Permission

Permission

We all need to cry. 
We need to be okay. 
We need to let go of things that hurt us. 
We need to be ready to accept good things. 
It is okay to be happy. 

He loves us. 
He gave his son for us. 
He wants our lives to be full…
and contented. 

We choose to beat ourselves up. 
Even after prayer, we rise and die. 
Why? 

Embrace life. 
Time is so short. 
Gather your pearls of bright color, 
string them together with joy, not tears. 

Suffering is the mirror of sadness.
Do not dwell on the reflection of the lost. 
You have been found. 
You will never be missing again. 
Dance, as if you just learned, 
but will never stop! 
Laugh until you cry, 
then sing.
