The Golden Leaves of Images
Autumn is approaching and the morning dew is beautiful to see.
I have lost a loved one and haven't been myself lately.
I told my family we are all going on a hike!
I believe it would be good for us all to get some fresh air!
We loaded our lunch and drinks inside our
back packs and drove
to the nearest state park.
As we were all walking in the woods on a path
we noticed how quiet it was.
The trees began to blow, and the sky was darkening.
We thought we might be caught in a storm
but we keep going forward.
Up ahead in the distance we could see a
person sitting on a tree stump and he
was facing away from us.
It looked like a man with a
white cloak on.
Suddenly, the winds became stronger and
the leaves began to blow all around us.
We noticed the man sitting
on the tree stump was being caught
up in a swirl of leaves!
The man kept getting hit with blows
of dark leaves of mud!
We stopped in our tracks and
wondered why the leaves were
only hitting the poor man and
not us?
Suddenly, we were fascinated by
what we were witnessing.
As the dark leaves were hitting
the man we could see markings
on the clumps of mud that was
falling with the leaves.
We identified the markings as
evil words!
All of the words said horrific
and violent things on them!
The man underneath the whirl
of dark leaves and mud began to
weep!
We looked at each other and couldn't
believe what was happening.
I told my family to stay back and
I would try to help the poor man.
The leaves only became more violent
and I could hardly see the man
anymore.
Suddenly, the winds calmed down
and the trees became still.
I was afraid for the poor man
buried underneath all the debris and
I knew he would need some sort of help!
My family were all quiet and watched
me as I approached him.
Out of nowhere I could smell a
strong scent of roses!
I yelled out to my family,
"Does anyone smell roses?"
They each began nodding their
heads, "Yes!"
I looked around there were no
rose bushes anywhere!
As I got closer to the man
on the stump, I could see
some sort of light coming
from underneath him.
The light seemed to be
illuminating all around
the man.
I noticed the dark leaves
began falling off of the
poor man's cloak.
But I also noticed the mans
cloak remained pure and white!
It was as if no muddy leaves
had hit him at all!
I really wanted to take a
look at who this man was!
But to my surprise! I began
feeling golden leaves
falling all around me.
The leaves were gently landing
everywhere!
My family in the distance
yelled at me, " Dad look
at the leaves!"
On the golden leaves we
could see photos of
people!
we were all so taken by
what we were seeing!
One of my children yelled
out, "I see grandpa!"
And we all could see him.
who was my father,
in a beautiful photo!
He had
just passed away a few
years ago.
Suddenly, the man at the
tree stump stood up and
still facing away from us.
The ground underneath
him was still illuminating and
we noticed it was in a shape
of a large cross.
The cross was so bright and
beautiful!
I was happy the man was
going to be alright but
I asked myself,
"Who was this man?"
So many questions were
running through my mind.
The large golden leaves kept
falling around me, and my
family and I could still
smell the scented roses!
The man yelled out to
us, "Look and see!"
The golden leaves had more
photos on them of people!
We could see more of our loved
ones who have passed away!
The images were our relatives
of the elderly,
middle-aged and young!
We could see others who
we didn't know.
There were nurses, doctors,
caregivers, and first responders.
restaurant owners and servers, trash collectors,
factory workers, sales representatives,
artist, teachers, dentist,
dental workers, computer science
and computer workers, carpenters,
cleaners and so much more!
We noticed a special leaf remaining
still in mid-air.
as it was gently floating down
to the ground.
It was a young
soldier with his uniform on.
The photos were awesome and
gave us all peace +++
The man spoke again,
"These are people who
did my work and they
wore their crown."+++
The photos in the golden
leaves landed all around the
man in the white cloak. +++
We could see more images
on the leaves as they were
falling down from the sky!
They were of leaders,
teachers, office workers,
professors, lawyers,
psychiatrists, teens and
elementary students!
We could see people holding
babies in daycares and others
helping those with learning
disabilities and the
handicap. We could see
the lonely, broken, and
depressed. God's eyes
were upon them all +++
We could see on the
golden leaves; all kinds of
different families all over
the world!
The golden leaves kept
coming down ever so gently
at the feet of this man.
We could see priest, nuns,
deacons, preachers, and
rabbi's holding scripture!
We could see many
musicians with instruments
and songs!
Finally, I motioned my
family to come with me
to meet this mystery of
a man!
As my family and I began
to walk towards him; we could
hear music! It was music we had
never heard before. It was
angelic and heavenly!
There were five beautiful angels
kneeling
before this man with great honor.
The man turned around and faced
us with his arms extended towards
us.
He spoke and said, " Have no fear!"
We were all afraid to make a move
and one of the Angels came up to us
and placed its thumb gently on me and
made the sign of cross on my forehead.
I was in a state of Awe!
Tears began to flow from my face and
I knew this man was our Lord +++
The other four Angels went over to my wife
and our three children.
They gently placed the sign of cross
on each of their foreheads.
The music was captivating and
the Heavenly roses were unspeakable!
But this man who endured the violent
dark leaves of mud amazed me!
All the dirt and evil of mankind
was placed on him and he never
deserved any of it. He took
it all!
The illuminated Cross was so
vibrant and most powerful!
And there was nothing in this
world that could touch it!
Jesus spoke," I Am!"+++
All of His divinity was wrapped
around us! We could feel his
Heavenly touch circling all
around us
He looked at my family and
said, "I love You."+++
Jesus announced each of
our names and
tears were running down
all of our faces!
We bowed our heads
and fell to our knees of
holiness. +++
Jesus and his Angels
began to go back up into
heaven.
As they were going up
the music went with them
and all "The golden leaves
of images " went up as well.
We could see the golden
leaves of my father,
the soldier, the first
responders, and thousands
more!
We all stood up with great
amazement and slowly
walked
over to the tree stump.
We noticed the illuminated
cross disappeared and
everything around the
stump appeared to be
normal.
But we did notice
something carved in
the tree stump.
It was a cross and
it had a message written
inside it saying,
"I DID THIS FOR YOU."
Peace of God's Love was
given to us that morning
and Jesus reminded us
of how much he loves
each of us and He knows
our name +++
My family began leaving
the path with golden leaves
gently falling all
around us.
We all noticed
we could still smell
the beautiful scent of
roses as we walked
away!

Baptism
Matthew Ch. 3 Verse 16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went
up out of the water . At that moment heaven was opened, and he
saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove alighting on him.
Matthew Ch. 28 Verses 19-20 Therefore go and make disciples
of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit , and teaching them to obey
everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with
you always, to the very end of the age.
Luke Ch. 3 Verses 21-22 When all the people were being
baptized , Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying,\
heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit descended on him
in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven ;
"You are my Son, whom I love, with you I am well
pleased."
Ephesians Ch. 4 Verses 4-6 There is one body and one
Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you
were called, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one
God and Father of all, who is over all and through
all and in all.
Acts Ch. 2 Verse 38-41 Peter replied, "Repent and be
baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ
for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive
the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and
your children and for all who are far off-- for all whom
the Lord our God will call." With many other words
he warned them, and he pleaded with them, "Save
yourselves from this corrupt generation." Those
who accepted his message were baptized , and about
three thousand were added to their number that day.
Romans Ch. 6 Verses 1-18 What shall we say, then?
Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase ?
By on means ! We are those who have died to sin,
how can we live in it any longer ? Or don't you know
that all of us , who were baptized into Christ were
baptized into his death ? We were therefore buried
with him through baptism into death in order that,
just as Christ was raised from the dead through
the glory of the Father, we too may live a new
life . For if we have been united with him in
a death like his, we will certainly also be united
with him in a resurrection like his. for we know
that our old self was crucified with him so that
the body ruled by sin might be done away with,
that we should no longer be slaves to sin-- because
anyone who has died has been set free from sin.
Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we
will also live with him. For we know that since
Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again;
death no longer has mastery over him. The \
death he died , he died to sin once for all; but
the life he lives, he lives to God . in the same
way. count yourselves dead to sin but alive to
to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not
let sin reign in your mortal body so that
you obey it's evil desires. Do not offer any
part of yourself to sin as an instrument of
wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to
God as those who have been brought from
death to life; and offer every part of yourself
to him as an instrument of righteousness.
For sin shall no longer be your master,
because we are not under the law , but
under grace. What then ? Shall we sin
because we are not under the law but under
grace ? By no means !
V-17 But thanks be to God that, though
you use to be slaves to sin, you have come
to obey from your heart the pattern of
teaching that has now claimed your
allegiance. You have been set free from
sin and have become slaves to righteousness.
_______________________________________
Dear Ones, if you wish to be baptized in
the Christian Faith seek out a church near
by where you live. Make a phone call to a
church office and they will direct your way.
Speak to a Priest or Minister after service
and they will be happy to guide
you and your needs.
note: Families can be baptized together as well +++
May Our Lord Keep Blessing You in all he has to
offer through His Church+++
______________________________________
What is Baptism of desire ? Those who desire
baptism, but are not baptized with water through
the Christian Sacrament because of death,
nevertheless receive the fruits of Baptism at
the moment of death.
What is Baptism of Blood ? As the name implies
is the act of being baptized with blood, and was used
specially with reference to soldiers who fought on
the battlefield. Martyrdom is also identified as
"baptism by blood" enabling the salvation of
martyrs who had not been baptized by water.
