everything here far exceeds my expectations. Can you believe it? Angels dance in the clouds, twirling
around me. I am filled with unspeakable joy. Every tear has been wiped away from my eyes. There is no
more pain, no more suffering. Rejoice, all of you!
I am sorry that I didn’t get a chance to talk to you all before I departed. Don’t be sad. If I could talk to
you right now, I simply would tell you to fill your hearts with joy. Don’t focus on all the things of this
world or worry about trivial matters. It all vanishes. My time with you and the way you touched my life
is all that matters to me.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying to ignore your educations, careers or any other responsibilities
that you may have. Not at all. But my greatest hope is that you can place everything in the proper
perspective. Your time down there is short. It should be filled with great joy and happiness, while
spending much time with family and friends and, most importantly, communing with the Lord.
Anyways, I’ve got to go now. In parting, I want you to know this. One day we all will be caught up in the
clouds and meet the Lord in the air and so shall we forever be with the Lord in heaven! So, keep looking
up. Keep your eyes on the prize. We will meet again soon enough!
