Happy Memorial Day,

A Memorial Day Poem 
In loving memory of all those we buried. 
To those fallen in war, and trials. 
You have laid down and will not return to this earth but we will all be changed. We all have to put on incorruptible bodies.  
To those that are resting in eternity with God,
I am happy you are resting, 
I am sad that we have to say goodbye, 
I am hopeful that one day we shall met again, 
Our great hope, 
The reason why we believe,
The reason why we suffer, 
The reason why we fight, 
It is to see that great day, 
The promise of the second return of the Messiah, 
He said we shall be caught up in the air to meet him, 
and the dead shall rise first,
and those that remain will be caught up in the air, 
only a fool wants to stay here, 
As we can see things are shaky, 
Life is uncertain, 
To my love ones....
I miss you and I will see you again, 
To those that have lost their ones, 
as you cry remember that death is just a doorway. 
Believe for your love ones,
Ask God to save them every night.
Lord take hold of their souls if should be their time to go. 

It is not the perfect man that goes to heaven, 
but it is the believing man.
It is the man who confesses his faults,

and we all have them, 
it is the man who walked as straight as he could.
Not shedding innocent blood but treating others like he wants to be treated. 

We all have to cross over but what matters is where you go when its time to go. 

Psalms 75
For the director of music. 
To the tune of "Do Not Destroy."
A Psalms of Asaph. A song. 

We praise you, God, 
we praise you, for your Name is near,
people tell of your wonderful deeds. 
You say, "I choose the appointed time, 
it is I who judge with Equity.
When the earth and all its people quake, 
it is I who hold its pillars firm. 
To the arrogant I say, 'Boast  no more, 
and to the wicked, Do not lift up 
your horns. 
Do not lift your horns against heaven; 
do not speak so defiantly. 
No one from the east or the west 
or from the desert can exalt themselves.
It is God who judges. 
He brings one down, he exalts another. 
In the hand of the Lord is a cup full 
of foaming wine mixed with spices; 
he pours it out, and all the wicked of the earth
drink it down to its very dregs. 
As for me, I will declare this forever; 
I will sing praise to God of Jacob. 
Who says, I will cut off the horns of all the wicked, 
but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up. 

Horns
"A horn is defined as a sharp, permanent projection on the head of animals. It comprises proteins adjoining the core and a covering of keratin. Horns are usually spiral or curvy in shape and sometimes have edges. In most cases, only male animal species have horns although some few female species do. The growth of horns in animals begins immediately after birth, and they continue to develop throughout their lifetime. In the animal kingdom, most animals of different species have horns that come in different shapes and sizes. Some animals have very long horns."


Purpose

  • mate selection
  • sparing with other animals
  • intimidation 
  • to keep cool in hot climates
  • People do not literally have horns but horns are representational of a male intimating or lifting himself up.

John 4 
Jesus Heals an Officials Son

After two days he left for Galilee. (Now Jesus himself had pointed out that a prophet has no honor in his own country). When he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, for they also had been there. 

Once more he visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. And there was a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum. When this man heard Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son, who was close to death. 

Unless you people see signs and wonders, Jesus told him, you will never believe." 

The royal official said, "Sir, come down before my child dies." 

"Go," Jesus replied, "your son will live." 

The man took Jesus at his word and departed. While he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was living. When he inquired as to the time when his son got better, they said to him, "Yesterday, at one in the afternoon, the fever left him. 

Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, "You son will live." So he and his whole household believed. This was the second sign Jesus performed after coming from Judea to Galilee. 


Have a great day!r
We shall live on that great day.....
