Tales of...."The Good Life"....

Once upon a time there was a place called "La La Land".
It seemed that everyone in this land which was referred to as "The Land of Plenty", was so pleased with life that you could hear songs, whistling,
humming and all kinds of vocal expressions that seemed to say..."LaLa LaLa La"all across the land.
Life went merrily on its way....the problems or nuisances so to speak, were inconsequential compared to the sense of well-being and enjoyment of
The Good Life in La La Land.
Then a day arrived, 9/11/01, that stopped the music.....temporarily.
Time stood still...
The inhabitants of LaLa Land received a crushing blow from out of the blue.
Members of their family were attacked, killed and injured.
Their attackers were music impaired invaders from many lands upon the earth.
The attackers were......heartless!
Since real music from the soul....begins in the heart of the carrier.....they were not capable of experiencing this LaLa Land music themselves....
and not being content to leave well enough alone......they wanted to steal the hearts of those that were music lovers.
But, Lo and Behold, a Magnificent Symphony arose that was more beautiful than could have been anticipated by the invaders of LaLa Land.
A synchronized sound erupted from the united heart of the music makers.....a simultaneous refrain that was heard around the world....it sounded like
.....or maybe it was....Heavenly Music!
Tears, laughter, suffering, kindness, forgiveness, sharing......were the notes of the heavenly sound.
Yes, hearts had exploded within La La Land but the broken pieces ....emitted music.
The music of....togetherness in the good, bad or ugly of life.
Wholeness remained ...intact....as a tribute to the lost family members.
.....For you see it was they who had touched the very Heart of God and brought fourth the exquisite sound of eternal music and life
which forever exclaims......"Yes, it IS a Good Life!!!

The Proverbs speak of LaLa Land Living....(12:20 LB)..."Deceit fills hearts that are plotting for evil; JOY fills hearts that are planning for good!!!"
