Beautiful Easter Poem – Charmaine Chircop

graphics-religion-378760

On the day our eyes open to the prism of the sun;

On that day, winter solitude would be gone;

The avalanche of differences melts into nothingness;

Through the same breath, through  the same soul;

We would live again as one, no matter who we are;

No matter the colour of our skin, gay or straight,

rich, or poor, innocent or once found guilty.

No matter if we are lawyers, prisoners, doctors or peasants;

No matter our political beliefs, nor our different religions;

A  Catholic, a Muslim, a Buddhist , a Hindu or a  Jew.

On that day, we would all wear identical dresses;

We would all be the significant other, because He has died,

and He has died for all. Jesus died for Peter, John and Judah,

for Lazarus and Maria, Magdalene, Jesus died for me,

He has died for you, for him, for her and even for them.

He gave up till the last drop of blood and painful cry,

for each and every name engraved upon our Father’s palm.

He was  born to die,but it’s not his death that we celebrate,

We celebrate His life, because we believe in life

We celebrate His forgivness, because we experienced

the beauty of forgiveness, the happiness, the return of  blissful joy.

and  we celebrate the ever present love;

Because it is the gift of love that He bestowed on us.

Jesus was born to die, but He was born to rise

Upon death He has risen, through His death we survived;

Because of Him, in the darkness, in the labyrinth of our night;

There will always,always be the little flicker of  a candle,

that fills our hearts with hope, and  warming  light.

Joke of the day – In God We Trust

in god we trust sign

A man wants to seek legal advice. Before he seek advice, he went to a bar for a drink.

At the bar he saw the sign at the cash register, “In God We Trust, Cash Only.”

He then went to a second bar and saw a similar sign on the wall that says, “In God We Trust, All Others Pay In Cash.”

He proceeded to the first law firm to seek advice. As he entered he saw a religious symbol.

When he went to the second law firm, he saw a large deity.

He then proceed to a third law firm but to his surprise, he did not see any religious symbols. So, out of curiosity, he asked the lawyer, “Why didn’t you put any religious symbols as other law firms do?”

The solicitor replied, “In God we trust. We do not cheat.”

clip-art-painting-494380

A Sunday School teacher began her lesson with a question,
“Boys and girls, what do we know about God?
A hand shot up in the air. “He is an artist!” said the kindergarten boy.
“Really? How do you know?” the teacher asked.
“You know – Our Father, who does art in Heaven… “

Dear God,

When we get to Heaven,
can we sit on your couch?
Or is it the same old story?

Love,

β€œLet the first act of every morning be to make the following resolve for the day:

~ I shall not fear anyone on Earth.
~ I shall fear only God.
~ I shall not bear ill will toward anyone.
~ I shall not submit to injustice from anyone.
~ I shall conquer untruth by truth. And in resisting untruth,
~ I shall put up with all suffering.”

― Mahatma Gandhi

Quote of the day – Arthur H. Dekruyter

images_funny_church

“Where is the church at 11:25 on Monday morning? The church then is in the dentist’s office, in the car sales room and repair shop, and out in the truck. It is in the hospital, in the classroom and in the home. It is in the offices, insurance, law, real estate, whatever it is. That is where the church is, wherever God’s people are. They are doing what they ought to be doing. They are honouring God, not just while they worship in a building but out there.”
