On this eve of Christmas when joy and good things abound, there are many, oh so many who have dwelt in the sadness found. Some are alone with no comfort in sight, and others

will weep a thousand tears long into the night. For some the sadness comes from those who are no longer there and others who like my sister-in-law will face the prospect of her dear mother departing forever amidst the candles of joy upon this Christmases fair.

Therefore as stewards of humanity and all that is humane. We should in every effort reach out to those who are in pain. Is it too much to ask but for a friendly and kind word? Is it too much trouble to steal a moment of our busy day? Is it too much to ask in sincerity of heart for us just to stop and in boldness pray?

Is it?

Merry Christmas to you all and God Bless….

In Peace We Shall Reign

To what end is this day that I may give joy to sad heart of truth.

Shall I just merely persuade the jailer loosen these chains to give proof?

For it is through the tears of others, those with that haunting look in their eyes.

It is through their tears that I am able to read and feel the hurt in their lives.

I reach out to speak words that may bring joy and uplifting of the weary in heart.

And I render unto these bound with this sadness the very will of my soul from the start.

 I pray for them unceasing in that the jailer of burdened spirits releases them at once.

I petition to unfetter them from the vile disturbing vestibules of the clinging dark.

Therefore join me with mighty and unseen hands.

Join me in praying for the deliverance of those restrained in the darkness of this land.

Lift up now your eyes to heaven and in bold unison sing.

Sing of deliverance, and sings songs of praise.

Lend your voice to the heavens until in peace we forever reign.
