?Never forget,? said Gideon, ?that the magic is not only in you, but all around you. This Universe is a magical Universe and was designed for our enjoyment and growth. You change your world by changing the way you look at it. It's all a matter of perception and attitudes. We'll meet whenever you want to and chat about things that are important to you. Call on either or both of us and we'll be there. From now on, so long as you always re- member that the Presence is with you, your life will flow in trailing clouds of glory from God Who is your home.?



?How about some more coffee?? I offered. I was so overwhelmed, it was all I could think of saying at the moment.

?No, thank you,? said Gideon.

?Not for me, either,? replied Marla.

Suddenly it had become extremely still around us. Not even a whisper in the wind could be heard. Without warning, the detonating sound of thunder exploded. Instinctively I blinked and in that split-second I found myself alone, holding my half-empty cup of coffee. Gideon and Marla had vanished. I rose from my seat and walked into the kitchen. There,in the sink, I found their coffee cups. Somewhat awe-struck, I stood staring at nothing in particular. ?In trailing clouds of glory. . . .? The words echoed through the hallways and ricocheted off the walls of my mind as I went about preparing dinner.

Now, dear reader, as you and I arrive at this point,perhaps, it's a good time to consider, without a doubt, that each of us has been led here to reflect on this simple truth ? Although our beginnings may end and our endings begin again, throughout all eternity we will be journeying in the everlasting Fields of Forever.
