Letter from Jayden

-

I received this letter from my oldest granddaughter over the weekend during a visit. She will be eight soon and of all gifts from grandchildren, those which are homemade in the heart are the most enduring. When I looked at the words, I could feel the tears starting which I quickly dispersed – a child tends to associate tears with pain rather than joy. The words are simple; the meaning came deep from within her.


She is not immune to death, having attended more funerals from various causes in her life than many children will while growing up. I do not feel as if the letter was written from a fear, but yet a beauty of a little girl wanting grandma to know how much she cared. I thought maybe in words she might understand a reply might be in order.



Dear Jayden,

Thank you for your wonderful letter you wrote to grandma. Though I cannot promise you I will live forever in your world, I will live forever in your heart, where all people do when they are no longer on Earth. When you smile and think about them, they have told your heart to smile and be happy!

You came from the special beginnings people travel to when they leave this world. In a never-ending story, we stay connected and I will know you as you have known me. I hope to see you grow and become a mommy yourself some day, giving all the love you have to others who have came from the place of special beginnings.

You are wonder and you are wise, your love and patience in the days of your life. You are organized to a tee, with perfection being key – you laugh and you speak with an enthusiasm beyond belief. You give this grandma a chance to cuddle in close and touch a beauty on earth, I am honored to know. Your hugs are like magic and they fill my heart, with a knowing my life has been perfect from the start.

I have a forever home Jayden, which spans the globe – a heart of a house where family can grow. On a cold winter night when you were born, your GG once again returned to the special home. First, to hug you and kiss you before this world could, you came with her eyes and a glow maybe we have only understood.

So Jayden do not worry, this grandma will never go – any further in your life than your heart allows to be so. My forever home is big and is small, full of love and trust I will catch you if you fall. From the place of special beginnings and back again someday, forever sealed in love in a home you will stay.

Grandma

Safety should be considered first when granting parole

-
Today the city of Kansas City, KS is mourning the loss of detective Brad Lancaster, Hearing a call for assistance he was one of the first on the scene regarding a possible car jacking and in responding was shot and killed by a man who had received early parole, serving less than a year of a sentence and released. To hear this made me sick inside, another criminal paroled only to commit murder shortly after wards. A friend of mine in 2004 was left butchered in her flower garden by a man who she had put in prison for domestic violence who had been paroled on good behavior and was seen as not being a threat to society. Both paroled by the State of Kansas early. If records were looked at, these are probably not isolated incidents. Robin left children and grandchildren in this world, Detective Lancaster left a family, and two small children as well. Anyone who has known somebody who has been murdered does not forget. If anything is to come of these tragedies I would hope and pray t

The Parable of the Fork - Author unknown

-
I first read this about 20 years ago in a email and it came back into my head today. Once read you will never totally forget as a parable is meant to be.   The Parable of the Fork There was a woman who had been diagnosed with a deadly illness and had been given 3 months to live. Her doctor told her to start making preparations to die so she contacted her pastor and had him come to her house to discuss certain aspects of her final wishes. She told him which songs she wanted sung at the service, what scriptures she would like read, and what she wanted to be wearing. The woman also told her pastor that she wanted to be buried with her favorite bible.  Everything was in order and the pastor was preparing to leave when the woman suddenly remembered something very important to her. There's one more thing. She said excitedly. What's that? came the pastor's reply. This is very important. The woman continued. I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand.

Spiritual Windows – My perception

-
Spiritual Windows – My perception   I have been writing for seven years on spirituality through my website http://www.myspiritualwindows.info and in blog form, without addressing my own interpretation of Spiritual Windows. Yet, I find more individuals then ever before searching for the answer to what a spiritual window might be. Within this article, for the first time publicly I will answer that question from my own interpretation I received many years ago. Mortality chooses to find acceptance with life/death and at times reincarnation for explanation in searching beyond the known to the unknown "How do you get there?" Our world is shifting in a thirst beyond not only the written but also the evidence of the unknown. Ms.Walters segment was somewhat limited to proving or disproving the major faiths of this world such as Christianity, Muslim, and Mormon and included a very small inclusion of Spirituality and Atheists. Interesting perspectives from all interviewed, yet leavin
