Charles Phillips The Mason

April 17, 2013

What Is A Mason?

A Mason is a man, a brother whose trust is in  GOD. He meets you on the level and acts upon the SQUARE TRUTH is his COMPASS and he is never PLUMB. He has a true GRIP on all that is RITE.  He is loyal to his order and whatever his DEGREE. He is MASTER of himself.  In the lodge of life he wears unsustained white LAMB SKIN of INNOCENCE from his INITIATION of his ENTERED APPRENTICE. He travels ever FAST toward the light of WISDOM until he receives the final DIVINE PASSWORD that admits him into the INEFFABLE PRESENCE OF THE ETERNAL SUPREME GRAND MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE - GOD

A Message From Grandad to Us All

April 17, 2013

This is a message written and inspired to me by my grandaddy. In my spirit I feel who would say these word to us all.

To my friends & family There is something I have to say. First thing first you need to know I am ok.

 I am telling you this from heaven where I now reside with our Heavenly Father above. Here there is no sadness or tears, just his everlasting love.

I don't want you to be unhappy becuase Im no longer in sight. I'm forever with you morning, noon and night.

I had to leave because my life on earth was through. My first wife and son met me at the gates and said " I welcome you."  


Here God said  " I needed you here as a part of my plan". There is much to do to help mortal man.  He provided me with a list of things to do. But most importantly, I must watch over all of you.

I am at your side every day week and year. And, when you are sad it will be me who wipes your tears.


When your walking down the street with me on your mind. I am walking in your footsteps only a half a step behind.


When you think of my old life on earth and all of our years; because you are human, you will shed tears.


Don't be afraid to cry. It helps relieve the pain. Just remember, there would be no flowers without the rain.


I wish I could tell you God's plan. But, if I did you wouldn't understand.

To my family and friends, trust in GOD for he knows what's best. I'm not far away from you. Just look above the crest.


I am happy because my life here was worthwhile knowing as I passed along the way I brought a smile.


              
         


      

  
  

His Family Ties

April 16, 2013

Charles Phillips Sr. accomplished so much. He married twice. First to Beatrice Virginia Phillips and gave birth to Deborah, Charles, and Crystal.  Charles loved his wife for 49 years. This was his child hood sweatheart. They raised Charles and Deborah in Chavis Heights in Raleigh, North Carolina. Then he moved the family to Harlem. Then they lived in Queens for many years until they retired and moved back to Raleigh, NC.

Charles finished the Navy in 1946 and the Air Force in 1953. He was an accomplished musician. He fought in World War II and was  a Mason, Shriner, member of Eastern Starts, former President of Washington High Alumni. He attended Shaw University and played tennis there too. Charles travelled the world with many people like Harry Belafonte and so many more. He was respected and admired by many. A resourceful man who knew how to get things done. A leader in the community and among family and friends.

When Charles lost his wife in 1995 he remarried his " Helen Baby."  He truly loved her dearly. They married in  February, 1996 and till death did they part. Helen stood by Charles and they enjoyed their new life together. Then Helen took care of him when he became sick. She nurtured him and they travelled the world and enjoyed life together. He was a loving husband to Helen and embraced his new family and took care of them the only way he knew how to provide for a family.

If you didn't know how to take care of a family he truly could have written a book on it. His family will miss him dearly. His friends, coworkers, neighbors and all will miss him too. He knew no strangers and he was outspoken and direct. He left a lasting impression on you. 

He had a younger brother that he was very fond of too. They were close and had each others back. True example of brotherhood was exemplified between the two. It was a blessing to watch them blossom and grow old together with their families. 


Charles was a Mighty Grandfather too. He treated them all like his very own. DIrected, loved, guided, scolded, spoiled like an parent would their child. Going to Grandaddy 's house was always a treat. He knew how to put a smile on your face and tell you what you needed to hear.  He gave everyone a nick name and these will be cherished for life.

Mr. Phillips was a good man!  A strong man!   A WISE man!  An Educated man! A Man of Valor and his legacy will live on.

May he rest in peace.

Love Crystal

My Dad

April 15, 2013

This is a story about  a man name Charles Phillips. Born, October 8, 1926 and left this earth on April 15th, 2013.  He was an awesome man. A father, husband, provider, brother, and more. I can't begin to tell you enough to do any justice to the life of Charles Phillips. But, I will return with the update.

Until then I will say he left this place after fighting a good fight. He equipped us all to stay behind in this place. I won't be the same and I will share the story in time.
