Today is Friday, July 30, 2010. On this day we remember Mary, Martha, and Lazarus of Bethany.
On this day in 1975 teamster Jimmy Hoffa goes missing and is never seen again.
“Living a life of pious misery in the hope of going to heaven when it’s over is a lot like keeping your eyes shut through a movie in the hope of getting your money back at the end.” [A. Whitney Brown]
Sometimes I think that if each of us knew what our lives were going to hold before we came into this world, some of us would choose not to come and miss the countless moments of joy and love we have each experienced. On the other hand, I think that if we really knew what is in store for us beyond this life, none of us would want to stay. While we are still here, however, the best way for us to get a glimpse of what heaven may be like is to understand and nurture our connection to our Eternal Source, the beginning from which we came and the end to which we go.
Today, I recognize that I am eternal and because of this can live my life to the fullest trusting my future to the loving care of my Eternal Source.
