Not Gone Forever

NOT GONE FOREVER he’s gone forever what a strange word forever he’s gone from this world forever? Nobody knows reincarnation? Same thing yet look at nature’s hidden power of rebirth all the great great trees standing tall for centuries proclaiming our God on Earth

We sometimes forget to look beyond the "now" This is such a briliant piece Daver, love that "hidden power" line ;) love Wilma

Eternal is hard to understand, like infinity. But I just except the salvation and don't really question it. Albert Einstein said he wanted to understand God's mind or maybe knowledge. Thanks for your comments.

You know I do believe in reincarnation, Daver. I think our souls are sent back again and again until we reach the point where we've learned every lesson God intended. I like the analogy to the trees. In the Redwood Forest a guide said some of the trees were alive before the time of Christ. "Gone forever" is not how some of us think. You made your point so eloquently, my friend. Much love, Carolyn

Sometimes, I catch myself, just pondering on that word, "forever" and I just can't fathom it--but this write of yours somehow helps me put things in perspective, thank you for this! Very inspiring, Dave.... and I am so humbled with your comment, my heartfelt Thank You-- love back to you :)
