Father’s Day

Fathers represent those in our lives who protect and provide.When our fathers have not protected and provided well, forgive them.
When they have not been adequately protected and provided for by their fathers, they may not know how.
When they have not been nurtured and nourished by their mothers, they may not become mature adults.

It is our responsibility now to teach our sons by our example how to be a good Father.
It is our responsibility to nurture and nourish, protect and provide for our sons.
When prior generations have failed to model good parenting, it is ours to do.
When our children are neglected and mistakenly imprinted, it is ours to correct.

We cannot correct the past with criticism.
We can right wrongs done by doing what is right.
We can educate the ignorant.
We can forgive them, for they did not know what they were doing.

Fathers also represent our forefathers, the visionaries and leaders who saw a better way.
They deserve our appreciation and willingness to listen, to bless and to utilize all their best.
Those who have envisioned and created, those who protected and provided, deserve our gratitude.
Let us today be open-minded and look for the Good, the Gifts and the Blessings, in those who serve.

When we celebrate the Good, the Good is increased.
When we acknowledge our blessings, the blessings expand.
When we remember what is helpful and healing, we encourage more of  what we value.
When we honor our fathers, the men in our lives, we nurture the best in them in every way.

When you look for good memories, you will find them.
When you seek what you value, you will see it in yourself and others.
When you want to be the light sharing the gratitude you feel, you inspire others to do better.
When you undo, forgive and erase all that is not healthy, whole and loving, you make room for the Good.

Father’s Day is a gift to ourselves.
Father’s Day is an opportunity to practice our spirituality.
Father’s Day open us to be appreciative and affirming.
Father’s Day presents us with the gift of remembering the Good, the Beautiful and the Holy.

We are here to heal the past darkness, ignorance and pain.
We are here to reveal the present Light, consciousness and joy.
We are the Healing Presence volunteering to correct errant paths and claim a better way.
Be conscious of Loving and affirming every Man, Boy and Elder that they claim their own inner Good.

I love the work we do together.
We are the lightworkers, the healers, the wayshowers and the ones who believe, see and live Love.
Trust your inner healing work is making a BIG difference.
Trust you forgiveness and right perception is changing lives, attitudes and families.

Bless us all, everyone.

Do It Anyway
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies.  Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you.
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy it all overnight.
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough.
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway.
