Easter! What is it?

I’m glad Easter is NOT recognized in Public Schools. Then, I don’t have to teach the real meaning of the Bunny and egg. None of which has anything to do with our Lord’s ultimate sacrifice for mankind, or the wonderful benefits of salvation and redeeming us back to GOD.
So, the real info on Easter I took from several sources. “The name “Easter” has its roots in ancient polytheistic religions (paganism).
The egg was a sacred symbol among the Babylonians. They believed an old fable about an egg of wondrous size which was supposed to have fallen from heaven into the Euphrates River. From this marvelous egg - according to the ancient story - the Goddess Astarte (Easter) [Semiramis], was hatched. And so the egg came to symbolize the Goddess Easter.”[11] The idea of a mystic egg spread from Babylon to many parts of the world.[12] In Rome, the mystic egg preceded processions in honor of the Mother Goddess Roman. The egg was part of the sacred ceremonies of the Mysteries of Bacchus. The Druids used the egg as their sacred emblem. In Northern Europe, China and Japan the eggs were colored for their sacred festivals.[13]
The rabbit is well known as a sexual symbol of fertility. In various parts of the world, religions which developed from Babel also associate the rabbit with periodicity, both human and lunar (Egypt, China, etc.). As you may remember, the Mother Goddess Semiramis (Easter) is associated with the Moon. In other words, the Easter bunny symbolizes the Mother Goddess. Annual Spring time fertility rituals are associated worship of the Mother Goddess and Tammuz, the reincarnation of her husband Nimrod.
Later, when this adulterous and idolatrous woman gave birth to an illegitimate son, she claimed that this son, Tammuz by name, was Nimrod reborn.”[4] Semiramis “claimed that her son was supernaturally conceived [no human father] and that he was the promised seed, the 'savior'” - promised by God in Genesis 3:15. “However, not only was the child worshipped, but the woman, the MOTHER, was also worshipped as much (or more) than the son!”[5] Nimrod deified as the god of the sun and father of creation. Semiramis became the goddess of the moon, fertility, etc. "In the old fables of the Mystery cults, their 'savior' Tammuz, was worshipped with various rites at the Spring season. According to the legends, after he was slain [killed by a wild boar], he went into the underworld. But through the weeping of his mother… he mystically revived in the springing forth of the vegetation - in Spring! Each year a spring festival dramatically represented this supposed 'resurrection' from the underworld.[6] Thus, a terrible false religion developed with its sun and moon worship, priests, astrology, demonic worship, worship of stars associated with their gods, idolatry, mysterious rites, human sacrifice, and more.”

Love letter to one of my sons

my dear son,I want to make this public statement to you, since you decided to hang your pain out in the internet world of Facebook, to 600, million members. First son, I would like you to know that I am truly sorry if I neglected to love you enough while you were growing up. I admit I was often too busy being a single mom raising 3boys and 1 girl, without a male role model or financial assistance. I admit that working 3 jobs going to University full time, it was not an easy ride for you. So you probable needed more hugs and kisses than the others did. For this I beg you to forgive me. I will give you hugs now if you will accept it. I’m not telling you anything you do not already know, but maybe you need me to remind you. I see right now you are being lied to by the devil.I want you to know son, I love you as only a mother can love her child. I am truly sorry for the pain you are experiencing right now, and the depression you are experiencing. I can tell you that when I was at my lowest knowing I had no family to help us, as you know I never knew my dad and my grandmother and father raised me. I know it was not an easy task to stay grounded in God when you feel lost. This is why I stayed close to Holy Spirit, God our comfort. He is a Father to the fatherless, and husband to widows. I am truly grateful that He showed to us as a family many miracles. So that you would know He cares about you and your needs. He has been a loving, forgiving, caring, and father to us as a family. He always provided opportunity for us. Son, if your path was foggy it was as a result of your own ideas, opinions and lack of knowledge. The word, Jesus says we perish because we lack knowledge of what God wants for us. If we lean on our own understanding we will miss our way. Son, now the rebuke. As long as you live in this house with me, you will honor me as your mother and God as your father. At 26 years, I should not have to tell you this. But since your mind and spirit needs to be renewed, I am speaking to that which is compelling you to write obscene profanity on facebook. You have disgraced your earthly family and also your spiritual family. Your testimony what ever it was, is now null and void. So son if You write one more obscene, disgusting, profane comment on face book, I will turn off the internet and will not allow you access to anything in my house that you presently using free of cost . You will have to go find a job to pay the water, light and internet bills for yourself. I promise you, if I have to I will move out and live someplace else, and leave you in this house alone to the demons and your independence. Love is tough! Your mom.

The ( 3P's ) Prayer/ Pledge / Public School ?????

This was sent to be by a concerned parent and I thought I should share it with all who will read
this note

"
BY A 15 yr. Old SCHOOL KID
New Pledge of Allegiance (TOTALLY AWESOME)!
Since the Pledge of Allegiance
And
The Lord's Prayer Are not allowed in most Public schools anymore Because the word 'God' is mentioned.....
A kid in Arizona wrote the attached
NEW School prayer:
Now I sit me down in school Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God. Finds mention of Him very odd.

If scripture now the class recites, It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow. Becomes a Federal matter now.

Our hair can be purple, orange or green, That's no offense; it's a freedom scene..
The law is specific, the law is precise. Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.

For praying in a public hall Might offend someone with no faith at all..
In silence alone we must meditate, God's name is prohibited by the state.

We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks, And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks...
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible. To quote the Good Book makes me liable.

We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen, And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong, We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong..

We can get our condoms and birth controls, Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles..
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed, No word of God must reach this crowd.

It's scary here I must confess, When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make: Should I be shot; My soul please take!
Amen "

"Yo Mama " a note to parents

If there is one thing I’ve learned from the Ghetto is that children of the ghetto love their family especially their mama. You better not say “You mama” to a child from the ghetto. They will kill you, fight with you. “Don’t talk about my mama” That child’s mother could be a hooker, dead, or in jail. The ghetto rule is, you love your mama and family no matter what. Ghetto children will defend their mama like a wild cat and dog fight.
Just like Joseph who was thrown into the well by his brothers. His family lied, thought he was dead. Yet years later, Joseph forgave his brothers, father and family and God blessed Joseph greatly. It’s like an unwritten rule in the Ghetto you must love your family.
Paradoxically, children who were given everything, opportunities, and loving families, seem to follow this ungrateful whining, complaining world. They are like the children of Israel after they came out of Egypt. Parents pray that God changes their mindset. That Holy Spirit will show them why they were placed in the family God chose for them.
Romans 12:1-3 “Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God”
Let me use my children for example, three boys, one girl. My identical twins as they grew I observed one child would obey while the other rebelled. One played with dolls while the other with robots, same setting different responses, emotions and will.
Now as a parent of adult children, I pray that my children will say, “ Father God Thank you I had a home not an orphanage. Thank you I knew who my mother and father, grand parents and family. Thank you my mother and father are both educated, college graduates, never did drugs, where not in jail and had sound mind. Thank you that they taught me and exposed me to salvation at a very early age. Thank you I lived in some of the best neighborhoods, had some great opportunities to travel to places like New York, Jamaica, Bermuda. Thank you I went to some of the best schools in the US. Thank you that I inherited a healthy body. Thank You I was healthy growing up I had no diseases. Thank you my parents told me they loved me every day. Thank you I had a bath every day and my clothes were always clean. Thank you my parents prayed for me daily."
So, parents pray that your children will be grateful to be alive, grateful for the environment where God placed them to be nurtured and trained for adulthood. Then release them to the might hand of God.
