Matthew says that Jesus fed five
thousand with five loaves of bread and two fishes after blessing the food; He
walked on the water; Jesus healed the sick. (Matthew 14)
To: Our precious Zachariah Tyler-(Handsome
Z. Tyler---My Hero);
Our
treasured Lauren Victoria-(Little Professor---L.V. “Luvy);
Our
delightful Alexandria Elizabeth-(Curly locks---Lexli Lu);
Our
enchanting Anna Marie-(Blondie Annie Rie---Our “pistol”):
You all are priceless in our heart. The
proclamation of the Bible is: Fear not! Follow Me!
Our prayer is that your gonfalon,
crusade banner, simply be: Faith! Family! Freedom!
Live faith! All goodness is God; in God
all things are possible. Dream without limit, live that reality through the
Father’s authority, Jesus’ blessings, the Holy Spirit Grace. Fear not to dream,
only fear to dream too small. Pursue pure values in God and---Persevere! You
can do anything you decide and you do not ever have to do anything you choose
not to do. Decisions made on Christian values are based in virtue and will
always ring true. You are “in” the world by virtue of birth; you might become
“of” the world by choice. Constant running in pursuit of happiness does not
make a full life; it brings emptiness. Materialism is the fulfillment of vacant
hope; it bears no lasting value. You are virtuous: kind, considerate, loving,
generous. In a word: Holy! Faith be your credo; wear it proudly!
The importance of family is
self-evident. You have a mother and father who love you dearly, a sibling who
adores you, a grandmother who loves you as her own children and me, who wants
to be just like each of you when (if) I ever grow up. Your aunt and uncle and
cousins love you dearly. Our extended family and all your friends see the
goodness within you. Everybody loves you. Your future is assured; your soul
mate awaits; we know you search for someone like yourself; God will send each,
in time. You all have looks, superior intelligence, the world by the tail. Go
out there and take your rightful reward; you deserve it and God wills it. Bless
you!
Freedom is as necessary to this recipe
for happiness as is the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit to the Trinity of the
Deity. Free will is the icing on the cake of life and that dessert is: Oh! So
sweet! If the important decisions are grounded in faith. You are always free to
choose. Do so wisely and the outcome will invariably praise, honor and glorify
God. In my life, everything is simple; do what is right and it all works out.
God will provide.
Finally, love is the ingredient that
makes all of this possible. Ever wonder whether you love someone? If everything
you do is for the benefit of that person, everything, without question, then
you understand true love. Love is pure in its intent. It is given, bestowed. It
requires no reply, no response, no reciprocation, no acceptance. I love people
who do not even know that I exist. Love is mine to give so long as it is given
without condition. God loves you like that. Conditional love is deceitful
narcissism, a poorly designed lie for the grandeur of the perpetrator with no
benefit to the recipient. Love is pure! Always!
“Christmas Love!” to you all, each and
every day of the year! Amen!
Love, Bapa & Nanny-2010
Seek---Truth!
Oh! Perfect single yellow rose in
alabaster vase
Glimpsed there idyllic peace
within eternal dream
Blue-green tempest white crest
waves sing life theme
Safe harbor from all evil in
quite soft His Love embrace
Surf modulated soothing lull on
beach fine white powder sand
Cadence rhythmic ebb and flow as
only His sight planned
Strong hand caressing gentle upon
stained-shadowed face
Sun comfort warm in Easter dye
pale blue of heaven above
Sail ocean clouds like wings on
pure white holy Dove
In Glory should I fortune find
His subtle trace
Upon sand dune in palm shade
panoramic vista view
Absorb reflection focus memories
which once I knew
Remember Faith returns His love
in special case
Nature solitude in perfect frame
created scene
Why I be privy honored to enjoy
sublime serene
Quiet slumber reverie through
Father, Son and Spirit Grace
Each breath and time between is
prayer I humbly offer true
Rejoice sweet reverence as others
merely suffer through
His guiding light sits yonder
perch on headland place
Glow slowly seek day’s destiny to
far west sky
Shine sweetly Spirit life in Hope
as creatures try
Emulate that Joseph, Mary, Holy
Infant Family base
Twilight quickly tags spectacular
orange sunset prize
Afore full dark, bright moon in
east does rise
God’s heaven touched in cherished
Freedom pace
Myriad blue-white diamond-studded
sparkle black velvet abyss
Rest for appointed glorious
morning sun, His promised bliss
Savor beauty life, allow not to
become a destination race
In all God’s gain, the pleasure
truly is the chase!
Amen!
Merry Christmas!
