Choose Well

July 2, 2006

Rational minds rule this rational world. They preach and teach and shout from the highest peaks. They explain why all is as we see it to be....

But the child of heaven speaks from the place that cannot be understood. Into the darkness, the light fills us all with new hope. He is returning to the place of desitiny.

There was a king in a distant land. This king had all the wealth he could ever want. All of his needs were filled by the treasures of his little piece of this world. His son would receive all that he owned. It was his fate. The king and father loved his princely son, wanted to give him all that the world offered. So, he sent him to summer with the teacher. When he returned, the son was not the same. The teacher had taught him the one most important lesson. That all is love; and we all are of that love....

The son had been forever changed. The son who would rule the kingdom desired only to serve. The servants' needs must of necessity be filled above his own. The kingdom's laws had no meaning and new meaning.

The world and it's power, it's rational thinking has great hold. The son who would be king was banished. His brother became the king.

The would be king, the child of light, traveled, walked, learned, served, and led a new kingdom. His children of light are among us today. We, each of us, are allowed the freedom to choose; shall we be rational and worldly? or shall we be loving light?

Choose well. It is the only life we get to live today. And today is the only day we can choose what we will be today.
