The letter
She jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out

> of the operating room. She said: 'How is my little boy? Is he going to
> > > be all right? When can I see him?
>
> > > The surgeon said, 'I'm sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn't
> > > make it.'
>
> Sally said, 'Why do little children get cancer? Doesn't God care any
> > > more? Where were you, God, when my son needed you?'
>
> > > The surgeon asked, 'Would you like some time alone with your son? One
> > > of the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he's transported to
> > > the university.'
>
> Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good bye to her
> > > son. She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair.
> > > 'Would you like a lock of his hair?' the nurse asked. Sally nodded yes.
> > > The nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair, put it in a plastic bag and
> > > handed it to Sally.
>
> The mother said, 'It was Jimmy's idea to donate his body to the
> > > University for study. He said it might help somebody else. I said no at

>
> Sally walked out of Children's Mercy Hospital for the last time, after
> > > spending most of the last six months there.. She put the bag with

>
> > > The drive home was difficult. It was even harder to enter the empty

> > > lock of his hair to her son's room.
>
> > > She started placing the model cars and other personal things back in
> > > his room exactly where he had always kept them. She lay down across his
> > > bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep.
>
> > > It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Laying beside her on the bed
> > > was a folded letter. The letter said:
> > >
> > > 'Dear Mom,
> > > I know you're going to miss me; but don't think that I will ever forget

> > > she probably wouldn't like the same things us boys do. You'll have to
> > > buy her dolls and stuff girls like, you know.
> > >
> > > Don't be sad thinking about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma
> > > and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but
> > > it will take a long time to see everything. The angels are so cool. I
> > > love to watch them fly. And, you know what? Jesus doesn't look like any
> > > of his pictures. Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself
> > > took me to see GOD! And guess what, Mom? I got to sit on God's knee and
> > > talk to Him, like I was somebody important. That's when I told Him that
> > > I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you good bye and everything.
> > > But I already knew that wasn't allowed. Well, you know what Mom? God
> > > handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter
> > > I think Gabriel is the name of the angel who is going to drop this
> > > letter off to you. God said for me to give you the answer to one of the
> > > questions you asked Him, 'where was He when I needed him?' God said He
> > > was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross.
> > > He was right there, as He always is with all His children.
> > >
> > > Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see what I've written except you.
> > > To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool?
> > > I have to give God His pen back now. He needs it to write some more
> > > names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus
> > > for supper. I'm sure the food will be great.
> > >
> > > Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don't hurt anymore & the cancer is
> > > all gone. I'm glad because I couldn't stand that pain anymore and God
> > > couldn't stand to see me hurt so much, either. That's when He sent The
> > > Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery!
> > > How about that?
> > >
> > > Signed with Love from God, Jesus & Me.

Nature boy

Could the lyrics be describing the boy Jesus in this song? Golden Rule maybe?

True Beauty
In Sunday bible study we have been discussing how pretty some outfits make us feel. As I reflected on this and what is beauty... I internalized it to the beauty I feel, hear and see when I sing/listen to a lovely song. True artistic beauty that transends time and place. Take a listen and close your eyes. To many Roberta Flack would not fit today's description of super model beauty... I think she is perhaps the most beautiful lady I have ever experienced as I can feel the beauty of her heart and soul poured into this song.... enjoy... Sheila
