LETTER FROM HEAVEN < !signature-->To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say. But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness; Here is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you. It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on." God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight, God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years, because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry: it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain. I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned. If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er. I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before. There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; But together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too; That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you. If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain; Then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain." And now I am contented....that my life was worthwhile. Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile. God says: "So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low; Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go. When you're walking down the street with Me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind." "And when it's time for you to go....from that body to be free. Remember you're not going.....you're coming here to Me." *Author Unknown* **I did not write this, but recieved it through an email from my mother. My aunt passed away earlier this year, and I'd like to think that if she were to write a Letter From Heaven, it would sound like this. I just wanted to share it so that all of those who might have grieved or are still grieving over a lost loved one would maybe see that things aren't so bad, and that it's ok to grieve, but to know that we will all be reunited in the end (or, maybe even the beginning)** "It was my love that did us both to death.

This is beautiful. The thing that I wonder is why someone could write something so beautiful, but be unknown. Same with "Footprints In The Sand" the author is unknown, for what reason though? ~*Each day is a treasure box from God, just waiting to be opened*~ |

As though you could feel the weight of my heart right now. This letter was like my mum putting her arms around me and giving me a hug. I lost her 2 years ago now and have days where I wonder. Thank you for sharing it. Fee |
