Forgive Them, For They Know

Not What They Do

Can you imagine how much of a load our Savior carried for us on his back? What he faced and endured? He took it all, he took up every bit of slack.

As they spit upon him, despised him, denounced him and said that he was a false prophet. That his words were not true. Our Savior and Lord spoke to his father. Forgive them, for they know not what they do.

When he was taken to trial, in front of Ceasar’s highest and utmost. What a shameful and pitiful day we sent our Savior to the whipping post.

Oh what a precious shepherd he was, to lay his life down for his flock. Each and every sheep. While he was beaten and whipped, his followers looked on. They did not rush the soldiers, they could only watch in disbelief and weep.

After enduring all of that, our Saviors task on earth still wasn’t done. Jesus, had to be put upon the cross to die for us. For he is our Lord’s only begotten son.

Still as his life’s blood slowly flowed away, our Savior kept his promise and faith true. Jesus spoke, Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.

Our Savior, Jesus died on the cross for us that day. And he’s prepared us a place to live, a home with him in peace and harmony forever we will stay.

Think about it, close your eyes. Search your heart and mind and reach out for what is true. And give thanks and bless the Savior who spoke the words, Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.

Lily Of My Heart

I often ask myself of how I feel about you, and I always tell myself the same. Your love and friendship is more precious than anything in this world, from where you came.

You have given me inspiration to carry on with my life. You have stood beside me during my fresh start. Because of your love, trust and faith in me, you will forever be the lily of my heart.

Sometimes I do things that others don’t understand. As they get angry for what I do. A wrong turn, mistake, bad decision in life’s past. But they aren’t as understanding, forgiving and loving as you.

You have been there for me, and I am here for you. And when we speak the words of good bye as we part, remember me. For you will forever be, the lily of my heart.

Bitchy, Mitchy

Check the tires, check the brakes, check that ABS light. And don’t forget to check your jakes.

Now everything is in working condition and all is alright. I’ve done 6 hours of checking stuff out, I’m tired. I should get to running with this load. I will, just not tonight.

Well that dispatcher asked me for the fourth time today where I am. And asked if I am going to be late. I let him know the load will be on time with no damage. I run with a clean slate.

Here I go, a good night’s rest. Still feeling rough, but I will do my best. I’ve had my breakfast and talked for an hour or so. I better start driving, time to get up and go.

Yep, I can talk the talk and walk the walk. I just wish life was easier and I didn’t have to work so hard. I would love to go fishing someday, or have a little time to just lay around in my back yard.

Well my phone is ringing, it’s that trucker they call bear. He is always checking up on me whether far or near. He gave me a nick name that makes my skin so darned itchy. I know he honors my friendship and I do his. I just wish he would stop calling me Bitchy Mitchy.

A Pardon For Me

My years so far upon this old earth really have not been that bad. I have gone through some rough times, good times and times that were pretty sad.

But during my walks on this pathway, I am traveling to and fro and abroad. There is a presence with and around me. I do my best to keep up faithfully with my Lord, my God.

Yes, I have stumbled and fell many times, over from words I’ve spoken and things I’ve done. And regardless, no matter how good I try to be. I will mess up again before the next rising or setting sun.

But there is someone I am truly thankful for with all my heart. He knows my life story, from the beginning to the end, the finish to the start.

My Saviors life, he gave while nailed upon a cross, made from a dogwood tree. As his life’s blood dripped away, my precious Savior sent a pardon for me.

A Wish For You

As I was going along my travels today, looking at God’s creations. I felt a little sad, a little dismay.

I went back to my younger years, how things bothered me. And how you comforted me and my fears.

I thought about growing up, things that I have done. And some of those things, I know you and dad wished I wasn’t your son.

I can’t go back and turn things around. But Mom a wish for you. My love for you is strong and sound.

A wish for you. Your days be forever bright, and that
