A Fathers day Prayer

Good Morning to all the Fathers out there this fine Fathers day. Well its our day again and I truly hope each and everyone one of you have the type of day fitting for a King. You know I have found out over the years that Gods  days should be our days and not Our days be Gods. But as I was sitting here pondering on this blog this day, I wonder and a lot my think I have lost the rest of my mind and maybe I have, but I wonder if Jesus ever turns to the Father in which he sits at the very right hand of and says on this Day, Happy Fathers day Dad. It was just a thought.
Today there will be millions saddened by the thoughts of Fathers that have gone on to be with Jesus. then again there will be Families that will gather with the Dads on this special day. There will in some cases be BBQ, Swimming, Some drinking, and just down right fun with DAD.There will be gifts handed out, hugs, and tears. There will visitations to cemeteries, flowers put out flags placed, just some of the things that Not only do People do on their Mothers days but this day also. It is a day, to give thanks for those Fathers here and those who have passed. To every dad I wish to You a very very Happy Fathers day.
Today I would Pray a Fathers day prayer, Not only for My Dad, Grandfather, His Dad or even the Step or half Fathers, But for all The Dads around the World who hold this day special . My prayer would be for all the Son's and Daughter's, Grand kids,that they would at least hug the neck of a Father weather it be their Father or Someones Else's. We have heard that Great old old song ( From the halls of Montezuma to the shore of Tripoli ). There are fathers in every walk of Life, Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, Fire Fighter, Police, Sheriffs, And Deputies, and all the in between. Yes they are Fathers,

And yes this is A
 FATHERS  DAY PRAYER

Dear Gracious Heavenly Father I call upon you this day Dad to look all around this great round planet earth that You Yourself set in motion.My prayer to you would be Father that you will look down upon every gathering this day and make it a great one for all. And not to sound negative Dad, Bless each and everyone of them, Because as we know that everyday of Man is numbered and there will be some that will not make it til the next gathering. Father I pray that if I have any Favor or Power, That I can call upon you, But it is only up to you Dad, That from the Boundaries of Iraq , to the mountain regions of Afghanistan. From one end to the other end of this earth That you let no death come to any Father on this day, But as I said Father I leave that in your hand. Father I pray that your will be done in the lives of  All Men, Today, tomorrow and forever. For all the Dads fighting to keep this Country and other Countries safe watch over them and bring them home sooner than expected safe and in one peace. for those Jesus Who protect us from the evil this world offers protect them as they protect and serve. For all the Fathers with Kids that are Grown, let them be a joy to their Kids and Grand Kids , as Jesus is to you  Heavenly Father. and as we begin to hand out the Cards and Gifts or what ever it may be Dear Father Please let it be done in the Name Of Jesus. And Dad, Father God, let this be a day of days that you will pour out your conviction Spirit upon every Dad this day and let them turn their Lives over to your to walk in your ways and statutes. Father You are the only Dad I have left, and the only Gift I can give you is me, Father. thank you so much for all the Gifts that you have given me. Three great kids of my own and extras, Amanda, Jessica, Matthew, Malissa, Misty, Todd, My First Born and dearest grand child >; Emmy,Liz, Abby,Lil Adam,Big Adam, Dakota, Kevin, DJ, Lil Matthew, Precious Logan, Randall, Lil Daniel, Lil miss glamorous Kaiti.

Happy Father days all Especially YOU Father God.

kids kids kids do the strangest things

We've all heard the old saying kids say the darndest things, yeah they also do the strangest, stupidest things at times. I have 3 kids I love very much and an extended family of 3 plus 10 grandkids. Dang I feel so old, lol But they're all good kids I guess, I'll let you know when I get 70 or 75 years old and if they ain't put me in a nursing home by then, they'll all be great kids. My son Matthew is turning 25 this year and when we do talk I love it when he says trust me, I really do he's a good young man. He'll be 25 and getting married in September to a beautiful, smart, warm hearted young lady, she'll keep him in line lol for sure. Then I have an eldest daughter I love very much but don't get to talk to her or my grand kids there very often but I guess she's a good girl also. But I think she's a momma's girl, no offense intended. I have 3 beautiful grand daughters from her and a very handsome grandson who looks to much like his dad,lol, and has killer blue eyes, her husband's a good man too, I Love them so much. And to my problem child she 28 she's an alright kid but has severe issues lol, I have 2 handsome grandsons from her great kids, strange momma, lol

This one is a very strange, strange, and strange girl, Her grandpa used to have this saying I adopted, It's "take my advice, or do what you damn well please". Guess what? Yeah y'all probably figured it out already, she's a do as she damn well pleases, lol. She's a great girl also, she just has this weird saying she says all the time, it's "I wish I'D listened to my dad". Dang it girl how many times have we heard that? uhhhhh 4 or 5 or more, lol. Well you know the Bible says to train up a child in the way he or she should go and when their old they will come back to it, but jeez where did this girl got her training from? I don't remember any of this stuff the way she does, lol. I won't go into details I don't want to embarrass her, so when I say kids do the strangest, stupidest things y'all can read between the lines ok. I'll leave it at that. lol

well by for now jesseb's

Not a dad (open letter to my kids)

I have often talked about being a preacher for so many years, and even though its a part of my past, I can't forget it. Just about everyday, I'm reminded about it. We are only human and we make mistakes some we overcome and some we seem to not be able to let go of. The Bible talks about forgiveness, and that we have to forgive others their trespasses. That's what the word says we must do to be called a child of GOD.

Everyone has skeletons in their closets, and if they say they don't, they are in denial. So I must say that even I have a few skeletons in my past. Somethings are better left in the closet, but sometimes they have to come out to clear the air, especially to clear the air and end misunderstanding and turmoil. Sometimes it just makes things worse. The only perfect people in the world have been taken home already, Abraham and Elijah.

I was far from perfect in my past, and I guess that was even when I was preaching also. As I sit back and try to remember, I think I made a lot of mistakes, they say it's supposed to be GOD, family, then work. In my past it turned out to be work, GOD, then family. Talk about having things backwards that is me. Out of 22 tears of Preaching, I think I might have had it right the first 10 years. We gave GOD 110%, a lot of folks thought we were Jehovah witnesses, because of our beliefs. We didn't celebrate many of the holidays because of their pagan origins: Christmas, Easter, Valentines day, Halloween. We did celebrate the fourth of July, Thanksgiving, and a few others, and yes I robbed my kids of some of the best things and times. Am I ashamed of not celebrating those holidays? No. WHY, because they are some of the hidden truths of the Bible. Still I wasn't a dad.

The reason I say that I may have had it right the first 10 years, is because it was GOD, family work. I worked in construction during that time and had time to be a Dad, plenty of time to serve GOD and be a dad and work. Then I got a job which I thought was a blessing, until I myself turned it into a curse. We worked rotating 3 shifts and an opportunity presented itself to work 16 hours a day, and I took advantage of it. I worked six days a week, 12 to 16 hours a day, then it went to seven days a week. It was WORK, WORK, WORK, and not much time for GOD or family. In my trying to make a living for my kids, so they wouldn't need like I did when I was a kid, I lost my kids. Making sure they had everything, didn't make me the Dad they needed. I missed their childhood. I wasn't a dad at all.

Now today I have to ask my 3 (grown) kids to forgive me for not being there for them in the way they needed me to be. I have to say mostly to my son, (my youngest), I am sorry for not being there all the time I should have been. I know that we did do a few things together, but not enough to be a real Dad, and I truly regret it. I know you hold it against me for divorcing your mom, however, there are things that went on that you'll never know of, and I will go to my grave with it I guess.

To my son, the day I left your mom, I gave up on GOD also, but I never gave up on you. I hope you can truly forgive me. In life it takes two to tango, and it wasn't all my fault, but I DO take my share of the blame. So with that I can say no more. I love you son.

I love my kids and miss them all, and even though there were things going on they'll never know, I want them to know it wasn't them. I was not a dad.

Hopefully one day you all can completely forgive me.

jesseb's your dad.

Shalom and Peace to Israel.
