"OPEN YOUR HEART"

“Charles”, ninety-six years old, has been married to his wife “Amanda” for seventy-five years. Their daughter, “Ruth” lives with them to care for their needs. Charles was referred to hospice due to heart disease. Amanda, ninety-three, is still very independent with her needs. Both Charles and Amanda look and act so much younger than their years.

Toward the end of our visit, Ruth started to talk about her drug and alcohol history. Her health has been deeply affected due to those choices. Ruth became sober and began to counsel other drug addicts and alcoholics. In addition, she was on a waiting list for a liver transplant.

Ruth told us all about her out-of-body experience and how it has totally changed her life. She has no fears about dying as she knows heaven is such a beautiful place. I, too, had an out-of-body experience three years ago. I shared my experience with Ruth. It was then we started to process what it was all about.

It was such a profound and amazing experience, it still humbles me. It has also changed my life. I am still astounded that it happened. At first, I felt that I needed to do something great with it, but now have come to just share my story one on one when my spirit guides me. Ruth and I both have come to the conclusion that life is really not all that complex. It is about helping our fellow man while following our own hearts.

I truly believe that death is just a new beginning. I believe that we will be perfectly fine and will all be together once again.


"OPEN YOUR HEART"

She spoke about her out-of-body experience.
How Jesus was sitting on her bed.
He looked at her with loving eyes and said,
             "Open your heart."

She has had a rough life.
Drugs and alcohol took a strong hold.
It impacted her health greatly,
while opening her eyes to make better choices.

She counseled others on drug and alcohol
while on a waiting list for a liver transplant.
Two years ago, the hospital called.
It was then when she saw Jesus.

Previously, her life had been so complicated.
She traveled on way too many rough roads.
Her life experiences have made her compassionate;
teaching and helping others while sober.

Quite often, it is so easy to make life complex;
but maybe it isn’t that difficult after all.
Flow where your heart leads you
while helping your fellow man along the way.

It really is quite effortless
from someone all powerful and strong.
All you need to do is
             “Open your heart.”
