LET'S LOVE AT ALL TIMES


 “We act like love and mercy are fer Nuts, whenever we feel threatened by a foe! Forgive? We mostly seem ta lack the guts, ta let the love within us freely flow. Ta love, each day, a person must prepare; adversity, we all will prob'ly face. We always need ta practice loving care – for everyone on Earth, in every case. Is that not true?”

MAY YOU BE BLESSED INDEED

“They’re maiming, Killing women, kids, and men, ‘cause some of us are scared that we might die. They’ve maimed and killed again and yet again, for many years, they’ve “had to”, that’s their lie.
When we’re not living love, what do we do? It’s then that peace and justice disappear. When we’re not working on the Savior’s crew, it’s then it seems the Lord of Love ‘s not near. So, You and I, let’s practice love today, and let’s forgive the ones at whom we’re mad. And don’t ya suppose it might be smart ta Pray? And maybe make this world a bit more glad? I wish you All the very, very best; may you have everything ya really need! May Heaven make you very, very blessed, may you be happy, well, and free, indeed!”

A PRAYER RE LOVE

(to someone like me)

“Why aren’t ya prayin’ ‘bout most everything? Why not maintain a loving attitude? Much good from such an attitude could spring, might even get your foes ta goodness wooed! So why not concentrate on love today? Forgiving ‘s also very wise ta do. Yes, get it on for Jesus, whilst ye may, let love’s sweet spirit get a hold on You! OK?”

PLEASE FORGIVE ME!

I’m very sorry I offended you. Please, friends, forgive my faithless lack of care. More often I must Pray, before I “do”, if I would do some good, I must prepare. I really wish for you a joyful day, that everything works out the best for you. There’s only one more little thing I’d say: may all your sweetest dreams today come true!"

THE LOVE OF CHRIST IS WORTHY OF OUR PRAISE


(long poem) How Much does President Obama care? How Much do Hillary and Donald Trump? Not Much, dear One, as far as I’m aware; their morals, long ago, they chose ta Dump. But, How about both Yours and Mine, dear Soul? Now, me, I haven’t yet become a saint; I fall too short in all too many ways. A Perfect lover, now, I really ain’t, so Help me, Lord, be One who often prays. Please, Help me start ta love the Way You do, forgiving everyone who does me wrong; please, Help me love my neighbor, me, and You, please, Help my Will ta Love us ALL stay Strong! Lord, You deserve my Deepest Gratitude, fer All you’re Doin’, Lord, and all you’ve Done; Sheer Thankfulness I always should exude, fer All the Love you’ll Give, sweet Holy One! Please, Never let this heart o’ mine be swayed… from Lovin’ YOU, and everyone on Earth! Lord, I appreciate this world you’ve made, please, Help me Dig just What your Love is Worth! In the holy name of Jesus Christ, amen!
