The Windows of Gold
There is a legend that has often been told
Of the boy who searched for the Windows of Gold.
The beautiful windows he saw far away
When he looked in the valley at sunrise each day.
And he yearned to go down to the valley below
But he lived on a mountain that was covered with snow.
And he knew it wuld be a difficult trek,
But that was a journey he wanted to make.
-So he planned by day and he dreamed by night
Of how he could reach The Great Shining Light.
-And one golden morning when dawn broke through
And the valley sparkled with diamonds of dew.
He started to climb down the mountainside
-With the Windows of Gold as his Goal and his guide.
He traveled all day and, weary and worn,
With bleeding feet and clothes that were torn.
He entered the peaceful valley town
Just as the Golden Sun went down.
But he seemed to have lost his "Guidling Light"--
The windows were dark that had once been bright.
And hungry and tired and lonely and cold
He cried, "Won't You Show Me the Windows of Gold?".
And a kind hand touched him and said, "Behold!
High on the Mountain Are The Windows of Gold"
For the sun going down in a great golden ball
Had burnished the windows of his cabin so small.
And the Kingdom of God with its Great Shining Light,
Like the Golden Windows that shone so bright.
Is not far distant place, somewhere,
It's as close to you as a silent prayer...
And your search for God will end and begin
When you look for him and find him WITHIN.
HARD TIMES CAN HELP US
APPRECIATE LIFE EVEN MORE
Sometimes, we all have to feel alone and
frightened before we can appreciate the
life that surrounds us. Life changes as we
grow, and we must learn to accept
this. The more we learn, the more we
grow Hurting, being scared, feeling
alone, and crying are part of the learning
process; understanding our feelings
makes life challengening and rewarding.
Going through difficult times makes you
who you are.
You have taken one of the most significant
steps you will ever have to. Enter each new
day telling yourself that you deserve to
smile. Enter each new day believing that
you can make someone else smile inside,
because you are a beautiful person.
Your kind of beauty is inside you, and it
fills the world with your presence. People
can feel that, Be Happy, your whole life
is ahead of you. It is your life,
your chance to be who and what you
want to be.
