IF YOU GET BUMMED

When joy has disappeared… and sorrow rules, please, don’t ya dare complain, please, don’t despair! ‘Cause those activities are both for fools – instead, please show somebody that ya care!

FOR THE WORLD

Indifference or love, and death or life,

and fearfulness or bravery, now, choose!

Which will it be for husband, kids, or wife?

For friends and neighbors, strangers – bliss or blues?

I've gotta show somebody that I care,

'cause that's the way humanity survives!

If I have got a surplus, I must share,

for goodness changes hearts and changes lives.

Please, heaven, help me realize this dream,

this dream of helping Christ to save us all!

It's only love can all of us redeem –

for that salvation, here and now, I call!

Please, Lord, and thank You! Amen

Sense of Humor

Please bless my sense of humor, Holy One – for what is life without some wholesome fun? Too serious I can't afford to be, so make me able, Lord, to laugh – at me! ~ Oh, sometimes I do something silly, Lord, so help me, please, to laugh at those mistakes. Let heaven be the place I'm headed toward; I hope there's laughter there, for goodness' sakes!

AWARENESS

This circumstance requires that I be kind…

to everyone, including you and me.

To keep my needs and others' needs in mind,

Lord, help me very kind and conscious be!

more thoughts

You know, there's something I can do myself:

be kind to me and everybody else!

The global situation may improve…

when more of us on kindness daily groove!

REVERIE

I patiently allow my self to be,

friend; non-attachment, that's what's best for me.

Delusion, greed, and hatred, they're my foes –

but as I practice, peace within me grows!

thoughts

Since evangelicals feared ego loss, they turned to Donald Trump… and made him Boss. And they believe that he'll fix everything, that racist woman-hater they made king. ~ Their savior Jesus Christ they have replaced… with someone crazy, ignorant, and mean. It's sheer illusion that those folks have chased; the truth in front of them they haven't seen. And so let's choose to meditate and pray, and love the Lord, ourselves, our neighbors, too. Dig, peace on Earth could start with us today, if we'll decide to love… and follow through.

RELIANCE

I trust You, Jesus; help me, Jesus, please! And thanks ahead of time for all you'll do! You're here with me in flowers, birds, and trees; within my heart, and near me, I've got You!

PEACENIK'S PRAYER

We can't resolve our differences with guns; we can be kindly, peaceful, praying ones. Now, anger never leads to sweet success – so all my enemies I gotta bless!

Lord, help me do that!

WHY BE A VICTIM OF THE MEDIA?

When media manipulate your mind, they show you stuff that's gonna make ya hate. To truth you'll then be very, very blind – because you ate the tasty poison bait!

TRIBUTE TO AN EARTH ANGEL

You've brought us sweetness straight from heaven, sis; your love's the gift that everyone's received. You've shared with us a taste of heaven's bliss, because in loving-kindness you've believed! When you showed up, an angel's what we got – you've really blessed us pilgrims here a lot! Thank you, thank you, thank you very much!

PRAYER TO JESUS

Please, Jesus, bless my heart and mind with peace!

Please, help me all attachments now release!

Let no anxieties my soul annoy –

please, grant me Now Tranquility and Joy!

Thank You!

COURAGE TO LOVE

It's love that's necessary, never war, nor fearfulness, nor anger, never hate. If we would be courageous, more and more, we've gotta take more time ta pray and wait! Please, help us love ourselves and others too, as our small ways of truly loving You!

as though Jesus were speaking...

The sweetest, kindest things that you can do, it's those the ones you love desire from you! A miracle can here and now get done – just trust in me, my child, my precious one!

THIS I BELIEVE

If you've indulged in vibing anger, friend,

you've caused one life, and maybe more, to end.

Let's not go 'round regarding life as cheap,

but let's recall that as we sow, we reap!

A HOPEFUL NOTE

If I'll be kind to all my enemies, I just might find that some become my friends. Such graciousness just might those humans please, 'cause kindness sometimes painful injuries mends. So, Lord, please, grant to me a loving heart – help peace between my foes and me to start! In Jesus' name, amen.

Isn't this true?

When self-called Christians worship Trump, they're frauds; they sometimes love, but many times they hate. Though it's been truly said that we are gods, we gotta change before it gets too late!

TO A KIND SOUL

May harmony and holiness be yours, as you be kind and careful all day long. Since you are one who peace and joy prefers, may heaven help you keep your loving strong!

TO SOMEONE HESITANT TO COP TO CHRIST

Lord Jesus loves you – please, don't be afraid!

He's merciful and kind in every way.

The price of your redemption He has paid,

and He will not condemn you, come what may –

because, He's not judgmental, fearful one;

it's foolish, friend, to live your life in dread.

With love He got the world's salvation done;

so drop your fears, and call on Him instead!

A PRAYER

Lord, keep me peaceful, loving, brave, and smart! I must not be an angry, hateful one; please, rule my life from deep within my heart. Lord, not this will o' mine, but Thine be done!

ONE PRAYER

Lord Jesus, loving Friend of mine, my light, how I depend upon your mercy, every day. You shine on me and make my darkness bright, whenever I have blindly lost my way. So, Thank You, Lord, for being Who You are, the grace that saves me every time I fall. Since I first met You, we've come very far, and I'm so glad you answered that first call. You've answered many, many times since then; I don't know what I'd do without Your aid. You've helped me out, again and yet again; how faithfully beside me You have stayed! I love You, Lord! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Amen!

PRAYIN'

Compassionate, almighty, loving One, through me today Your perfect will be done! Please, bless my heart! Please, guide and strengthen me, so I'll more truthful, kind, and helpful Be! And healthy, too! Today! Thank You! In Jesus' name, amen!

TALKIN' TO THE LORD

This circumstance requires much love from me, dear Lord: compassion, kindness, mercy, too. I'm s'posed ta do Your will impeccably – I'm gonna need a lotta help from You! Please and Thank You! In Jesus' name, amen!

YOU'LL BE NEAR, LORD!

To realize my true potential, Lord, I'm gonna need Your help each moment, please! Your gospel ship, I'm glad to be aboard; what helps it sail 's Your Holy Spirit breeze. I know one day I'm gonna make it Home, so, until then, please, help me persevere. And on this Earth, wherever I may roam, I'll trust in You, I Know that You'll be near!

THINK

Now, if it seems too risky, why proceed? You cannot be well-served by lust and greed! Attachments are not ever helpful, friend; our ways we both might sometimes need to mend!

MERCIFUL & SWEET

As merciful as Jesus is to me, today in every way I Gotta be! Dear Lord, since Everyone on Earth's your child, please make my disposition sweet and mild! Today, in Jesus' name, amen!

RE: A Lady

Within her heart there's passion deep and strong; she loves the universe with all her might. Within her heart there lives a lilting song, 'cause loving brings this lady great delight. So, Lord, protect her, please, her heart, please bless; please help her keep her mind unbound and free, and when You call, please, help her answer “Yes!”, and may she then Your glory plainly see!

TRUMP & HIS AGENDA

So much of Trump's agenda saddens me –

mass murder, ecocide, such hateful stuff!

The charlatan is mean as mean can be;

now, ain't it time we people said, “Enough!”?

AS IF THE LORD WERE SPEAKING II

Now, if you're feelin' bad 'cause you did wrong,

or someone's Done you wrong, please, don't despair.

Just listen to this pretty little song,

and show yourself some tender, loving care.

Remember that I love you very much,

and Don't let Nuthin' get you down, my friend!

I'm gonna give your heart a loving touch,

and on that love you always can depend….

LOVE CAN TOUCH A HEART

Now, here's a few important things to know:

that Jesus loves you; Jesus saves and heals… 

that love is what you'll reap, if love you sow… 

that love to everyone on Earth appeals.

I hope you'll find some ways to love today,

that you will choose to love and follow through, 

'cause love's the very most effective way…

to touch another's heart; you know it's true. 

Now there you go!

PRAY, WAIT, AND ACT

The foolish ones believe that they are wise;

Lord, help me not to be that foolish, please!

The foolish ones go 'round believing lies -- 

how blest are they whom Truth from error frees!

Dear Lord, have mercy on us pilgrims – Now!

Awaken us before it gets too late!

There's so much slack that we ourselves allow;

Lord, help us Act, but also – pray and wait!
