The quest of the golden ticket

     Life can be a struggle. But with the mindset of achieving our "golden ticket", it can ease the burden of being lost on the path to Heaven. Asking intercession of the Saints and our Lady can help us keep on track and make "the golden ticket" visible to our eyes. We can get lost in this jungle of temptations very easily if we do not keep our eyes peeled to the good we are to accomplish. To step over or crush the hurdles that arise when seeking His Will in all things. We grow tired by the daily grind and that gives the evil one a chance to weaken us even more. Stay strong. Stay awake. God is by our side always, holding "the golden ticket". It shines with a brightness more illuminating than the sun. Our sins dull its brightness each time we refuse to see it and choose "our way"instead of "God's way". Slowly, our hearts forget who to follow and we are wandering in a desert of hopelessness. Ask, and you shall receive. Seek, and you shall find. Keep the door to our Father open always. The window that was once shut opens with His mercy and love and direction. 

     "The golden ticket" allows us to see God face to face with confidence and our love to greet Him with joy. To walk into the Palace of Gold, where our Mansion awaits us. 

     Remember in Willy Wonka, and how happy everyone was when they found "the golden ticket?" Well, ours is real and worth so much more.
