“Good morning world, as I blend my A Daily Celebration journal reflection in with the adjoining scripture please read (Numbers 6:25) This is the guiding light and life changing verse that I have researched and picked to highlight my blog post today. Likewise, please enjoy my coordinating original Merry Mary blog thought that ties the scripture into my new A DAILY CELEBRATION book/journal quote which is as follows… (As you keep writing the story of your life, let’s talk about once upon a time. Likewise, as you keep filling in the dots and dashes on your tombstone line, let’s have a chat about Happily Ever After. So, realizing every day of your life that you are writing a story called Once Upon a time. Also knowing every night, as you are finishing your daily thoughts that you are trying to find your Happily Ever After. That means every single night when you close your eyes, and every following morning when you find your sight, you need to decide what kind of a life story you will be writing! So, as you keep filling in the dots, and in-between lines, will you be writing a happy story about your time! Or filling in the dashes of time will you be writing a story that will make you cry. Well knowing everything about being alive is all about Once Upon a time…. While filling in the dots and dashes in between the lines you need to make up your mind. Bottom line to find your Happily Ever After in life… as the past and present collide you must know how to be happy day and night. Next to make your future delightful and bright… you also need to know that Jesus Christ will make sure the life story you write…. will lead you to Paradise! That’s why, going to Paradise… will always be great HAPPILY EVER AFTER INSIGHT. Because on earth it does not matter what story you write. It only MATTERS THAT YOU WRITE YOUR PARADISE STORY RIGHT! So knowing that Satan will bring pain and devastation into your story line. Likewise knowing as the sad, bad, tragic times arrive that Satan will make you cry. Additionally, realizing as you fill in your dots and dashes while you walk on your tombstone line, that the in-between earthly story you write might not make you smile. You also knowing at the end by trusting Jesus to make things better….by surviving Satan’s pain and devastation there will be a Heavenly HAPPILY EVER AFTER. Likewise Knowing that Jesus will always pick up the pieces of your heart that Satan leaves behind. You know Jesus Christ will be there to bring his Guiding light and Peace back into your life. And as The Lord mercifully turns his face towards you, after Satan makes you cry… Jesus will give you many reasons to smile. That’s why, as you write your final story knowing that at the end there will always be a HAPPY ETERNAL BEGINNING! In Heaven’s graciousness, through Salvation, you will have all the peace you have been seeking. Yes, that will always be great to know, because as you keep writing your life story that means one day, or night Jesus Christ will take your soul to Paradise! Therefore, it’s also good to know…. that HEAVENLY HAPPILY EVER AFTER started with Once Upon a LIFE…. a long time ago! ) But wait what if you don’t know what I mean about finding Happily ever after…. So, following along with our happily ever after theme what do you think I mean when I say Once Upon A Time? And thinking about Time, likewise, writing about the seasons that keep flying by. That’s another interesting starting and stopping question of mine. So, staying with that TIME FLYING BY LINE. While being a Writer of children’s books. This ONCE UPON A TIMELINE of thought will always be on my mind. Because writing about HAPPILY EVER AFTER day and night, I think about, TIME, and ONCE UPON A TIME, ALL OF THE TIME! That’s why, as I am finishing up my 18th children’s book and 5th MOVIE that will be for sale very soon! Likewise, while I am trying to get your mind off the Virus, Fires, Violence, Hurricanes, Tornados, Short Supplies, High Prices, and all LIFE’S OTHER PAINS AND FRIGHTS too. For you to find the peace you need to find. Today I thought I would change things up a little bit in a fun CHILDLIKE way for me and you. That’s why, connecting my two worlds of thought together, while thinking about LIFE AS AN ADULT… joined in with our PAST TIME as a child! I thought I would write this blog post about…. ONCE UPON A TIME. And making that ONCE UPON A TIME, statement of mine. Knowing that we are all TRYING TO GET TO OUR HAPPILY EVER AFTER AS WE SURVIVE OUR ONCE UPON A TIMES! As you know, yesterday I was writing about the last beautiful sights and sounds of summertime’s happiness and laughter. So, realizing whether we are all still thinking about the DELIGHTFUL DIVINE LIFE SAVING sounds and beautiful sights of our sunrises that still make us SMILE…. Or whether we keep thinking back to the disappointments found in our past childhood sunsets that have left us CRYING…. to touch the Lord’s face as JESUS CHRIST brings Peace and graciousness into our nights and days. We all need to realize that everything in our life started out with…. A ONCE UPON A TIME……So realizing, everything in our LIFE is about ONCE UPON A TIME…With all of us searching for our HAPPILY EVER AFTER that needs to be found. In that EVER AFTER line, there will always be a BEGINNING AND AN END TO EVERYTHING ON OUR TOMBSTONE LINE. So realizing TIME WILL FLY BY. AND knowing that TIME WILL LEAVE YOU BEHIND. You likewise need to realize that the STORY OF YOUR LIFE will always be written IN BETWEEN THE LINES of ONCE UPON A TIME. That’s why, to WRITE THE STORY THAT WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY. Likewise, to find your HAPPILY EVER AFTER that information will always be good to know. Because LIFE WILL ALWAYS BE ABOUT THE TIME IN-BETWEEN THE LAST SHOW! So, knowing… RIGHT NOW THAT YOU ARE LIVING SOMEWHERE IN-BETWEEN THE LINES. To connect my thoughts about Earth and Heaven to ONCE UPON A TIME. Likewise to make sure that we will all be able to touch the Lord’s face as JESUS CHRIST brings Peace and graciousness into our days and nights as we all find our HAPPILY EVER AFTER IN PARADISE.
