RE: The Dream

Dear Dan
I am a friend of John's. He has often shown me messages and unusual
snippets that you have sent over the email so I feel I know you just a
little.

Some of the things and expressions I have found both very philosophical and
profound. Yesterday John gave me a copy of 'The Dream'. You said 'This
really made me stop and think!' It has actually made me cry, particularly
the sentence 'However, I died on the cross so that this person might have
enternal life and he has accepted me as his Saviour, so he is mine'. And
also 'In this world of terrible hurt, pain etc.'

I am asking John for another copy for my daughter, Lee, in acknowledgment
of Jesus' promise to us all.

I am a member of Shadwell Mother's Union and am given the rewarding task
each month of saying the prayers with which we open our meeting. I do them
on John's computer which I appreciate and it is a good help. In this
regard, have I your permission to use the marvellous prayer included at the
end of 'The Dream' (Prayer 9.27.99) and do you know from where it
originated?

I keep close by me snippets of profound statements which say such a lot
about life. Have you heard the following? -

1. Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow - it only robs today of his
strength.
2. If you only walk on sunny days you will never reach your destination.
3. Do not be afraid of tomorrow, God is already there.
and
4. May you always have:-
Enough happiness to keep you sweet
Enough trials to keep you strong
Enough sorrow to keep you human
Enough failure to make you humble
Enough friends to give you comfort
Enough faith to give you courage
Enough wealth to meet your needs
and enough determination to make each day a good day.


Well Dan, I'll close. Power to the elbows of all 'Fairfaxes' in their
quest for information etc.
Regards, Avrila
