things
that gave my life it's start.
She turned me to the sunshine
and encouraged me to dream,
Fostering and nurturing
the seeds of self-esteem...
And when the winds and rain came,
she protected me enough--
But not too much because she knew
I'd need to stand up strong and tough.
Her constant good example
always taught me right from wrong--
Markers for my pathway
that will last a lifetime long.
I am my Mother's garden.
I am her legacy-
And I hope today she feels the love
reflected back from me

Cleaning and cooking can wait 'till tomorrow
For babies grow up, as we've learned to our sorrow.
So quiet down cobwebs, dust go to sleep,
I'm rocking my baby, and babies don't keep.
I just want to let you know you mean the world to me. Only a heart as dear as your would give so unselfishly. The many things you’ve done. All the times that you were there. Help me know deep down inside how much you really care. Even though I might not say, I appreciate al you do. Richly blessed is how I feel, having a brother like you.
I’m so thankful I have a brother like you to count on. I know you’ll always be there with open arms if I need a hug, and an open mind if I need someone to understand. I’m so glad that I can myself around you. You know my qualities and my faults and you love me just the same. I’m so proud to have a brother like you …. Not just for what you have accomplished, but for who you are. I’m so lucky to have you to talk and laugh with… to reminisce and make new memories with. I can’t tell you how much it means to have a brother like you. You’re one of the most important people in my life. I love you. Thanks for being a brother like you.

1. If I can cheer some lonely heart; As down through
life I go. And plant a little spark of hope; In
some sad heart to glow. And think my life worth
while; If by some word or deed of mine, is born
a sunny smile.
If I can find some kindly deed; That my weak hands
can do. To lift the burden of someone; That's long
been sad and blue. I could forget my burdens Lord;
And smile beneath my cross. If I can only point the
way; to
others who are lost.
If I could only rub some balm; on all the broken
hearts. The peace and happiness I've found; To others
could impart. Then all my shackles Lord, would fall
and I would be so free; And the smiles that I from
others win, I will dedicate to thee.

Give unto us, Oh God we pray; The strength we need
from day to day. Help us to be strong brave and true;
Oh guide us Lord in all we do.
May we our needs to thee confess; Look down Oh Lord,
we pray and bless. Keep thou our hearts within thy
clasp; Until our span of life has passed.
Hear then the prayer for those we love; And guide
their lives from up above. Give them the faith to
face each task; All this we humbly in thy name ask.
We give thee thanks for all life's worth; For joy
for work for happy mirth. For strength and love and
thee to praise; For thy sweet guidance through our
day.
And now Oh Lord again we pray; Bless thou our lives
from day to day. Oh keep us ever in thy hand; And
lead us to that promise land.
God bless the friend who overlooks;
The many faults in me.
Who loves me for myself;
And for the things I could be.
Whose tender heart and thoughtful ways;
Add so much pleasure to my days.
God bless the friends who see my needs;
And reaches out a hand.
Who lifts me up, who prays for me;
And helps me understand.
Who shares my problems come what may;
Who's always there from day to day.
God bless the friend, who laughs with me;
And make the Sun to shine.
Who helps me see life's goodness;
And the blessing that are mine.
That friendship is a special part;
Of all that's precious to my heart.
If there is nothing Lord; That I
can do for thee today. May I be careful not to
stand; Where I block
another's way. For thy fields are white with harvest;
And the laborers are few. Teach me not to hinder
others; When there's nothing I can do.
If I harvest strength Dear Lord; To reap as I have
dreamed. May I be content to walk; Behind with Ruth
and gleam. For there are many fallen ones; Along
the road of life. Who need someone to lift them up;
And point them to the right.
Just keep my heart in tune with thee; That I may
know thy will. Whither I'm called to serve Lord;
Or caution to be still. Just make my life a channel;
Through which thy love may flow. To light the way
for others; As down though life I go.
We thank the Lord, for the glad new
year; With it's pages so fair and white. And as
we crass each spotless
page; Guide thou our steps aright.
Each day a new leaf is turned; A record of which
we make. And may there be some golden deeds; Among
our vast mistakes.
May we strive each day to do; Some deed of love for
thee. For when the book at last is sealed; No chance
there will be.
By our deeds we'll be judged by and by; When our
record is read in the end. Tis the good deeds that
will justify; But the bad ones that will condemn.
May we a better record make; In ninety eight for
thee. And lay more trophies at thy feet; Of souls,
we've won for thee.
Let us be grateful
for the capacity to see, feel, hear, and understand.
Let us be grateful for this incredible gift of life.
Let us be especially grateful
for the ties of love which bind us together,
giving dignity, meaning, worth and joy to all our
days.
This is indeed a day which the Lord has made.
Let us rejoice in it and be glad,
and let us count our many blessings.
~ By St. Francis of Assisi ~
Lord, make
us instruments of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let us sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is discord, union;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, Grant that we may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Take time to pray ....And it helps
to bring God near ....And washes the dust of earth
from your eyes.
Take time for friends ....And they are the source
of happiness
Take time for work ....And it is the price of success.
Take time to think ....And it is the source of power.
Take time to read ....And it is the foundation of
knowledge.
Take time to laugh ....And it is the singing that
helps with life's loads.
Take time to love ....And it is the one sacrament
of life.
Take time to dream ....And it hitches the soul to
the stars.
Take time to play ....And it is the secret of youth.
Take time to worship ....And it is the highway to
reverence.
This morning when I awakened;
And saw the Sun above. I softly said, Good
morning Lord; Bless
everyone
I love.
Right away I thought of you; And said a loving
Prayer. That He would bless you specially; And
keep you free
from Care.
I thought of all the Happiness; A day could hold
in store. I wished it all for you, because; No
one deserves it more.
I felt so warm and good inside; My heart was
all aglow. I know God heard my prayers for you;
He
hears them all you know.

My life is but a weaving, between my God and me,
I do not choose the colors, He worketh steadily.
Oft times he weaveth sorrow, and I in foolish pride
Forget He sees the upper, and I the underside.
Not till the loom is silent, and the shuttles cease
to fly,
Will God unroll the canvas, and explain the reasons
why
The dark threads are as needful in the skillful weaver's
hand
As threads of gold and silver in the pattern He has
planned.
He knows, He loves, He cares,
Nothing this truth can dim.
He gives His very best to those
Who leave the choice with Him.
Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled
Let not your soul be sad
Easter is a time of joy
When all hearts should be glad.
Glad to know that Jesus Christ
Made it possible for men
To have their sins forgiven
And, like Him, to live again.
So at this joyous season
May the wondrous Easter Story
Renew our Faith so we may be
Partakers of "His Glory!"
~Helen Steiner Rice (For your reading pleasure only.)
Dear Lord, it's such a hectic day,
With little time to stop and pray,
For life's been anything but calm,
Since you called on me to be a mom.
Running errands, matching socks,
Building dreams with building blocks.
Cooking, cleaning, and finding shoes,
And other stuff that children lose.
Fitting lids on bottled bugs,
Wiping tears and giving hugs.
A stack of last week's mail to read,
So where's the quiet time I need?
Yet when I steal a minute Lord,
Just at the sink or ironing board,
To ask the blessings of your grace,
I see then in my small one's face,
That you have blessed me all the while,
As I stop to kiss that precious smile.

Mama's Bible, so ragged and worn,
Its pages are scribbled, ripped and torn.
Its been around for ages, she's had it for years,
Some pages smudged by rain and some by her tears
The name on the cover is faded, it's true.
There might be a page missing, or two.
To look at that book one might scoff and frown
They may say, "Why, there's no use in keeping
it around.
" A new Bible, I'm certain, is what you must need,
With pages so perfect, and pictures indeed."
But friends, I know better and I'm here to persuade'
There's more in that ol' book, more than I can say.
For she read it and held it so close to her heart,
Its Knowledge and Wisdom and Love to impart.
She held it so tightly, through storm and through
chill,
But ever much closer when her children were ill.
Her faith can be seen on each page and each line,
Her writings of love time after time.
She carried it high through thick and through thin,
So proud of the holy scriptures contained within.
Of all of the treasures in this world we can hold,
The Bible of mom so ragged and old.
Is far more precious than any other,
For it was given to her by her dear mother.
No memory is more precious, none that I hold so dear,
When the storms of my life bring me much fear
The vision of mother, the love on her face . . .
I remember when mama would sing "Amazing Grace"!
Who can find a virtuous woman? for
her price is far above rubies.
Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall
rejoice in time to come.
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue
is the law of kindness.
She looketh well to the ways of her household,
and eateth no the bread of idleness.
Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her
husband also, and he praiseth her.
Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest
them all.
Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman
that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
Give her the fruit of her hands; and let her own
works praise her in the gates.- Proverbs 31: 10, 25-31
Up Calvary's mountain one dreary
morn,
Trudged Christ our Savior weary and worn.
They came to the mount, the place of the skull.
It was there Jesus paid our debt in full.
As He hung on the cross and died a cruel death,
He said, "Father, forgive them," and with
a fleeting breath,
It was finished and as Jesus gave up His ghost
A victor's song was sung by a heavenly host.
Jesus was laid to rest in a borrowed tomb
But the grave couldn't hold Him, there was no room.
He arose, He arose, let's praise His sweet name.
He loves us so; we're the reason He came.
Salvation is free, it is a gift from above.
God gave us His son because of His love
He bought us, redemed us and set us all free.
As He gave His life there on Calvary.
...Sara McGinty (For your reading pleasure only.)
Red is for the blood He gave,
Green is for the grass He made,
Yellow is for the sun so bright,
Orange is for the edge of night.
Black is for the sins that were made,
White is for the grace He gave,
Purple is for the hour of sorrow,
Pink is for the new tomorrow.
A bag full of Jelly beans,
Colorful and sweet,
Is a Prayer...is a promise...
Is an Easter treat!

Giving you strength to carry you through.
Ask for His guidance as you live each day
Trusting in Him to show you the way;

Bringing you joy through God's perfect peace.

God must have known there would be times
We'd need a word of cheer
Someone to praise a triumph
Or brush away a tear.
He must have known we'd need to share
The joy of "little things"
In order to appreciate
The happiness life brings.
I think he knew our troubled hearts
Would sometimes throb with pain
At trials and misfortunes
Or some goals we can't attain.
He knew we'd need the comfort
Of an understanding heart
To give us strength and courage
To make a fresh, new start.
He knew we'd need companionship
Unselfish...lasting...true,
And so God answered the heart's great need
With a CHERISHED FRIEND....like you.
We said a prayer for you today
and know God must’ve heard,
We felt the answer in our hearts
although He spoke no words.
We didn’t ask for wealth or fame,
We knew you wouldn’t mind.
We asked him to send treasures
of a far more lasting kind.
We asked that he be near you
at the start of each new day.
To grant you health & blessings
and friends to share your way.
We asked for happiness for you,
In all things great and small.
But it was for His loving care,
we asked the most of all!"

We do not see the wind,
We only hear a sigh:
It makes the grasses bend,
Whenever it goes by.
We do not see God's love,
But in our hearts we know,
He watches over us,
Wherever we may go.
We do not have to see
To know the wind is here;
We do not have to see
To know God's love is near.

this home be filled with joy in the morning and sweet
dreams in the night. May it be a home where love has
come to live…. where Jesus Christ is Lord.
26. Untitled Poem
For every single child of God,
there is a secret place
where we can go to hide and pray,
and seek our Father's face.
A place where no one else can tread
where no one else can go,
we find there grace and solitude,
and peace for our weary soul.
We fold our hands and close our eyes,
as we kneel before the Lord,
in the closet of our mind we step,
inside and close the door.
We pray according to His will,
and ask in Jesus' name,
we know our Father hears us,
for His Word says just the same.
We ask the Lord to heal the sick,
to bless the broken hearted,
have mercy on the sinner's soul,
and peace to the just departed.
We pray "dear Lord please hear my cry!,
I'm praying now for others,
I've never seen or met them but,
they're my sisters and my brothers.
And Lord you know the special need,
that binds their lives today,
please bless them Lord and heal them all,
In Jesus' name we pray.
And for the ones unsaved Oh Lord,
we pray a special prayer,
please lead and guide and keep them,
in your tender loving care.
Lord send them Heaven's Angels
to soften their hearts of stone,
and give them peace inside Lord,
and save their precious souls.
And for the ones who hate you
with bitterness and disdain,
who curse their very souls Lord,
when they take your name in vain.
We pray Lord please have mercy,
and shower them with grace,
forgive them of their sins Lord,
In Jesus' name we pray.
And Father pave the way for me,
to touch someone today,
to help them come to know you,
in that very special way.
That you loved the world so much you gave,
your Son on the cross to die,
that you wish for no one to perish,
but for all everlasting life.
We pray for the ones who pray for those,
who have a special need,
we ask you Lord to bless them all,
As they pray on bended knee.
In the lives of those they're praying for,
we ask you to provide,
all things the soldiers ask in prayer,
please hear their humble cry.
In Jesus' name we ask today,
according to Thy perfect will,
doubting not we now believe
as we give we shall receive.
Thank you Father for your Love,
your Mercy and your Grace,
thank you for this time of prayer,
to seek your righteous face.
We praise you Lord and love you,
we glorify your Holy name,
and we thank you Holy Spirit,
we're so joyful that you came.
Now as we go about our way,
let us share the joy you give,
let us sing with happy heart and soul,
within us your Spirit lives.
We ask according to thy will,
In Jesus' name we send,
this prayer to you on angels' wings,
Amen Oh Lord Amen.

There is a season for everything,
a time for every occupation under heaven.
A time for giving birth, A time for dying,
A time for planting, A time for uprooting what
has been planted.
A time for killing, A time for healing;
A time for knocking down, A time for building.
A time for tears, A time for laughter;
A time for mourning, A time for dancing.
A time for throwing stones away, A time for gathering
them up;
A time for embracing, A time to refrain from embracing.
A time for searching, A time for losing;
A time for keeping. A time for throwing away.
A time for tearing, A time for sewing;
A time for keeping silent, A time for speaking.
A time for loving, A time for hating;
A time for war, A time for peace.
(Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)
Guardian Angel from heaven so bright,
Watching beside me to lead me aright,
Fold thy wings round me, and guard me with love,
Softly sing songs to me of heaven above. Amen.
Let not your hearts be troubled;
believe in God, believe also in me.
In my father's house are many rooms;
if it were not so, would I have told you
that I go to prepare a place for you?
And when I go and prepare a place
for you, I will come again
and I will take you to myself,
that where I am you may be also.
John 14: 1-3
God grant me the Serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change,
Courage to change
the things I can,
And Wisdom to know
the difference.
So far today I've done all right.
I haven't gossiped,
haven't lost my temper,
haven't been greedy,
grumpy, nasty, selfish
or over-indulgent.
I'm very thankful for that.
But in a few minutes, Lord,
I'm going to get out of bed.
From then on,
I'm probably going to,
need a lot of help.
Amen

32. Dear God, please send me somebody who'll care!
I'm so tired of running and sick with despair. My
body is aching and filled with such pain; And dear
God I pray, as I run in the rain That someone will
love me and give me a home, A warm cozy bed, and
food of my own. My last owner left me alone in the
yard... I watched as they moved, and God that was
hard. So I waited a while, then went on my way To
rummage in garbage and live as a stray. But now,
God, I'm so tired and hungry and cold; And I'm so
afraid that I'll never grow old. They've chased me
with sticks and hit me with straps While I run the
streets just looking for scraps! I'm not really bad,
God, please help if you can, For I have become just
a "Victim of Man!" I'm wormy, dear God,
and I'm ridden with fleas; And all that I want is
an Owner to please! If you find one for me, God,
I'll try to be good. I won't scratch the carpet;
I'll do as I should. I'll love them, play with them,
and try to obey. I will be so grateful if they'll
let me stay! I don't think I'll make it too long
on my own, 'Cause I'm getting weak and I'm so all
alone. Each night as I sleep in the bushes I cry,
'Cause I'm so afraid, God, that I'm gonna die. I've
got so much love and devotion to give That I should
be given a new chance to Live! So dear God, please
hear me, please answer my prayer, And send me somebody
who will REALLY care.
33. The Lord bless thee and keep thee, the Lord
make his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious
unto
thee: the Lord lift up His countenance upon thee,
and give thee peace. Numbers 6:24-26KJ
34. The Lord delights in the way of the man whose
steps He has made firm; though he stumble, he will
not fall, for the Lord upholds him with His hand.
Psalm 37:23
35. They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their
strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles.
They shall run and not be weary and they shall
walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31
May all the blessing of our Lord touch your life today...May He send His little angels to protect you on your way...Such a wee little fit, sent from above...Someone so precious to cherish and love...May sunshine and moonbeams dance over you head...As you quietly slumber in your bed...May good luck be with you wherever you go...And your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow.

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,
He called it ... Dad

who is loving and kind,
And often he knows
what you have on your mind.
He's someone who listens,
suggests, and defends.
A dad can be one
of your very best friends!
He's proud of your triumphs,
but when things go wrong,
A dad can be patient
and helpful and strong

a dad's love plays a part.
There's always a place for him
deep in your heart.
And each year that passes,

More grateful and proud
just to call him your dad!
Thank you, Dad...
for listening and caring,
for giving and sharing,
but, especially, for just being you!
Happy Father's Day

Who believes you're always right,
And his ears are always open,
And he watches day and night;

For the little boy is waiting

In a kind and thoughtful way.

No matter what comes your way.

Our fathers toil with hands and heart
To make our lives complete.
They quietly brave the winter cold,
Endure the summer heat.
Our fathers' lives are busy, but
There's always time for us.
They boldly face the ups and downs
And seldom ever fuss.
Our fathers are the greatest dads.
We know you know this, too.
But thank you for the chance to share
Our love for them with you.
~Author Unknown~
Fathers can
be solitary mountains,
All their love rock-like, steep, and strong.
Though warm and caring, somehow they belong
Halfway home to mothers' bubbling fountains.
Each of us needs love that knows no quarter,
Reminding us of bonds that cross a border,
Strengthening our sense of right and wrong
