Edit:Jesus & Joseph loving life: in the Garden~
Wanted to let everyone know that a special touch has been added by that dear heart of: Heart-2-Heart. She has given us a preview of what one of the tunes is going to be like: in heaven. It’s just got to put a smile on your face…and gets one dancing!
Want to share a couple of thoughts about this next chapter: I was surprised to read recently in the Amplied version of the Book of Genesis, Chapter 1: where it talks of domestic animals that were created, as well as the wild animals. In my story I have previously let my imagination presume that all animals that were created at the beginning of time: were all what we would define as wild; although I tend to think that they all got along with each other. *smiles* But it never cross my mind that there may actually been domestic/tamed animals that were created by God. I find that fascinating: did God himself tame the animals? *smiles* The other point in my story that I’m sure isn’t even considered as being realistic, is: the idea that dinosaurs actually existed somewheres in the Garden, when God created everything other kind of being. There have been other people that I have heard that have believed that dinosaurs did exist with people. Whether they did or not: isn’t really important to me. But I think that it introduces an idea in the: equation of life, where many things may have happened at the beginning, that man has no idea of. Nevertheless, it fits in nicely with my story. *smiles*

Five day had flown by, as Joseph & Jesus had spent camping in the Garden. Jesus was having the time of his life. And Joseph mused, "Son, this has got to be the coolest spot on the planet."
"Yes, dad. It was meant to be a place that would forever rejuvenate the body and soul."
"Ah, son. How it has done that for me! And the sights that I have seen for that last five days: simply astounding."
Jesus was so happy to see Joseph full of life.
Joseph continued, wildly gesturing with his hands, "Imagine seeing sea monsters, as they are called in Scripture. And they came right up to us, seemingly greeted us, as they waved with their fins. I suppose that they recognized you, son, huh?"
"Right you are, dad."
"And son, what are those creatures that live on the other side of the Garden, that we seen from the mountains?"
"Dad, in the years to come they’ll be known as dinosaurs. Even though many are huge, the father provides for all of thier needs with every conceivable fruit and herb trees, that will keep them completely nourished."
"And were they existing here, at the same time: with all of the other creatures, including Adam and Eve?"
"Yes, dad. And Adam got quite a kick out of them. He even convinced some of the ones that could fly: to take him for rides." As Jesus reminisced, he smiled and siad, "What a grand time we all had before the Fall."
Joseph laughed, giddly. He just couldn’t help himself. He slapped himself on his knee, saying, "Incredible. Simply incredible. And son, what has happened to my body: no more aches and pains? And I can walk for miles, again: like we have been doing the last few days climbing these mountains."
"Dad, that’s one of the wonders of this place. We created the perfect environment where man could have lived forevermore."
Joseph was trying to grasp it all. But he was intoxicated with life and one thought quickly led to another thought…"Son, we have seen all kinds of wild animals living peacefully with one another, and some of those are supposed to be arch-enemies of each other. And how do you explain those domesticated animals: those dogs and cats playing with each other and even greeted us along the way?"
"Well, dad, as I say, this is paradise, where all is harmony, all is peace, and the our divine result is an atmosphere where love, healing, and fullness of life: pervades this environment."
Joseph wondered if one could die of happiness; then thought, ‘What a way to die’.
"Son, are we in some kind of time warp? How can all of this be happening?"
Jesus gayly laughed. Dad, My father in heaven thought that you needed some deep rest and relaxation and wanted to gift you with a glimpse into what was envisioned by my father at the beginning."
"Son, what can I do for you, after all that you have done for me?"
Jesus smiled. He wanted to say, "Say hello to my father in heaven, when you see him." But said, You have given me more than I could have ever hope to have. My mother hasn’t ever let a day go by without singing of the goodness, the kindness, the thoughtfulness, the love of Joseph. You have cared for her with a deep love and concern that couldn’t be matched by any other man. That’s why my father chose you to care for her."
"Son, thank you for allowing me to experience such a miraculous life. And I feel that all of this surrounding beauty is a crowning glory that you and the father have bestowed upon me, of which I am not worthy of."
Joseph hugged Jesus and being in paraside with Jesus: brought on the full realization of what he was experiencing. "I’m hugging the son of God." He was stuplified. Than a moment later, Jesus stepped away a few paces and showed Joseph his full glory, as much as Joseph could behold…as Joseph behold Jesus’s bright, shining glory, he became slain in the spirit, as he rested on the sacred ground.
What a beautiful entry, Bri! I could see in my mind and heart all that you’ve described here! How our Father in Heaven must love his creation; particularly us who were created in His Image! It’s difficult to put into words of my understanding of God’s Word, but you’ve helped me understand so much better; Thank you, Bri! Love, Liz

Looks like Jesus and Joseph enjoyed each other’s company. I’ve always wondered though, why Joseph die early or was it because he was already very old? Thanks for continuing to write, Bri.

Imagine those dinos in Heaven??? Must seems odd to see them all there too. 🙂 Imagine I have a giant T-Rex as my pet in heaven? Where can I built his dog house? Or T-Rex house? I bet my garden has to be gigantic to fit him and his T-Rex doggie bone for playing! LOL Great entry as always, Bri!

Oh, thank you for your notes, Bri. I bet there are dinos in heaven too. Even if some people says no to it because of the bible. But remember that in the Revelation, it was mention about an evil dragon (Satan) – so if this evil dragon exist such as dragon … then there must be so many dinos too. I mean good dinos. Oh! I want a dragon as my vehicle transport. Then I can fly! LOL 🙂

Well, we have Mother Mary as a saint. 🙂 I cannot imagine if I were to be a saint; not qualified for it. I am a sinner as well as any other people out there. My faith is great, but I am a struggler in my faith & religion. Still working hard on it! he, he, he … God knows … *Wish you Happy Friday, Bri!*

I left a post for you on my diary! I couldn’t include the code in a note on your diary so despite my disapproval in having to share my technical secrets or making a friends only post which I dislike even more. I simply didn’t know what else to do, and a promise is a promise.
