HAPPY MAIL DAY FROM HEAVEN



Hi Momma and Mike,

I thought it was time I spoke to you all through your imagination. You know God blesses us each with the ability to imagine things, and our imaginations can be used in so different ways. Sometimes we can use it to help us cope with sadness and heartache. I think God gave you your imagination to do just this at this time in your life.

You know don't you Momma that I am in heaven? Of course you do. I see you and Mike, Dad and Jill. I see Buddy and Lori and Shari. I see Uncle Freddie and Aunt Mary. All my brother and sister in laws and nieces and nephews and great-nieces and great-nephews. I see my extended family like Amanda and her family and all my church family, my Home Depot family. The wonderful friends I made while working for the City of Bossier and for Cintas. I see the many longtime lawn customers I had who were more than customers. They were my friends. And I see all the friends I ever made along the way; some of whom I didn't even know still cared for me.

And all your blogging friends, Momma. WOW it is unbelievable all the prayers that have been sent up for all my family and for me. Prayers from people from all over the world that I never knew. I will thank you in person one day though. Take the strength Momma. Take it Buddy. Lori, Shari, Mike, Dad and all of you who are hurting take the strength those prayers have sought. It's there for you. Don't let the cries of mercy go in vain. God is answering prayers faster that I can even tell you.

And those of you who helped my family in other ways too, you all know who you are and please know we see it up here and God is smiling and writing it all down!

And some of you are handling my absence easier than others. I know you miss me. I want all of my family to know that I surely knew how much you loved me. I was blessed beyond belief to be your son, and your brother. Your uncle and your nephew. I was amazingly blessed to be your friend.

I can't really say that I am missing YOU though and wait a minute........what I mean is that up here in Heaven the time thing is not the same as you know it to be and you will be reunited with me in a twinkling of the eye by our time here so there is not time for me to be sad. But the main reason I am not sad is because here there is no such thing as sadness. It's true all you ever read about is true and so much more.

Please don't spend any more time thinking of my last breathes on earth because I can tell you that I did not suffer pain. One second I was in my house and the next second I was looking at the face of God. And I was holding the hands of Jesus.

I hope beyond all things that each of you will begin to let God heal your hearts and you will keep me in your heart as well. I am still alive within each of you and am totally alive in heaven. WOW is all I can say about that. You just would not believe how glorious it is.

Remember the good times and the love we shared. Don't even let your mind go to places that are not happy and good. Celebrate my life but not my death, because I did not die. I live forever and you will also live forever with me when you are finished with your jobs there. You see THAT is the reason God called me home.

He told me that he had created me to be born of you, Momma and that I had one specific job on earth to do. When it was my time to either do my job or refuse my job I would be called away from all of you because my time would be over on earth. I never even knew what my job would be, but all of a sudden here I was in heaven and God said to me "Well done my faithful servant. Well done". "You are my child and you listened when I spoke". I had actually done the job I was created for. I came to heaven not because I deserved it but because of the Cross and because I listened.

And you see family, this is what I want for all of you. You won't ever know why you are there until you leave, but please, please be ready. Just live as you know you should and always listen. Open your hearts to listen and to love. Be joyful and you will rise to the challenge when your special heavenly job presents itself. And please let God take the heartache away, because if your heart is filled with sadness, depression and you are having trouble finding your way then you will miss the joy God so desires you to know. Please come out of the darkness and into the light. I'm telling you, it's all about love. I'll help you if you will let me.

I love you all and we will be together soon and it will NEVER end. WOW!

Oh and talk about joy. You probably heard me hooping and hollering when I saw my old faithful pal Bugsy again.

I'm still smiling and I'm smiling at all of you too.

Eternally in your heart and soul, Jake

  4. Oh Mollye Sweetie...
    I am writing this through tear stained eyes, as I know each and every word that you have written is so true.

    When each of us enter this world, we have a set number of days that we are left here to share with our families, and when our precious Father calls us home, we are gone in a twinkling. (It is only a twinkling in heaven, no saddness there, so time is a twinkling.)

    You are a beautiful woman Mollye, a beautiful Mother, Friend, Sister, and Daughter who will someday walk the streets of gold too. I know we will see each other on the other side if not in this Earthly world. I will always cherish our friendship.

    I am hugging you tightly today and everyday, and please know that I love you so.

    Country hugs and so much love sweetie...Sherry

  10. Although there were tears in my eyes as I read this wonderfully beautiful post all I could think of was one of my most favorite Precious Moments pieces titled "No Tears Past the Gate."

  11. Mollye, you are such an amazing and impressive woman. What a beautiful letter you just shared with us. I, too, was affected by its beauty. I will say this, too....I believe that your writing talent has just burst from your heart. Talent that you didn't even realize you had maybe. And pouring out our feelings,through our writing, is so theraputic. Please know you are in my thoughts, daily. I truly mean that. I am here for you. Please e-mail me whenever you want.

  12. I read it and it made me sob. I know it's beautiful and true but I cry every day, sometimes without any warning it just wells up out of me. I wish that I could close my eyes and open them to see him smiling at me. I have tried to be strong for my family, but it is so hard. I wish that I were with you momma.

    I dream of him and in my dreams we are laughing and doing things, and I am being his big brother, trying to fuss over him and protect him. I hate waking up so much.

  13. DEAR JAKE,
    THANK YOU FOR THE BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE YOU SPOKE TO YOUR MAMA. IT MADE ME CRY BUT I KNOW YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH. I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER IN HEAVEN ALSO...PLEASE GIVE HER A BIG HUG, IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY.
    I AM SO SORRY I DID NOT MEET YOU IN THIS LIFETIME BUT FOR SURE WE WILL MEET IN HEAVEN. YOU HAVE INSPIRED SO MANY PEOPLE AND EVEN BROUGHT SOME TO THEIR KNEES IN PRAYER WHO HAVE NOT TALKED TO THE FATHER IN A LONG TIME.
    THANK YOU JAKE...YOU ARE SO LOVED.
    YOUR FRIEND,
    DEBBIE

  17. Mollye, you write so beautifully and this post is tearful but it makes me smile. I want to join Jake in Heaven someday This life is so fleeting, so trivial. Yet while we are here we need to surround ourselves with the best people that we can. I am so honored to know you. I never stop thinking about your family and you. What marvelous people you are to be able to continue laughing and loving in spite of this earthly sadness. I wish I could hug you in person! I think the world of you sweet friend. Blessings to you anne
