Just because it's there, DOESN'T make you believe !

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." - Eleanor Roosevelt

* "I BELIEVE IT" !! *

"Everything is possible for him who believes (MARK 9:23)."

"A friend of mine died today. IT had been some time since we talked and laughed over a hot fudge sundae or went shopping. I had not seen her for several days, and on that last occasion I had done all the talking. WHITNEY had been in a coma. BUT now she was gone - freed from her silent prison. I had honestly believed that she knew when I was there. I believed she was aware of things that were said and done. MOST of all, I guess, I believed that Whit was putting forth every effort she could.

NOW I am not sure. Had she really received the extensive brain damage they said she had? DID she just plain give up? But I want to believe that Jesus said, "LET'S go home. You've had enough." And I do believe it and believing it, I have peace.

*WHEN a dream dies or a relationship ends or a close friend passes on, we like to think there was a purpose. WE want to know all the reasons. We would like to have all our answers answered. SOMETIMES we strive and struggle and bend every effort. MAYBE we give up. MAYBE Jesus intervenes and says, "LET'S move on." I want to believe that God miraculously works in our lives. And I do believe it. And believing it, I am at peace." PAM BERTOLET
