"Grandma's body died..."

Something to consider when a loved one has passed…

When someone dies, maybe we should say "grandma's BODY died" and not just "grandma died" to instill the truth in kids (and us adults). WE LIVE ON!  We'll be together again someday, as promised.

Have you ever seen the movie Avatar? That’s how I view our bodies here on earth.  We’re in these bodies for only a short time.  We need to feed them, exercise them, and take good care of them so that we may learn, teach and do what we're supposed to do during the years we’re here upon Earth.  This also includes spreading love and light.  Let me clarify - spread God's Love & Light.     

I was talking with my kids last night about 'being kind to people' and mentioned  to them, "You know how people always say 'God is good, all the time!  All the time, God is good'?  Well, try to imagine Jesus walking around His house - slippers on, coffee in hand (bet it's some GOOD coffee too, uh?  LOL) - and saying, "Carolyn is good, all the time!  And all the time, Carolyn is good!   ;)   Strive for that."

Every day is a new beginning.  Learn from what you did yesterday and concentrate on today.  Concentrate on others and you will find happiness within yourself.

Let's be real - none of us are getting out of here (physically) alive.  However, our spirit will live on… and on… and on!

And that's very cool.
