| "The Land of Forever and Ever" There is a place that one day I want to go and stay. I call it the "Land of Forever and Ever". It is a place that I have seen many times in my dreams at night while I slept. It is a place where I can have anything and everything I would ever want in my life. In this place, anything that I wished for would come true and then it would be in existence until the end of time. In this "land", I would wish for many great things large and small. I would wish for happiness, and I then would be happy forever and nothing would ever change my being happy, unless I so wished it away and I would never do that, because I would always want to be happy. I would wish for a physically healthy body, so I could do any and all things that I wanted to do. I would run, climb, walk, swim, jump, and fall and never get tired or get hurt from any of these actions. Having a healthy body, I also would never get sick with the flu, a cold, the mumps, the chicken pox, or even the measles. I would never have any kinds of diseases that would hurt my body such as Luekemia, Alzheimer's, or the deadly Cancers. I would wish for wealth untold, but it would mean nothing to me, as I would not need it because I would have all the things I would want without having to pay for it. I would have wealth beyond all measures, but then no reason to have it. I would have beauty all around me and in everything I could see. There would be flowers of all kinds, colors, and varieties. I would have birds of every color, type, and size there. There would be hills and mountains covered with beautiful green grass as far as the eye could see. Rivers, streams, and lakes of the coolest, clearest, and bluest waters a person would ever see. There would be long beautiful rainbows with every color imaginable. I would see beauty in everything that my eyes would behold. I would wish for music so beautiful, that I would listen and sing along all day and never tire of singing the songs. I would wish for the weather to be sunny days filled with a cool, slow breeze or even maybe a rainy day with the sweet smell of the ozone in the air and with lightning flashing in the background, lighting up a starry filled night sky. I would wish to see history. I would want to see the begining of time and each and every day as it unfolded, according to God's will. I would wish to see my ancestors and my parents, to see whom I was most like and to see what my life's history was before I was born. I would wish to see all of my friends and people that I loved around me there and then see all of them happy and enjoy being there. I would wish to see a love in my life like never before, a love that had no end. I would wish to see a love pouring out of my heart to everyone that I met and then see the love reciprocate back from them to me with as much intensity. I would wish to see the answers to the many mysteries of the world and know the answers to anything and everything that I would ever want to know about. In my "Land of Forever and Ever" I would wish for the best of everything I would ever want, never ending. I will go to my "Land of Forever and Ever" one day and all of these great things that I have mentioned, will be there waiting for me. For you see, my very special place has another name that everyone knows it by, and that name is Heaven! Yes, one day, we will all be enjoying all of these things and more in the "Land of Forever and Ever"! |

| Note: This story was written over several weeks of time. I was given the beginning and the end when I started to write it, but I had to wait to see what was given to be written in the middle. It is a simple sounding story, but it was hard for me to put these simple things down in writing. It was like a cloud covering some of the things and then it would clear to show me some of the things to write. I look back after writing it and think, why didn't I just write things that were what I would wish for? I couldn't, it was a gift to me! My mind was closed to me just putting these simple "wants" down! I hope it opens eyes and hearts and shows people what we have to look forward to one day, in the "Land of Forever and Ever"!
