WHY NOT BE SWEET AND SHINE?


 “The sweetest disposition here on Earth… it Could be Yours one day, it could be mine. Why don't we Love, Today, for All we're worth, and Let these Lights that Heaven Gives us Shine?!”

HAPPINESS COMPLETE


 “Dear Lord, transform my consciousness today, please, purge my heart of violence and hate. Please, Help me not ta throw your gifts away, dear Lord, but gratefully ta pray and wait. A brave and patient pilgrim I must be, not prone ta brooding, bitterness, and spite. Please, help me get my mind unbound and free, that I may radiate your Holy Light! I gotta be a kind and gentle soul, be peaceful, loving, faithful, tough, and sweet. So, Lord of All, please let your blessings roll; it's You who makes my happiness complete!”

THE FAITHLESS MAN

The Faithless Man
(talking to Heaven)

He cares about his pleasures, not much else: the money, power, mischief, stuff like that. He sometimes likes ta glorify himself, and Lovin' Christ, to Him, ain't where it's at. So How'd this fellow Get so very nuts? He's all too Human, prone ta make misTakes; he chickens out, he doesn't Have the guts… ta Love the hearts… that he so often breaks.
So, Heaven, Help me be more Kind than him, be Kind enough ta follow Christ each day, 'cause Otherwise my Future'd look too dim! Lord, Be My Light! In Jesus' name, I pray!

TEACHING BY EXAMPLE

Teaching by Example

There Lives a Loving Light in Ev'ry Heart, at least a Spark, if Not a Living Flame. Some call that Christ, where You can Make a Start, though ya might like ta use a Diff'rent Name! That Holy Flame some Fools might sometimes quench, believing what they're doing's good and right. When things are sweet, some Fools may Start a Stench; where peace and justice rules, they'll Start a Fight.

So What kin Help the ones who've Lost their Way? It's Love fer which a willing heart may Reach. The Rocks will Open, If we'll Love and Pray, and so we Must, if Goodness we would Teach!
