“All Joys Lead to Him”
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.

I dreamed of Tom last night.
Tom has been dead over thirty years now.
Tom was my best friend for a very long time.
I think of Tom often
but never dreamed of him before.
We were in a sort of “holding place.”
Tom was happy to see me
but there was a certain sadness about him.
He missed his Daugther and his Son.
In the dream it seemed they too
had been death for quite a long time.
Tom went to a phone booth to call them.
The Living calling the Death.
I told Tom he needed to be in the place
where his children were.
One moment he was there with me.
The next moment Tom was gone.
I know Tom is happy again.
He is in heaven
with his children.
