A CHILD OF GRACE
Stephen, my son, some may look upon you
as different and not like the other kids.
Oh, my little one, it was I, who made you special,
a special little boy with a heart of grace.
When you come to see me and kiss my picture,
my arms wrap around you with a hug,
and a very special love and tenderness,
only you alone know.
You visit my little house and knock on my door.
I come out to play, and we are so happy together.
You laugh. I laugh.
You will always be my friend.
I have given you tiny special words,
to tell me your stories.
I have put my smile onto your heart --
so I can be with you always. We are pals.
And, when I am busy helping others like you,
I have a special friend -- an angel -- watching over you and sprinkling you with angel dust.
I love you, Stephen.
Come visit me again, so we can hug, play and laugh.
Your friend, Jesus

About the Author
Inspirational writings. Open your eyes and see things. Open your heart and feel things. Answering the call.
The Lord calls and waits for the inner-spirit of oneself to respond. It is I, who heard this call through a near-death experience. A journey which has taken me to the light, the way, and the truth—a journey of faith, of the Cross. With the guidance from my spiritual director, and also a small wooden cross I had in my pocket I gave to another person as a compassionate gesture in petition, opens the door to spiritual gifts, and spiritual writing—encounters of spiritual inspirations, reflections and experiences that touch the heart and soul. I have recorded and documented the on-going events in my life as they happened. I have put forth my complete trust in the Lord, and have written the words that come into my heart and soul. These thoughts and actions are not of myself, but inspirations of the Holy Spirit. I have shared my writings with others across the world touching hearts and souls in response to my calling, to glorify the work of the Lord.
My wife and I reside in Connecticut and have a son and daughter and two grandchildren.

ISAIAH 6:8
Then I heard the voice of the Lord
saying:
“Whom shall I send? Who will be my
messenger?”
I answered, “Here I am, send me.”
