The Native American Indian Lived
(image source: dreamworlds.ru)
Long ago the Native American
lived as a proud Indian
Earth was their Mother
wildlife were sister or brother
Great Spirit in the sky
Father to which they cry
As round the fire they prance
performing their rituals in dance
To beating of a drum
were the chants they’d hum
Understanding the true enormity
of living life in harmony
Together a tribe would band
to care for their land
Grateful for Mother’s yield
from wildlife to field
They lived not in haste
and nothing went to waste
And ‘twould yet be so
if white man didn’t show
Up on their shores
while carrying diseased spores
To spread across the land
and massive lives demand
That once it was begun
the Native Americans were overrun
As no warnings we’d heed
they became a dying breed
With the land in devastation
forced to live in alienation
In the place that did belong
to the Native Indians all along!

This Day’s Thought From Monday & Tuesday

Nothing is more beautiful than our Lord’s forethought! He was always thinking ahead of the disciples. When He sent them to prepare the Passover there was found an upper room furnished and prepared. His plans were not only for that day. He was always in advance of time! When the disciples came back from fishing, Jesus was on the seashore with a fire of coals and fish laid thereon. In the morning he thinks of the day, before you are astir! After the resurrection, the disciples were bewildered and the way looked black. But the angel said, “Behold, He goeth before you into Galilee.” He is always thinking ahead, preparing ahead! “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. I go to prepare a place for you.”

For the Lord will not cast off for ever, but, though he cause grief, he will have compassion according to the abundance of his steadfast love; for he does not willingly afflict or grieve the sons of men.
Lamentations 3:31-33
The Revised Standard Version

Doth not all nature around me praise God? If I were silent, I should be an exception to the universe. Doth not the thunder praise Him as it rolls like drums in the march of the God of armies? Do not the mountains praise Him when the woods upon their summits wave in adoration? Does not the lightning write His name in letters of fire? Hath not the whole earth a voice? And shall I, can I, silent be?
Charles H. Spurgeon
Walk in all the way that the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.
Deuteronomy 5:33
The New International Version
Children are not things to be molded, but are people to be unfolded.

Christmas Dreams of Children
(image source: dreamies.de)
The Christmas dreams of children
are of Santa’s workshop
Where elves work frantically
all his sleigh to top
With gaily wrapped presents
for good girls and boys
All they could ask for
in stuffed animals and toys
Some deserving little girls
will get new baby dolls
When they pull the string
out to them it calls
And there will some
of the dreaming boys
Who receive the Nutcracker
as desired of his toys
That one enchanted eve
unto life will spring
Mounting up an army
in the playroom to bring
And save sister’s doll
this prince in disguise
Leading the Rat King
down to his demise
While sugar plums and candy canes
through sissy’s dreams all dance
Brother smiles when the Nutcracker
slays Rat King with his lance
As there on Christmas Eve
will the children dream
Until the morning’s light
does through the window stream!

For my children and grandchildren, I love you
The Perfect Flower
(image source: dreamies.de)
The two children searched
over hill and dale
Even after the day
did into night sail
Little girl and boy
spent hour after hour
As did the countryside
all their time devour
Until the silvered moon
stood above on high
And with the stars
brightened up the sky
Determined not to quit
though hope began to sour
Before they had found
the most perfect flower
Hues of yellow and red
in their radiance done
For it truly was
their mother’s favorite one
So you can imagine
their shouts of delight
When a field of sunflowers
appeared before their sight
As they ran to cut
the most beautiful one
For their lovely mother
who was second to none!

Tuesday Animal Laughs
Oh man, like wow
dude don’t have a cow
The dog looks really pissed
think he will be missed?
‘Cause we can always swear
we didn’t know he was in there!
Mom, please don’t go!
Promise I’ll be good!
Don’t just walk away
and leave me in the hood!

Like Seriously Dude – Tuesday’s Limerick
I Mean, like wow, seriously dude

describe what’s wrong with you?
‘Cause you’re lewd and crude with an attitude!
