John Denver The Box 1973
This poem The Box was written about 1912 by Lascellas Ambercrombie -
Kindly Do Not Touch.
Once upon a time, in the land of Hush-A-Bye,around about the wondrous days of yore,
they came across a kind of box,
The children understood. Children happen to be good
But someone did. Someone battered in the lid.
and death that comes with war.
bumping into everything in store.
and burned, and dying, thousands of them sick and crying.
Now there's a way to stop the ball. It isn't difficult at all.
that we can get it back into the box,and bind the chains, and lock the locks.
Well, that's the way it all appears,
cause it's been bouncing round for years and years.
and locked with locks, and labeled "Kindly do not touch; it's war."

Chicago_When All the Laughter Color My World
"When All The Laughter Dies In Sorrow"
When all the laughter dies in sorrow
When all the wars have found a cause
In human wisdom and in blood
Do you think they'll cry in sadness
Do you think the eye will blink
Do you think they'll curse the madness
Do you even think they'll think
When all the great galactic systems
Sigh to a frozen halt in space
Do you think there will be some remnant
Of beauty of the human race
Do you think there will be a vestige
Or a sniffle or a cosmic tear
Do you think a greater thinking thing
Will give a damn that man was here

Ryan Stevenson - Eye of the Storm
In the eye of the storm, You remain in control
And in the middle of the war, You guard my soul
You alone are the anchor, when my sails are torn
Your love surrounds me in the eye of the storm

A Wedding Prayer- Marisa & Ben- 10-16-2017
Heavenly
Father and Great God,
We thank you
that your hand and your will has guided and led us to this day. We gather to
celebrate the love and commitment of Marisa and Ben, as they share their first
meal together as husband and wife.
We pray that you will give Your Holy blessing today upon their marriage, and
ask that You continue to bless them with Your love and mercy throughout their
lives together.
We ask that you bless this food, and pray it be the first of many loving meals they share together
with their family and friends, and we ask that Marisa and Ben will always be
blessed by Your amazing grace.
We thank you that we may come before you to pray and ask these things in the sweet name of your son Jesus through
whom we are granted our salvation. Amen

You're Going To Miss It

Slipping Through My Fingers
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
And I have to sit down for a while
The feeling that I'm losing her forever
And without really entering her world
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
That funny little girl
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Isaiah 40
Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40:28-31 NIV

Gentle Stranger by Captain & Tennille
Gentle stranger, you came into my life
When I was feelin' sad
And I looked up that day
To see your face shinin' in the sun
Your eyes were kind and you spoke softly to me
You were just passing through
Tomorrow you would be gone
But we shared conversation and wine and talked of many things
And on that night I slept softly in your arms
And you'd kept me warm
You kept me from harm, you gave me love
Yes, I knew you'd be leavin' in the mornin'
By the dawn you'd be goin' on your way
But we can never know about tomorrow
And I know you made me beautiful, beautiful today
Gentle stranger, I'm now returned again
To lonely days and nights
But now I cannot feel the pain so much
For a memory of you
Comes and wraps itself around me in the dark
And in my dream I sleep softly in your arms
And I am warm, I am safe from harm, I am loved
Grateful Dead - Looks Like Rain
Did you ever waken to the sound of street cats making love?
You guess from the cries you were listening to a fight.
Well you know, oh know, haste is the last thing they're thinking of.
You know they're only tryin' to make it through the night

1Corinthians 13 "The Love Chapter for Mothers"
Tuesday, February 7, 2017
I'll Stand By You
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
'Cause I've seen the dark side too
You don't know what to do
Nothin' you confess, could make me love you less
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
I get angry too
Well I'm a lot like you
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'Cause even if you're wrong
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
You're feelin' all alone
You won't be on your own
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Yeah
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
No, no, no, no, no
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you

Merry Christmas
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
late in time behold him come,
offspring of a virgin's womb.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
hail the incarnate Deity,
pleased as man with man to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel.
Hark! The herald angels sing,
“Glory to the new born King!”
