My Life Has Just Begun

                                                                  ¥

Everything I wished I hadn't said and everything I wished I hadn't done, is undone.

Every tear I shed will be unshed. Every hurt I inflicted, and every hurt I endured will be as if it had not been.

Every time I swore an enemy -- each time will be dissolved. Every ill deed and every horrid thought, every malicious intent will be invisible.

Every curse word I ever spoke will be as unspoken.

Every regret will be gone. Every person I loved and lost will be back in my life. Every person I had die in my life, will be alive and with me. Every contemptuous thing that came out of me will be undone.

I will have happiness beyond your or my imagination in my life. I will render to each enemy something good, I will forgive and I will be free of the burden of unforgiveness. I will reach every star I aim to reach, I will realize every dream I dare to dream. I will have smiles, laughter, giggles and my dearest and closest friends all around me.

I will have loved and taught my children well and they will have success and happiness in their lives. My best friend will be tired no more, she will have security, abundance, peace and have the joy of knowing her child is not conquered, but is, instead -- a conquerer.

My mother, my father, my grandmother, my grandfather, my sister, my brother, or my child -- If they had left me in my life -- will be returned to my life and returned to my soul. I will see them, each one and I will have the opportunity to hug and kiss them, and to say "I'm sorry", if I didn't get the chance to or if I was too immature and unseeing to do so when I had the chance.

Every time I didn't have courage in my life, the courage will be summoned. Every time I cowered, I will have strength now.

Every "I love you" I never knew or maybe just never said, will be said profusely.

All the pain and every time I "missed the mark", or hated myself, or someone else, will be returned to me that I might make right.

Every thing or person that I missed and needed will no longer be missed, and will no longer be a void in my life.

Every time I was ugly, I will be beautiful. Every illness I had will not have even existed. Every time I wished I had said or done something nice, instead of something atrocious, will be remedied.

I have gone and am now with God.  These words you see and have just read are his promise...this promise are his words.

So if you're there, looking at my tombstone, standing at the foot of my grave, don't don't don't grieve for me, for...my life, has JUST  begun.
