Sexual Addictions Are Destroying Our Families

Sexual Addictions Are Destroying Our Families!
Many families are being destroyed by sexual addictions!
As they bring into their homes unneeded afflictions!

There are affairs of adultery of all different kinds…
As many allow sin’s pollution to destroy their mind!

Many have no comprehension or fail to see…
The filth of garbage being promoted on t.v.!

Rather than seeking God for his blood’s protection.
Husbands and wives look to others for affection.

God looks and sees the wounded and broken heart.
And before you know it, another family falls apart!

Too much of this is happening in churches today.
Will these families just come together and pray?

It’s time to come together as a family and be strong!
Let’s get rid of the things in our life that don’t belong!

Let’s seek the purity and holiness of God above.
And be strengthened by his majestic love!

Let’s seek God’s protection over our families too!
And speak kind words to another, like; “I LOVE YOU!”

May the love of Christ come and bind us as ONE!
And touch every father, mother, daughter and son!

Lord Jesus, we all need you so much!  This very hour!
We can’t make it alone!  Without your power!

Please Jesus, restore what the enemy has taken!
I’ve never seen your children left or forsaken!

You are the only one that our family has needed!
Only by your love, will our family be completed!

Premium Member When Families Collide

Around this time of year
Our families draw near
They gather side by side.

Young and old they meet
And munch on tasty treats
Around the fireside.

A conversation starts
The subject quickly parts
A gap a generation wide.

The men get more intense
The women are incensed
They exit and they cry.

But grandma has a plan
She does all that she can
And quickly runs outside.

She finds her new grand babe
In mama's arms and says
"He's needed there inside!"

She brings the baby in
All eyes are turned to him
His smile a mile wide. 

A calm is then restored
Old arguments ignored
Hearts melt away their pride.

A child brought them peace
Just like the Prince of Peace
Back then one starry night.

Our Flowers, Our Loss - For the Manchester Families

Where have all our beautiful flowers gone
Each so very special in their own way
Where have all our young flowers gone
Why has this world’s evil taken them away

Where have all our young flowers gone
Oh Lord, we miss them in so many ways
And it's hard to accept the reason they left
As our grief overwhelms us so much today

For our souls are broken in many, many pieces
While our hearts are deeply wrought with pain
We know from this moment forward in our lives
Nothing in our world will again be the same

Where have all our little flowers gone to
Though it may seem they are now far away
The jewels of our lives are still very near
For in our hearts, their smiles brightly stay

Even as our hearts deeply weep for all of them 
In all their faces an angel’s smile, we'll see
Knowing our Lord has embraced each one lovingly
Giving their spirits the blessing of heavenly gain.


The Tourist Families

Watched the tourist families
As they strolled and shopped and sipped.
Without their masks, you might have thought
That Covid had been whipped.

They skated on the ice and bought
Hot chocolate and raclettes.
If germs were floating in the air
They didn’t feel their threats.

Yet all of my anxiety
Of Omicron infection,
Despite my jabs and distancing
And masks for my protection

Was not apparent, outwardly,
On anyone I saw.
I wish, like them, I could command
My worry to withdraw.

Two Hearts and Two Families Became One

What a special day it is 
When we celebrate 
A love that will last a lifetime 
Three years of back and forth 
They don’t have to do that anymore 
They are together forever 
A family they have become 
When 

Two Hearts & Two Families 
Became One

Jennie & JJ couldn’t be more perfect for each other 
I am honored to have had the chance to watch 
Their love grow 
Like two hearts beating to the same rhythm 
For today 

Two Hearts & Two Families 
Become One

Soulmates I believe they are 
Their love 
Is a gift that will grow 
More and more 
With each day that passes 
I couldn’t be happier for the two of them 
As we see 

Two Hearts & Two Families 
Become One

Congratulations Jennie & JJ

Premium Member A Families Pray

We Walk Together  Hand and Hand

Tightly Holding each other's Heart
 
For what We Loved

Was a crafty Illusionist 
Orchestrating arrogant notes 

The Lords Lampposts are Endearing 

Angels that Lead Our Course

Appearing Unexpectedly 

Walking with Us till we regain Our footing

 Lifted We Carry On
 
Forgiveness is the Lords Gift

Peace for All.....is this Families Pray......

Thank You Lord


Premium Member Elastic Families

In this wonky day and time,
this favored temperate clime
dares suggest wisdom's course
espouse prevalent societal force.*

Family tree boundaries,
stretched by current modes
like an old elastic band,
accept new branches
hung precariously 
on the old sturdy trunk.

Old Limbs are newly bushed
with leaves bearing prefixes
with measuring sounds;
third, adopted, step, half -
or followed by modifiers; 
in-law, live-in, significant other.

Partners and lovers 
get tied on with slippery ribbons,
names entered in a ledger, 
but not with permanent ink.

Disjointed families, add-ons, 
and second family births 
leave our children wondering
to whom they belong.

Families Are Forever

A family is a special group
Of people that you love
And share your life with
When you are sent from Heaven above.                                                       

It is a very special bond
Growing up in the same home
The joys and tears unite you,
And entwine your hearts for 
All the years to come.

Happy times and sad times
Blend the years and soon you’re grown.
Each one leaves to begin anew
Their own family and their own home.

But, memories never fade,
Of that first family so dear.
Some memories are happy- some are sad.
Even in old age they still bring a tear.

But, never would we trade places
With any other family we meet.
For, our family is the best.
No other one could ever compete.
Families are forever.

                              They push your 
                              buttons because
                              they can.

Secret Love Prevailed Between Two Hostile Families

Love is so powerful between Andy and Helena after their love grew up to the climax they found themselves in a situation where no one can live without the other this has been going on secretly for so long. But nobody knew it until the fortuneteller prophesied that love indeed existed between Andy and Helena.
These two families have long better feuds between them, as result of suspicion that’s Andy’s family murdered Helena’s brother in the forest for land. Then the confusion has been going on for a while and there was an eminent threats Helena’s family planning to retaliate for the atrocity Andy’s family has committed. 
Despite this grudge still these lovers maintained their relationship secretly and tight. One night they were discussing about their love affairs suddenly they caught nearby the forest making love.(You see how love is so powerful even the forest experiences love.) The news thundered all over the town. They were apprehended and brought before the magistrate court and they were found guilty to all count charges.
This was a promise made by the elders that anyone of them hurt the other he or she will be sentence to death by hanging. After both parts found guilty before the law of the land, Andy and Helena were to be hanged on the gallows.
But their death sentences were suspended for a week later, they were so lucky to abscond over the night and went to nearby cave for safe haven, then the news spreads like wildfire on dry grasses.
Then the people of the village to find these two escapees and kill them before their parents, the chief of the village, requested all the young boys and the hunters’ men to get into the forest and bring those culprits before him.
The chief of the village put bounty upon the captures of these they considered as criminals, but I considered them as real and faithful lovers.
The attacked all the routes some people were on the heart of the forest searching for them, on the other sides there was a big river and lots of dangerous animals in it.
Andy and Helena did not know how to swim; however, they found cannon by the river they used it to cross. After all the suffering they went through at the end the eloped and married with four children.

The Voice of the Poor

We were not born to a throne,
But we ain't poor people zone,
With God we won't walk alone,
Taught by the village and street,
We are to surrender any retreat,
We ain't rich but we don't cheat.

Been waiting for the fateful day,
Because I know it's not far away,
As we all wait, for now we just say,
One day I will take mother to Rome,
Take her out of the streets we roam,
By moving her into a beautiful home.

They have always treated us as fools,
For not attending the national schools,
But we won't accept to be their snools,
Coz we are  Lord's chosen generation,
We will never give in to their oppression,
Coz being successful is our main mission.

Sexual Addictions Are Destroying Our Families

Many families are being destroyed by sexual addictions!

The filth of garbage being promoted on t.v.!

Abuse Runs In Families

 As I lay here wondering,
Why you did all those horrible things to me,
I slowly begin to realize,
That these things tend to run in family's,
I'm sorry that your parents did this to you.
That still does not make this right,
So please face your own demons,
Without forcing them to become mine.
Blood is thicker than water,
Yes that is true,
As is hate a stronger emotion,
Than love that I thought I had been learning from you. 
I have found that trusting people is all too hard,
I blame that much on all of you,
Because the people I thought I could trust,
When it came to my innocence and safety, 
Turned out to be deceit, horror, and corruption.
So thanks for opening my eyes,
To how crooked the world can be,
Just know this in solace,
That I will not continue this corrupt legacy.

My named is used for either sex,
   Simply spelt or more complex.
Given to me to make it last,
   A family name from the past.
