HAPPY BIRTHDAY/ANNIVERSARY, MOM!
4/12/2021
Hello, Everybody!
Just to take a moment to wish my Mom a Happy 113th Birthday,
though Clara has been gone since 2004. She may be gone from here on Earth,
but still present somewhere in God's Great Universe.
That I Believe! So, it is good to remember that she was here -
even as she is "there" wherever that is now.
Is it Heaven? Absolutely! But then I Believe she was in Heaven
when she lived here on Earth too. I Believe everywhere is Heaven
simply because Heaven is only being in the Presence of God -
and since God is everywhere, presto, everywhere is Heaven.
How about that? Wouldn't it be nice if all believed that and
treated our places on Earth like they are places in Heaven?
Like Nancy says, Wow! What a wonderful world we would be living in
since everyone would be treating everyone else like they are angels -
since supposedly, only "angels" live in Heaven.
Yup! That sure would be nice! Wouldn't it?
It just so happens to be Mom and Dad's wedding anniversary today too.
Mom and Dad married on Mom's 20th birthday in 1928.
Dad left us for "another Heaven" in July of 1966.
Maybe Dad & Mom are together in a same Heaven now -
and maybe they are separate in different Heavens now -
but wherever they are, I Believe, they are together in that
wherever they are - alone or together - they are in Heaven.
Let me leave you with a song I wrote a few years back that I called
CLARA'S HILL - such as it is. I need to keep in mind that
"Clara's hill" is just as much in our backyard or frontyard or anyyard
or place in this grand universe. It is even where you are -
according to my song in Mom's name.
Enjoy it as you wish - and can. OK?
Thanks!
Be in touch as you wish!
Gently,
Francis William Bessler and
supportive wife, Nancy Shaw

P.S. Let me remind you that my DVD albums that I just finished making available
via Media On Demand are going out of order by June 4th simply because
Media On Demand is going out of business producing DVDs because
of no market demand for them anymore. Too bad, but that is the way it is.
Life goes on as some of what is in life becomes obsolete.
Order before June 4th or you will not be able to order again.
That even goes for me. Oops! If interested, simply put my name,
Francis Bessler, in an Amazon search bar and scan until you find
something of interest. OK? Goodbye Again!
See you on "Clara's Hill"!
CLARA’S HILL

Dedicated to the memory of my Mom,
whose name was Clara (born: 4/12/1908; died: 5/16/2004) .
REFRAIN:
Be careful where you step,
but step where you will;
and you will find yourself
upon Clara’s Hill.
Be careful not to stumble,
but when you do,
get right back up
and know it all belongs to you.
Hey, My Friend, life is out there,
but it’s not a distant thing.
No matter where you are,
it should make you want to sing.
Just take time to look at it
and be amazed how it grows.
Then lose your self in all of it
and what you see you will know.
Refrain.
The wonder of life as I see it
is that it is filled with mystery.
There is no way I can see sin
because all I see is Divinity.
If all you see is full of God
there is no way to be sad.
Put your hands together and applaud
and let your heart be glad.
Refrain.
Stand upon a hill and loudly shout,
Hey, God, I’m your little kid.
I’m so glad to be about
being happy without sin.
I think it’s such a waste of time
to shudder and fail to embrace.
It’s so much better to see life as fine
and love it without shame.
Refrain.
So, God, I accept your gift to me
of the life that’s standing here.
I pledge, my God, to believe
that what I am should be dear.
I am as worthy as a flower
that grows so brightly on a hill
to receive whatever shower
of blessings you choose to instill.
Refrain (several times).
