In the dream
I felt I was truly loved.
I did not know who she was.
A nagging thought
said we had known each other
in another time and place.
She was young.
I was also a young man again.
She was beautiful.
She kept on kissing me.
They were deep kisses of passion.
I had not felt like that
in a long, long time.
It was a gift from my youth.
It was truly
a beautiful dream.

Among these is finding the greatest of joys of life.
When we look to others to bring us that joy
we will always find disappointment with our lives.
The light of true happiness is within our own selves.
It is shared and nurtured by only one Being
and that is our Lord and Savior.
Do not look to your fair weather friends
or those who claim to love you.
They will only bring you sadness and disappointment.
Perfection in Love and Friendship is only found in God.
Seek Him, Love Him, and Worship Him each day of your life.
In so doing will you finally find
the joys of eternity
that are just before you.

A great power exists with each of us.
It is the power to change our very DNA.
We can restamp our very mind
our hearts
our souls.
We no longer have to be our parents.
We can be something
new
different
and more wonderful.
Our creator gave us
a wonderful gift
in having free will
we now have the power of creation.
In awakening this morning
the question to ask yourself,
“Do you love yourself
as you are today?”
Make today
the day
you create the person
you want to be.

I now believe love in its real meaning will be with my Lord. I now understand that in spite of all its sham life teaches us that love indeed is a rare thing. It is a gift that is given to a few.
