112223 In Tribute to J.F.K on the 60th Anniversary of his death...

60 years ago today our 35^th

President was assassinated

In Dallas, TX.

 

It was a tragic and sad day

In American history.

 

I have been to Dealey Plaza

As our family took a trip to

Dallas in 1973 to visit my

Uncle and Aunt who were

Living there at the time.

 

I have done considerable

Research on this event

And I do believe their was a

Conspiracy.

 

I was watching a documentary

The other night and they

Conveniently left out

Lee Harvey Oswald’s own

Comments that he was a “PATSY”

He was set up to take the fall

For the crime of the century!

 

- Hayden Childs

 

 

"If it can be done to John F. Kennedy in 1963,

It can be done to another president in the future.

And we can't afford to have coup d'etats in America,

No matter how cleverly orchestrated and sinisterly

Contrived they may be.

That cannot be permitted to happen.

And the way you prevent that from happening

Is to expose those elements of government and

Society in this country that was responsible

For the killing of John F. Kennedy."

- Dr. Cyril Wecht

 

 ***

Efforts and courage are not enough

Without purpose and direction.

- John Fitzgerald Kennedy

 

Liberty without learning

Is always in peril;

Learning without liberty

Is always in vain.

- John Fitzgerald Kennedy

 

For in the final analysis,

Our most basic common link,

Is that we all inhabit this small planet,

We all breathe the same air,

We all cherish our children’s futures,

And we are all mortal.

- John Fitzgerald Kennedy

 

All of us have in our veins

The exact same percentage

Of salt in our blood that

Exists in the ocean,

And therefore,

We have Salt in our blood,

In our sweat, in our tears.

We are tied to the ocean,

And when we go back to the sea…

Whether it is to sail or to watch it…

We are going back from

Whence we came.

- John Fitzgerald Kennedy

 

If the United States ever experiences

An attempt at a coup to overthrow

The government,

It will come from the CIA.

The agency represents a tremendous

Power and total un-accountability to 

Anyone.

- John Fitzgerald Kennedy

112223 Jesus is the World's Hope...

“Go in through the narrow door.

The door is wide and the road is easy

That leads to hell.

Many people are going through that door.

But the door is narrow and the road is hard

That leads to life that lasts forever.

Few people are finding it."

Matt.7:13-14

 

Alas, Alas, How Blind I’ve Been…

Alas! alas how blind I've been,
How little of myself I've seen!
Sportive I sailed the sensual tide,
Thoughtless of God whom I defied.

I heard of heaven, I heard of hell,
Where bliss and woe eternal dwell;
But mocked the threats of truth divine,
And scorned the place where angels shine.

My angry heart refused the blood
Of a descending, suffering God;
And guilty passion boldly broke
The holy law which heaven had spoke.

The alluring world controlled my choice,
When conscience spoke, I hushed its voice,
Securely laughed along the road,
Which hapless millions first had trod.

Now the almighty God comes near,
And makes me shake with awful fear;
His terrors all my strength exhaust,
My fear grows high, my peace is lost.

With keen remorse I feel my wound,
And seem to hear the dreadful sound,
"Depart from me, thou wretch undone,
Go reap thy sin, and fell my frown."

Thus ends my mirthful thoughtless life,
Filled up with folly, guilt and strife;
Perhaps I sink to endless pain,
Nor hear the voice of joy again.

- Nathan Strong

 

Jesus…

Don’t leave earth without Him!

111623 Prayer for Gratitude...

“I will give a gift of thanks to

You and call on the name of the Lord”.

Psalm 116:17

 

Forever on

Thanksgiving Day

The heart will find the

Pathway home.

- Wilbur D. Nesbit

 

An attitude of gratitude

Goes a long way when it

Comes to physical and

Emotional healing.

- Jill Bolte Taylor

 

Cultivate the habit of

Being grateful for every

Good thing that comes to you,

And to give thanks continuously.

And because all things have

Contributed to your advancement,

You should include all things in

Your gratitude.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson 

 

 

Prayer for Gratitude…

 

Father God, I thank you for my friends

And ask that your kindness and loving mercy

Will watch over them this Thanksgiving season.

Give to each one the blessing of a new day.

And in the weeks to come,

May they experience your favor with a fresh

Awareness of your strong and faithful love.

God, sometimes life gets us down and we find

It hard to see things for which to be thankful.

Open our eyes to see the gifts you’ve freely given.

So I thank you, not just for the food on our tables,

And the blessings for this past year,

But for all the ways you have not performed

According to our liking.

For all the times you said “no” and for all the ways

You have worked in and through our lives,

Perhaps without us knowing it.

Thank you for all the unresolved issues and the

Ways we are still waiting for answers.

Thank you that you are the author of peace and

You are the lover of our souls.

Preserve us with your power that we may not slip

Into wrong desires, nor be overcome by adversity.

In all we do, direct us to the fulfilling your purpose;

Through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior

Amen.

- David Beroth

Veterans Day Prayer to Honor and Uplift Our Veterans

 

Let's join together in prayer for veterans across the US.

Did you know there are over sixteen million living veterans

who have served in at least one war?

Over two million of those veterans are women and nearly

ten million of all veterans are over the age of 65.

Can you imagine being a part of a group of men and women

who are ready to defend our country from war?

To be willing to leave family, friends, and comforts to keep us safe?

It is only fitting we would have a special day to honor them.

Veteran's Day offers time to remember, encourage, and comfort

Veterans in prayer. 

 

A Prayer for Veterans with Emotional Scars…

 

Sometimes physical scars heal but emotional scars will linger.

Many veterans suffer from depression,

P.T.S.D. (post-traumatic stress disorder), thoughts of suicide,

substance use problems, bipolar disorder, and even schizophrenia.

The mental toll of being in a high-stress environment is hard to

recover from.

Let’s say a prayer for those who are still suffering.

 

Dear Father, nothing is hidden from You.

Even the silent sufferer You see.

We lift up those with emotional scars

who have served in our military.

Those veterans are special to

You and You love them.

You see them.

Strengthen them to seek help from

friends or counselors.

Give grace and patience to those who

care for them.

Give wisdom to the doctors who are

treating them.

We pray for peace for them and relief.

Amen.

 

- Sarah Frazer

So we pray to Him now for the vision
to see our way clearly… to see the way
that leads to a better life for ourselves
and for all our fellow people… to the
achievement of His will to peace on earth.
- Franklin D. Roosevelt

 

Our abundant plains and mountains would

yield little if it were not for the applied skill

and energy of Americans working together

as fellow citizens bound up in common
destiny.  The achievement of brother and

sisterhood is the crowning objective of our

society.
- Dwight D. Eisenhower

 

We are not afraid to entrust the American people

with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien

philosophies, and competitive values. 

For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge

the truth and falsehood in an open market is a

nation that is afraid of its people.
- John F. Kennedy

 

Above all, we must realize that no arsenal,

or no weapon in the arsenals of the world,

is so formidable as the will and moral courage

of free men and women.
- Ronald Reagan

 

My Country ‘Tis of Thee…

My country, 'tis of thee,

Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From ev'ry mountainside
Let freedom ring!

My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills,
Like that above.

Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song;
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong. 

Our fathers' God to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing.
Long may our land be bright,
With freedom's holy light,
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God our King.


Additional verse to celebrate

Washington's Centennial:

Our joyful hearts today,
Their grateful tribute pay,
Happy and free,
After our toils and fears,
After our blood and tears,
Strong with our hundred years,
O God, to Thee.


Additional verses

by Henry van Dyke:

We love thine inland seas,
Thy groves and giant trees,
Thy rolling plains;
Thy rivers' mighty sweep,
Thy mystic canyons deep,
Thy mountains wild and steep,--
All thy domains.

Thy silver Eastern strands,
Thy Golden Gate that stands
Fronting the West;
Thy flowery Southland fair,
Thy North's sweet, crystal air:
O Land beyond compare,
We love thee best!

- S.F. Smith
