Live Your Life Through A Jar Of Jellybeans

I had written this poem in January, 2005 as I wanted to have some relief to the stressful time in my life. I was at work one night (call center)around 11:30 pm. I was having a moment of tears and recollection on how to improve my well being. I stood up, raised my hands in the air, called upon God to give me something to live by,because my way of thinking was becoming a huge struggle. Within moments he came back with, "Live Your Life Through A Jar Of Jellybeans",I started to laugh through my tears and asked "What the heck are you talking about" for the next few days I couldn't get out of my head what God had said to me. Inwas being filled up with so much relief and warmth inside. I started to put in perspective everything about a jellybean, the taste, the colors,the feeling, how people interact with colors this is what I came up with.....nnnLife is as good and as sweet as you make it on a daily basisnIt is like a rainbow, not too many things are Black or WhitenMost people associate a color with a feelingnSo when you Live Your Life Through A Jar Of Jellybeans nYou will be BLESSED everyday you have OnennSince the day I have written this first poem, I have written 32 more, on spiritual healing, marriage,family, grandchildren, first born,even on how to to cope with the death of loved ones, the world around us and the people in it who make a contribution to change for the common good of all nnnHere are the next two I wrote...nnnFaithnnwhen you get to the end of all the light you knownAnd it is time to step into the darkness of the unknown nFaith is knowing that one of two things shalll happennEither you will be given something solid to stand on nOr you will be taught how to flynEverything in Life has a silver lining nBe InspirednnThis poem healed the very essense of my well being and from it I attained the knowledge to let things go that held me so tight, for this I am gratefulnnnnAngelsnnAngels are above younAngels are beside younAngels are within you nTo guide you,To inspire you, To make your dreams come truenAngels have enlightened you, To enhanceyour SPIRIT of all that has come and will benThe burdens you have carried Great or Small are brought to the goodness of your soulnBy the angels Above you, Beside you, Within younThey are the guidance you receive through yournJourney Of LifenWill Be EverlastingnAngels give you the ingredients to have the nLove,Warmth,ComfortnTo fill your hearts desirenAngels healnnI wrote this one as I had lost three family members to a car accident on January 14th, 2007. it was very hard for me to cope until I wrote this poem.
