Matthew 9:35-38
Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.
But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.
Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few.
Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into his harvest.”
In these verses, the Lord is calling each one of us, his Disciples, to live out our vocations as extensions of his love and goodness. We are all called to love, not to hate; to heal, not to pour salt on the wounds of others; to feed the hungry, food for the body and spiritually for the soul; to comfort the sick, suffering, and less fortunate among us, not to turn our backs on others and think only of our selfish desires. Yes, we are all called to be Disciples of the Lord. Christmas is a great opportunity for us to bring the love of Christ to others. We love and serve our Lord when we love and serve all the less fortunate children of God among us.

The Children Of God
Thank you Father - for revealing the mystery
Blessed are the eyes that see
The little ones and the meek
Blessed are they that hear
They live in peace not fear
Blessed are the children of God
Thank you Father - for revealing the mystery
Prophets and kings filled with desire
In their jealousy they do conspire
Seeking wisdom to know all things
The elite are denied of this blessing
Blessed are the children of God
Thank you Father - for revealing the mystery
Blessed are they that see
Blessed are the humble and meek
Blessed are they that hear
Blessed are the they without fear
Blessed to understand the mystery
Blessed are the children of God

Luke 21: 25-28, 34-36
There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; the waves of the sea shall roar; nations shall be in anguish;
The powers of heaven will be shaken; people will fear for expectation of the things which are coming on the world;
Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory;
When these things begin to happen, look up, and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near.” "Be careful, or your hearts will be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day will come on you suddenly. For it will come like a snare on all those who dwell on the surface of all the earth. Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

Strive After Virtue
　
Let your hearts not be filled with dissipation
Weigh you down and fill your life with cares
Unless you spend time striving after virtues
This life will tie you down with all its snares
You have the strength to grow
You have the power to say no
You need to watch all the time
You need to pray and to climb
Virtues are dwelling within you
Bigger things are out there that await you
The choice has been given freely to choose
Escape all the madness go out find a place
Strive and allow your virtues to breakthrough
You have the strength to grow
You have many seeds to sow
You have mountains to climb
So keep praying all the time
Unlock the virtues within you
You have the strength, I know
Remember I have told you so
Out of love I gave them all to you

Master of Love
Mastermind - Master of time
Master of light shining above

"Goodbye"
The smiles now gone, the laughter too
Your once in a lifetime has come to you
The love you shared shall forever remain
So too with your loss our grief and pain
When at last we say goodbye
Our tears of sadness subside
The cherished memories of you
Will comfort and get us through
Joined with the faithful departed
My heart is overjoyed for you
Now tasting the fullness of glory
In this never ending lifetime story
Your smile and laughter endless forever
As you pass once in a lifetime through
Fullness to love now more than ever
As grace and glory now shine upon you
In the presence of everlasting joy
With a sigh and tearful eyes
With love we say - "goodbye"
　
　

　

The Love of a Lifetime

Mom I love you so - goodbye
Three days and two goodbyes
Smiles and tears of past years
Broken hearts, blessed memories
Mom I love you so - googbye
The pain, and lifetime of love
A dear brother-in-law, a friend
Grieve the loss of a lifetime, Mom
Mom I love you so - goodbye
No greater love on earth than she
Always there, she always cares
Only one, a once in a lifetime love
Until we meet again, I love you Mom

The Time Is Ripe

Mark 13: 24-32

The time is ripe for the tribulation
No way to tell if it's day or night
The darkened sun without reflection
The moon disappearing from sight
All powers in heaven are shaken
Showering down the stars of light

With great power and glory all eyes shall see
The Son of Man in magnificence and majesty
Upon the brilliant white cloud descending down
King of Kings with the earth his glorious crown

Sending Angels to gather all the chosen
From the four winds of the earth and sky
In robes washed in the blood of the lamb
The great tribulation they have survived
The time is ripe for this and our generation
The time of our souls salvation has arrived

With great power and glory all eyes shall see
The Son of Man in magnificence and majesty
Upon a brilliant white cloud descending down
King of Kings with the earth his glorious crown

The time is ripe for the Father's ultimate hour
He alone knows the time and has the power
All things shall pass but His word that is true
With His love all things shall be created anew
Seeing our Savior at the Father's right hand
In brilliant splendor fulfilling the Father's plan
