My parents were in a church and decided to receive the holy Bread.
Hundreds of people were there with loads of church benches that held 20 people
per bench. As they stood up my mother said to my father Hey listen take a note of
the church bench number. My father said What for. Mother said Well, We don't want
to come back looking for our seats with our mouths hanging open and looking like
fools if we can't find them.
My father replied :- Well lets shut them then.
I come to you Father and I have sinned;
I'm not supposed to be called your son
For all despicable ills I have done,
And I'm to hell destined.
Rescue me loving Father I pray,
And let be vindicated this day.
My Father and my friend,
I love not to live by pretense,
Nor love I your sacrosanct decrees to bend;
I repent every transgression hence,
And pray that you may your mercies lend.
Feed me my Father and my friend,
And put raiment upon my skin;
Upon my poetry I pray you send
Your benediction and endorsement unseen.
Fine-tune the timbre and pitch of my oration,
My Father and my friend of all creation;
And speak on me the benefits of fame,
And cause my tongue to proclaim thy name.
My Father and my friend unchanging,
Full of love and care unflinching,
Be my comforter in times of cry and sorrow,
And hide from me the uncertainties of tomorrow.
Hear me my Father and my friend,
For I'm candid and dare not pretend!
Oh Father I thank You ,for Blessing this day.
I want to be with You , please show me The Way.
My Heavenly Father ,please Bless me tonight.
And give me The Power , to crush Satan's fight.
My heart is now open , for You to come in.
Forgive me My Father , for I am with sin.
Please show me The Road , for which You desire.
For You are The One , I love and admire.
I ask for forgiveness ,and pray for Your love.
Direction and guidance , from You up above.
I ask that You be here , with me each day.
For YOU are THE POWER and YOU are THE WAY
THE GREATEST GIFT GIVEN
-THE BREATH OF LIFE-
A GREAT THING GIVEN FROM OUR FATHER WAS,
A WORLD WITH BLUE SKYIES,BLUE OCEANS, ANIMALS, TREES, SUNLIGHT, FOOD, PEACE,
JOY, BEAUTY,
HARMONIOUSLY LIVING TOGETHER ; IN PERFECT COMPANIONSHIP.
GOD THE FATHER DIDN'T STOP THERE, HE GAVE US
THE ULTIMATE GREATEST GIFT ANYONE
COULD EVER GIVE; WHEN HE ; BLEW THE BREATHE OF LIFE INTO ADAM'S NOSTRILS.
GOD DIDN'T STOP THERE THOUGH, HE PROVIDED ADAM WITH A GARDEN OF GLORIOUS
BEAUTY AND PERFECTION.
SHORTLY AFTER THE LORD GOD ASK ADAM "WHAT IS WRONG ADAM"? ADAM REPLIED I
FEEL LONELY, I WISH I HAD A COMPANION". QUIETLY GOD THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT ADAM
HAD SAID; AND PUSHING HIS FEELINGS ASIDE,
HE PUT ADAM INTO A DEEP SLEEP
AND MADE A COMPANION FOR HIM.
FLESH OF MY FLESH, BONE OF MY BONE,
AND THEN GOD TOOK A RIB FROM ADAM AND GAVE IT TO EVE.
AFTERWARDS GOD SAT ADAM AND EVE DOWN AND EXPLAINED
TO THEM THAT ONLY ONE THING
THEY WERE FORBIDDIN TO DO AND THAT WAS TO EAT FRUIT
FROM THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL; FOR THEY WOULD SURLY DIE.
