Chapter ! The Letter


When Nasons grandmother died from Leukiema he was very sad that a purpose like his grandmother had to

die.His relatives had come to see what they could do to help and to say there good byes to her. Nason remembers going

into her bedroom and seeing her just laying there with her eyes closed. He felt his heart sink to her loss as he thought

about what heaven might be like. He felt so helpless and remembered when his youngest daughter had died from a

seizure. He just sat there just looking at her thinking it is so surreal life and death as he thought what has he done with his

life. He certainly didn't want to waste a single day of his life worrying about the future and that God is real. He thought that

when God wants you he wants you Nason wanted to rejoice in his name, and not take anything for granted because you

never now what will happen. He needed to get some air so when his Aunt and Uncle came into the room he took his

chance and went outside. He headed toward the barn where his grandfather spent most of his time fixing trucks and

tractors, and going out into the field to plow hay or just to drive around looking at the land. He remembered the dog that

his grandfather used to have, and the day that it left when his grandfather died. Yes sir he had lots of memories on the

farm, but what do you do with memories when they are just memories. He thought there has to be more in life and purpose

in his life. Just then as he was walking he came across an old rusty can that he had never seen before until that day. It

was like he was meant to see, and place just for him he was very curious as he looked around to see if anybody was

looking for him. The can had a twist lid so he twisted it off and opened to see that it was a note of some kind in it. He took

it out of the can blew off the dust, and saw that it was addressed to him it was a letter from his grandmother. It had a story

that read:
Hello Nason: This is your grandmother if you are reading this I am gone home. I wanted to share a story

that will change your life. When I was 23 my parents owned a cafe that I had worked at since I was a little girl.

Over that period of time lots of people would enter into the cafe, but there was this one person that had caught

my eye. One afternoon he had come in I can never forget his beard that was neatly combed, and his clothes

were neatly pressed. He looked so neat with no wrinkles and it seemed like he was just so perfect. I went over

to see if he needed anything to eat or drink. As I went over he had taken off his two scarfs. One was really neat

and the other was really old. He looked at me and asked me if I had time to show me something really important.

I nodded and he had begun to show me what the scarfs had represented to him. He stated that the old scarf as

he put it on the table. Represents the darkness in our lives that has happen before God had sent a savor to save

us from the world when it was evil. He stopped and stated to me do you understand what I am trying to say he

would reply over, and over again to make sure that I understood exactly what he was trying to say to me. He

began again and told her about the new scarf. That was nice looking and it shined as he held it up so I could see

it. Now look at the scarf it represents how a new life can be if you choose to believe in a higher power as your

personal savor. He said it again do you understand what I am trying to tell you. I nodded again but this time

he stood up and said that he needed to get going. I told him that I understood but before he left I wanted my

parents to meet you. He said alright so I went back to the kitchen to where they were and came out with them.

But he had already gone but a note was left to say thanks for the food and drink when I was hungry and thirsty.

Keep showing kindness to the world toward people like me and this shall benefit you some day.


Nason finished reading the letter he felt like the letter was trying to tell him something. That he needed to give the

letter to the world, and that his grandmother would have wanted him to give it to someone to share to the world, but who

could he give it to. Just then he heard a knock at the barn door he didn't know who it was. He thought it was his relatives

seeing what he was doing in the barn. But as he opened the door he saw a man standing there as he looked up to see his

face. The gentleman said with a smile." Hello Nason I am Mark I was sent down to help you get your letter out to the

people so they could see it.
























































Chapter 2


In a near by coffee shop two men talk about the accident that had lead his daughter to heaven. Nason asked

how she was and was she happy. Mark said that she was in really good hands and that she was so happy that she didn't

even know she was in heaven. Then out of the blue he understood what he needed to do. Feeling confident and reassured

that answers don't come from your own understanding. They came from your creator who created you, and you loves you

unconditionally just like the letter had said. Mark just look at him and smiled as he said, " Then this is the perfect place to get

started." Mark mentioned that he was an Angel too like his daughter was." Nason was very puzzled once again because he

didn't get how he can see Mark. but not his one daughter. Mark said that Angels can be in many different forms to blend in so

it is a mystery to people, and not so obvious to mankind." If it were easy then many people would not seek there own souls

and not believe in faith, love or even hope." So that is what the letter is trying to say about the scarfs.

Mark got up from the table paid the check and went home. That afternoon his wife was in the other room watching T.V as he came in.

" How did the job searching go any leads. " A few." as he spoke his voice had such a joyful like he won the lottery." You seem in good spirits

today you must of found a lot of jobs today." No, I am just in a really good mood!" as his laughter filled his voice.' Well, care to share." she said

with a curious tone," It's just this letter I found in the e news on yahoo,you need to read it, to see what you think of it." "Alright, I'll read it, when

we go to bed, I am right in the middle of watching this really great movie," he joined he on the couch, with his arm around her, holding her near

and thinking how lucky he was, the next morning he awoke with his wife hugging him, as she gave him a big kiss, " What has gotten into you."

not that he minded a little affection from his wife} "It's that letter that he gave me to read, I read it last night, because I couldn't fall asleep, it was

so inspiring to me, how hopeful hat Jae character was, and telling that little girl what the scarfs meant.I it opened my eyes of how we are

supposed to view the world, I wonder if they ever found him?" I don't know."How about some breakfast?" Sure," as she made some coffee for

both of them, " Coming right up." as she touched his shoulder. " Are you going to do more applications today? Yes, I might see what is out there,

I think I will give it a shot, " he took his computer, to the same coffee shop, he went to all the time that had amazing view of the city, and that

had played the same jazz dvd since he had been there, he took out his laptop, and plugged it into one of the outlets that he was siting next to, he

proceeded to Google search once again, for the one dream job that he always wanted.

to satisfy us, and they know that saying if momma happy aint nobody happy", as they chanted " Aint nobody happy" laughed as her

friend looked into Marcies eyes, " Its gong to be fine don't worry so much Nason is a good man." I know he will be a good provider, I know he

will be," with a reassurance on her voice, you will have a happy life, I can feel it filled with many happy moments take it from me i know." Marcy

smiled as she felt a tease of the words she was saying." Well then its getting late, I have to prepare something for dinner, you know my husband

have to get dinner right at six, or the whole world blows up." Alright Marcy" she stood up and walked toward her car, she got into the car, and

stated " Marcy I want to tell you something," with a serious look on her face," I just want you to know before you marry Nason, I am sure hes a

fine person, i just want to ask you to seek in you heart , what you want , and what he wants, you understand what I am trying to say" Yes," as

Marcy smile I want you to really think an if you have anything that you want to talk about you let me know, I am your mother after all, I know, I

he had a break between the day, he answered " Hello Hi honey" Oh hi dear its good to hear your voice, is everything okay" Yes, everything is

fine." How are the wedding plans coming along." Good that's what I want to talk to you about." Okay" I was wondering if we could talk tonight

when you get off from work." Sure anything wrong." at that moment she was glad he was willing to sit and talk about what she had been

dreading to talk about. " I get off at 6 maybe we can go out." he suggested, " No, I need to be in a quiet place, just you and me no one else."

Alright are you sure there is nothing else wrong." Yes, I am sure, I just needed to talk about some concerns I have about you, and i and about

the wedding." No problem, listen dear my break is over and I need to get back to work." Ill see you tonight." Okay I love you." I love you too," he

hung up the satisfied at the conversation, Marcy felt so happy that tonight will be a good evening, to just get everything out in the open, She

went on with her day getting back on the wedding plans that were put on hold, because of her lack of concentration, but now she was ready to

go she had many calls to make. to the church, the flower shop , and get all the prices together to talk to nasom, about to include

him and to ask for his opinion on things she decided to put in the wedding, when she got home for the day, she felt so overwhelmed, she

decided to ask God for strength, and the words to say to Nason to make him understand what she was feeling she started, " Dear God"













Chapter 4





Marcy got home later that day, she had been to the store to prepare for to nights dinner, she got the finest wine, which she

was told to get, she made the typical salad, a lovely fillet fish with steamed rice,she put out the table cloth, and got ready for the night. Nason

arrived at about 6, she was on the sofa sipping some wine, she offered him a glass, "Thanks hon," as he gave her a g;ass he sat down on the

sofa, " Dinner smells good I am starved." It'll be done in a minute." What did you want to talk to me about," he responded wit a various tone in

his voice, she collected her thoughts, " You know how important the wedding is to me." Yes, I do" I know you are trying the best you can to be

involved in the wedding." she finished with her last statement he felt the room spinning as she said,"I just need for you to be more involved, while

she was talking he couldn't help thinking about a couple of verses in the bible, starting with Gensis, which stated, in Gods own image God made

that man, and the woman , God mad woman so man would not be alone, he thanked go for Marcy, but he though in these situations, she could

be a little bit controlling, at time,but he chose not to express his thoughts, that way when she finished saying her two cents, about the wedding,

he responded back," How can I be more of an encouragement, and help you out, so you don't feel overwhelmed." She enjoyed hearing what he

had to say, and replied to her. " I have a few items that we need to discuss, which to him meant, I have a few things that I decided , I just need

you to go along with them."
