HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
2/14/2020
HELLO, EVERYONE!
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
Just a bit of an intended Note of Happiness from Nancy & Will, alias Frank!
Hope you are having a fine Valentine's Day! Nancy and I will be celebrating it by attending a fund raiser dinner at a local Methodist Church here in Laramie. After the dinner, we will be joining our Melodees seniors choral group and singing for those who dine. Now, is that a way to celebrate Valentine's Day or not? We think it is.
I don't know about you, but when I think of Valentine's Day, I think of two or more trying to find Heaven in their lives. I do believe that is what Life, in general, should be about - finding Heaven now. I think if we saw life that way -finding Heaven On Earth, so to speak, we Earthlings would have found Heaven long time ago. The problem is that we have thought of Heaven as being for the future - and that is why we have not found Heaven in the present. It is as simple as that. Well, that's what I think. How about you?
Six years ago, in this very month, I wrote about Heaven in a song.
Let me leave you with that song below. OK?
Thanks!
Have a Good One - not only on this Valentine's Day, but every day of the year. If we do that, when we die, we will have mastered it all - and simply continue Heaven wherever we might go. Suppose?
Be in touch!
Bye for Now!
Gently,
Nancy & Will (Frank, Francis)

REFRAIN:
Let me tell you about a place called Heaven,
a place called Heaven, a place called Heaven
where you can reside.
All you have to do to live in Heaven,
to live in Heaven, to live in Heaven,
is to know that - you are God's child. Where is Heaven, my friend?
It's where you are.
Look up in the sky
and find a star.
Imagine you're there
and you can know
there's no more God there
than on the Earth below.Refrain. What is Heaven, my friend?
It's knowing you belong.
Be proud of what you are
and sing your song.
There is no room in Heaven
for a thing called shame.
If you're ashamed of yourself,
you've got yourself to blame.
Refrain. Where is Heaven, my friend?
It's in your dreams.
It's up in the mountains
and down in the streams.
It's in the fish that swim
and in the squirrels that lurch;
and, yes, it's even in all
who praise in a church.
Refrain.
What is Heaven, my friend?
It's having an open mind.
It's knowing all are worthy
and it's being kind.
It's believing Life is a miracle
that's full of majesty.
Each is part of that miracle
and is a king or a queen.
Refrain. Where is Heaven, my friend?
It's in yourself.
It's in all that you see,
all that you feel and smell.
It's in all the sounds you hear,
all that you love to taste.
It's knowing that all of this
is what makes Life great.
Refrain (2). Ending:
All you have to do to live in Heaven,
to live in Heaven, to live in Heaven,
is to know that - you are God's child -
is to know that - you are God's child -
to know that - you are God's child.
