我们都来自于一个美好的地方,就是天堂。你和神一起住在那儿,可是当时候到来,你必须去你现在的家时,你就哇哇哭了起来,因为你很想再和神住在一起。
当水晶滴般的泪水倾泻于你的脸颊时,神接住它们,这时于泪水中出现了一个盒子和一支银色的钥匙,神将你对天堂的记忆及你的生命放入这个盒子里,关上盒子、并用钥匙锁住它。
祂将这盒子放进你的心中,而钥匙则放在祂自己的口袋里,因为祂稍后才须要用上。神将你放置在一颗星星上,你舒适地躺着那星星的尘 灰上,然后就睡着了,当你醒过来时,却完全不记得任何事了。
然而神仍然与你同在,只是现在你要与你的爸爸和妈妈在一起。神将你弱小的身体放进妳母亲的子宫里,然后祂才离开,不,事实上祂并没有离去,祂永远不会离开你,祂总是守护着你。
神让你有选择的权利,看你要做坏事,还是要相信祂,并且做个好人。当你做坏事时,你就让神心痛,只是不管你做了什么,祂还是爱着你;假如你一生尽做坏事,那么你将伤透了祂的心,因为这个选择将使你永远无法回去天堂的家,祂会想念你的。
假如你一直都做好事,那么在你临终时,神会从天堂下来给你一个亲吻,并且用银色的钥匙将盒子打开,因为现在是回家的时候了。
所以如果你失去了心爱的人,记得,他们并没有离开你,他们只是回家罢了,他们是回到那天堂的家去了。

We all start out in a wonderful place. Its called Heaven. You stay there with God. When its time for you to go to what is now your home, you cry. You want to stay with God. As the crystal drops pour down your cheeks, God catches them. Out of the tears emerge an open box, and a silver key. God puts your memory of heaven, and your life, into the box. He closes the box, and locks it with the key. He puts the box in your heart, and drops the key in His pocket. Hell need it for later. God lies you down on a star. You nestle down in the stardust and you go to sleep. When you wake, youll remember nothing. God stays with you, all the way to what is now your mom and dad. He weaves your tiny body into your mothers womb. Then He leaves, no, actually He didnt leave. He never will. Hes your Guardian Angel.
God gives you a choice. To go do bad things, or to believe in Him and do good. When you do bad, it hurts God. He loves you, no matter what you do. If you do bad, all your life, it hurts Him, because if you choose to do bad, youll never go home to heaven. Hell miss you.
If youve been good, and youre about to die, God comes down from Heaven, gives you a kiss on the cheek, and unlocks the box with the silver key. Time to go home.
So if youve lost loved ones, just remember, they havent left you, theyve gone home. Home to Heaven.
