Even If..............
Even if I never see another sunset,Coloring our world as the day goes by.Even if I never see another star,Twinkling in the midnight sky.Even if I never lay my head on my pillow,At the end of a long, hard day.Even if I never accomplish things I wanted for this life,At least I’ll be able to say.That I did the things I should have done,As God would have me to do.I’ve made mistakes along the path,But God forgave and let me start anew.I cared about others more than myself,Yet I always tried to put God first.I read my Bible whenever I could,And I always loved to go to church.I put my faith in God above,I tried to keep a prayer in my heart.Making Heaven was my goal,From the very start.I tried to be a witness to others,And not a stumbling block.I kept my eyes on the eastern sky,For I knew we were racing against the clock.I’m ready now, God, for you to appear,For you’re coming in the twinkling of an eye.And even if I never awake on this old earth again,I’m ready to take to the sky.

~~~ I Dreamed of Heaven ~~~
I dreamed of Heaven the other night
And pearly gates swung wide,
Jesus with halo bright
Ushered me inside.
And there to my astonishment
Stood folks I judged and labeled
As quite unfit, of little worth
And spiritually disabled.
Indignant words rose to my li ps
But never were set free.
For every face showed stunned surprise -
No one expected me.
It isn't the size of your house as such
That matters so much at all.
It's the gentle hand and its loving touch,
That make it great or small.
The friends who come and the hour they
Who out of your house depart,
Will judge it not by the style you show,
But rather by the size of your heart.
It isn't the size of your head so much,
It isn't the wealth you found.
That will make you happy -- it's how you touch
The lives that are all around.
For making money is not hard --
To live life well is an art:
How people love you, how they regard,
Is all in the size of your heart.

Enjoyment
Life is made enjoyable not by certain people,
activities or circumstances.
Life is enjoyable when you decide to enjoy it.
And that can be any time, at any place,
with or without anyone else.
Whether the moment is quiet or noisy, bright or dark,
peaceful or frenzied, you can decide to enjoy.
Enjoyment is much more than just a pleasant experience.
Enjoyment adds power and effectiveness to whatever you're doing.
When you're enjoying life,
you become better at it.
Enjoyment makes you more focused,
more committed, and more inspired.
Enjoyment connects you to the best that is within you.
And it shows in the results you get.
Even when there's no good reason to enjoy where you are,
enjoyment is its own best reason.
So choose to enjoy, and delight in the real value it brings.
I dreamed I stood in Trinidad
in a bay of serenity and calm.
I saw in front of me did stand - an Angel
of beauty precious rare.
She came in love to whisper
of how the angelic realm did consider
- the hearts of humankind.
She told me that we all were really wonderful
in how we did react
to the changes God's kingdom
was bringing to the earth.
Her sister did carry
all the colours I could discern
-needed for transformation
as the journey continued on
to play the game, we humans call "Life".
The colour of her angel wings
reached out
to touch my heart.
I could feel the laughter bubbling
in reaction -to the colours light.
I floated back to dreamland
and awoke with knowledge new
of how the use of colour
can transform -both me and you.
The Tree of Life
I want you to picture a lovely blue sky.
God created this sky, and the sky…is a part of God.
The air is very thin, and God is present in this thinness.
Beneath the sky lies a grassy field.
The soil is rich, moist, full of minerals, nutrients, and water;
all the things necessary to nourish life.
God created this soil, and the soil…is a part of God.
God is present in its richness.
The soil…is the sacred Earth.
In the center of this field is a very special place,
a place where the God essence has gathered very densely.
This special place is a tall and magnificent tree.
Its stout trunk is filled with a pulsing vitality.
The sap flows up from the roots, through the trunk,
up through the limbs to the slender branches,
and outward to the twigs.
At the tips of the twigs are the buds,
and we are the buds.
The sap is the essence of God; pure love and life.
If the buds could look back from where they came
they would see they are all interconnected,
directly connected to God,
and that in each of them there is divinity.
God's purpose for the bud is to drink of this essence,
to open outward to the sun,
and to perform the dance of photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is creation, freedom of expression, loving and living.
When the bud does this it nourishes itself,
and invigorates the entire tree.
As your eyes drink in the beauty of the tree, the field, the sky,
you notice a subtle change.
A soft glow of golden light
radiates from within all that lies around you.
You see this because your spiritual eyes have opened,
and it is with spiritual eyes that this light is most visible.
Waves of rippling light, in all the colors of the rainbow,
and of rainbows you've never imagined,
wash down over your head, upon your shoulders and body,
filling you with the most delightful warmth you've ever felt,
the warmth of unconditional love,
because you…are in the presence of God.
Your soul is in rapture,…bliss.
And as you gaze out upon creation, you are filled with love.
You love the blue of the sky, the velvet green of the grass,
and the glorious beauty of the tree—
and now you see mankind through God's eyes.
Welcome home.
