Heavenletters

Each moment this REMINDER to: "Remember Who YOU are!" should echo in our hearts. it does in mine. Of course mine is very old and has seen lots of things which are both ugly and beautiful.

I remember in the Great Depression when the factory where my father was a tool and die maker closed it's doors. He, like all our neighbors were out of work, sort of like today.

What did he do? He worked in the yard, or in the garden, or in the basement making things. All the while he was working he was singing or humming a song. The same song he sang when he had his first heart attack and his company had to lay him off because the insurance carrier refused his coverage.

The song he loved to sing to all of us went something like this: "My FATHER is rich in houses and lands, HE holds the wealth of the world in HIS hands; rubies and diamonds and riches untold..." and on and on. One day he noticed the big beautiful circular stained glass window of the very old church down by Lake Michigan moved back and forth with the fierce winds off the Lake. He told the priest of the obvious danger and was told that they knew of the problem but had no money in the budget of the now smallish church. My dad said "Oh, let me fix it." He was hired by the church as a maintenance man, build a scaffold, read up on stained glass repairs and rebuild the window which to this day stands strong.

My dad KNEW who he was, now and always. He sort of taught me that singing in the rain is always a good way to remember who you really are.
We all need to read this Heaven letter real often, especially when sickness, or financial problems or the death of a darling occurs. It reminds us to look up and know where we are and who we are. To think that this Letter is going out to all the world is such a joy!
