INSPIRATIONAL TALES FOR CHILDREN

To Bathe or Not to Bathe

If a man washes just his flesh is his or her sin gone or is his or her sin accumulated?

What makes a man or woman clean is his/her unwillingness to flaunt his/her disobedience in his/her Father’s eye and his/her wish to change his/her ways and live a more Godly life.

Father said when he spoke to Jesus and said “Worry, not for the works of iniquity have flourished more and more since you came my dear son.”

Jesus said “Have I died in vain my Sweet Father God?”

Father God said “Nay, My Sweet charitable son, Nay.  The world will feel his wrath for they have decided to heed not my will, but their own and do as they will!”

The Lamb said “What if I come again Dear Sweet Father?”

Father said with solemn quiet purpose “They would do you worst if you came again!”

Jesus said “What purpose does it mean to refrain me from coming?”

Father God looked at Jesus with a glint of humor in his eye and said “I will come with you and we will see these wondrous powers they have ourselves.”

Jesus said with fear for all and said no more but “I will come!”

The Lamb

A Lamb walked amongst them and said with appalling candor “Why?”

Looking at each with an agreeing mindset they all said “Why Not?” with mouths flooding with cruel mirth.

As they laughed together and tittered with agreement again and said “Are we not the sterling as well as someone!”

The Lamb looked at them with sad agreement and said “Yes, you are.” and walked away with his mind on God’s purpose and intent.

An Angel Called Broken Wing

A day of lear was a time when the ways were simple and true.  Looking through the window glass was a girl of unnatural ability.  Everyone looked at her with adoration because she was so sweet and gave so freely.  Her very voice was melodious and cascaded sunshine on all who heard her.

Small and petite she seemed to glide on escalating sweetness and grace.  Hiding deep within her was a little Angel named Charlene who bubbled with joy and love of her Father God.  She looked to him for her all and gave sweet miracles hidden in chocolate kisses.

One day the Lord God said to Charlene “The day has come to do your first initiation and flight.”  Looking at God with big huge eyes she blinked with nervous fright and said “now”.  God looked at her with the sweetest expression of loving patience and kindness and said “Yes, now”.

“What do I have to do Lord?” said Charlene.

Her Father God answered “Look deep within yourself and feel the Loving Spirit of your Father touch you and look upon the receiver of the gift and say “I give to you mercy and healing and good life”.

Charlene asked with eagerness and smile “When can I go Lord?”

Father God replied with smiles woven throughout “Now and said you will be called Broken Wing for you have blessed me and I have blessed you to care for my sheep as well as you”.

Father God went on further and said repeat after me and say “I am thy littlest angel and I would like to fly high and glide down and bless those in need.”

Charlene repeated what her Father God said and out came from her back the most beautiful gossamer wings which fluttered and caressed the wind and said “I am she of the Great One who loves you true.”

Looking at God with the most sweet look Charlene went down on knees and said “Father wherever you send me I will go and do your will.”

One Tree Left in the Valley of Denial

Once upon a time there was a valley of total agreement.  Everywhere you went in this valley was yes we agree, we agree and we agree.  There was no argument and no malice or meanness just agreement.  The thought of disagreeing was hideously frowned upon and looked as abnormal.

One day a little one named Billy was born and became a disagreement.  He was smart and studious and he disagreed and disagreed about everything.  Everything anyone did he came and went and disagreed and said why?  Why?  Why? Never did he go around and not agree.  He questioned everything and found fault using logic and criticism.  Every day he found fault, found fault, found fault with everything but did nothing to correct what he found fault with.

He looked here and he looked there but he could not and would not try to help.  He just went hither and thither laughing to himself looking at their faces whe he came.  As he came the wheel began to turn and the effect on them began to tell a story of its own.  Can you imagine why is this that and that this?  He laughed within himself with wicked glee just to see the mortification on each face.  Ha Ha Ha he rolled on the ground secretly holding his stomach I got them.  Shouting loudly in the woods I got them!  Look at them trying to be so pious and righteous now he thought many times.  There is no need to consensually agree and agree to everything it just ain’t right but I’m not God.

Laying in the sweet violet heather Billy twirled a rose under his nose thinking sarcastic thoughts about the people in the village.  He composed many skits in his mind to rattle the people before they became like the people in the Bible at the Tower of Babble.  Knowing and seeing the truth that God Is Billy knew that a horrid wrong was being indoctrinated in the people who mindlessly went along with anything and thought not of the wrong or the good of a thing.

So Billy plotted and watched and waited for them to foolishly act as he pursued them with righteous fervor he watched ingratitude come in and become a friend.  Anger and meanness looked from each eye to each eye.  The people begun to fight in all types of ways and became enemies.  The life became sour and each face below and top was twisted with hated.

As Billy continued his destruction, one little one called Theus said “No, I won’t argue because I am fair” and from this little one A Tree of Denial grew in the Valley and life became as sweet as before with the ability to agree or disagree.

Epiphany

Looking beneath sooty long black lashes long inquiring

A thief of love who stole a heart that claimed stone

Heart stilled quiet whispered again

Thoughts looked at each other and sighed with great sweetness laughing gently

Why? Why? Whispered the wind in flurry and waves

Burgeoning questions flowed with marching delights crackling and laughter started to bubble within as the battle ensued and caused a moot

Touché Touché granted an admirable thrust but Mon Chéri the lines be drawn as the widows eyes closed and became

Moniker stomped his foot and said who you not

Clever Clever is the eyes that laughed with serious doubt

Dare you understand who watches you with a serious pout

Gracias Gracias I can’t believe the film and podium played the same

Barbara Jordan

Inspired by What do you do with a voice like that?  The story of extraordinary Congresswoman Barbara Jordan.  Written by:  Chris Barton and Illustrated by Ekua Holmes.

A woman before her time

Intelligent, charismatic, personable, persuasive, caring, brave, with a Dream

A Dream for the world, for the Country, for the People and Blessed Populace

While others played she dreamed, counted and mentally flew in a land of the Great Texans

With a voice that said I will, I will, I will fight for you, love you and dream with you

Even though it may seem impossible, I will be America and fight the impressionistic, I will take a chance for I love you all

Fear is what, Fear is dear as my mother’s and father’s tears but I will press on for a story to be told and heard

Inspired by stimulating intellectual value she moved, grew and evolved to become one of the first black female lawyers

A leader, A leader to exemplify her oratorical abilities she accepted her ability and went forward to dream of making wrongs right, to see both sides and even then she remembered who she was

Fighting for a New America to be free, a chance to enter the political arena to put those changes in place and help the all

Her motto was and is still more justice, more equality, free the people of the yoke of oppression in a time of fear, supporting the need for laws and structural protection of the inner core of the country

Protecting the workforce of America and seeing the need of all once again as a Voice that cares

Representing her race and sex admirably she moved to the next step as first a Texas State Senator, then in 1972 to a United States Congresswoman in Washington, D.C.

Risking all she took a stance during the troubled time of President Nixon tenure and stayed faithful to the Constitution

Our Constitution as she stated is our all and anything against it and the People is not to be allowed

We are People, the Constitution is the very life, blood and flesh and mind and heart of the People, Country and Nation

She became a right in the chaos of disaster and mayhem when she defended her stance

The Dream of America shone in her life as a Beacon of Sweet Justice and Life

She Became.

E – Equality

J – Justice  Without we are not Human!

T – Trust
