Yesterday.was good...Today is unknown at this time...Tomorrow may never come...

As a young boy, I ask Grandfather what we are doing this day? Grandfather, said, Young one, walk with me and we shall see what this day holds.
Grandfather and I are walking next to the river, we see many things as we journey on this path, we have seen deer,turkey,a rabbit and we have seen several fish jump next to the bank of this river...the birds are so active and happy this new day, all things are active and doing what they need to do for this day, Yet, I am waiting for Grandfather to tell me of the day and what it holds for us...
Grandfather, says after a while of our walking, sit with me young one, let us sit,pray,listen and then we will talk together some more...so without a word from me, we stop and sit...much was being sent to the heavens from Grandfather, I could feel the words flowing from his spirit to Creator, the power that was sitting next to me I had never known, yet we had walked, talked, sat together and prayed many times before...I start to pray as well, I have worried about Grandfather as of late, I feel as though he has a message for me yet he waits to speak it, I also feel deep inside me a feeling of loss and as I think of our walks and sharing, I feel sad at times and I just don't understand this, for Grandfather always is fun to be with and I learn much when we are together...so we both continue our prayers...
It is about noon now, and Grandfather looks over at me, he smiles, yet has not said a word while we have been sitting here...so I wait...Grandfather told me one time, young one, always have patient and respectful self...never try and rush or change what that time holds for you, for when we wait, all things are as they should be, yet if we decide to do something before its true time, we will find many things we don't want happens...these words are flowing in my mind and I am sure to do as He has taught...so I wait...
After a while, Grandfather says young one...this day is showing me that we are to be happy and all our needs are met even before we know what that need is...it is a good day...
Grandfather, says, yesterday was good as well, because we are alive and able to fix all that we have done wrong then, we have the chance to make all things as they should be in this time of this day, so that yesterday may be remembered as a good day...He looks over at me, I am filled with much love and care for Him, He knows this, yet today is not like any other...as I sit and gain knowledge, I also am feeling so much loss and I don't understand why...
Grandfather, says young one...be calm, patient,filled with faith,sit with Creator always, share all things with the One that has created all things, never fear anything in this life as long as you and Creator are walking and living as one in the same, and most of all remember where ever you are He is and so am I...
Grandfather, had a smile on his face as he shared this with me, yet he had a tear flow down his strong hard face...I ask, are you ok Grandfather? He says, yes young one, I am fine...it is getting late we must start our journey home...I got up and looked deep into Grandfathers eyes, he had something else to share, yet he has not...I don't understand, yet his words have burned deep into my spirit, so I wait, I will be patient...Grandfather, gets up and holds out his big strong hand, I take his hand and as always I am safe and ready to journey where ever he wants to travel...we shared no more words on the journey home...
We arrive at dusk, it is almost dark, Grandfather tells me, we will look forward to the new day to come, and we shall both learn and share even more on that time and place, so be thankful for today and its blessing, be thankful that you have had the chance to make yesterday good as well and remember...we are to do as Creator has planned, so don't make plans for the new day until He has shown what that day may hold and you have a chance to ask and understand...Grandfather, bends down, kisses my head, looks deep into my eyes and says to me, for the first time young one, I must say to you...good bye...I look at him, and another tear flows down his face, and then another...I feel so sad, yet I am so proud to be with Grandfather...but he has never said good bye before, it has always been until we meet again another day...Grandfather said to me one day, never end a day, just allow it to flow into the next, for if you consider that day over, tomorrow may never come...Grandfather lets go of my hand and he walks away...I stand and wait until I can see him no more and then I go inside our home and do what I need to before bedtime...
It is morning before I know it, a new day, I hear the birds giving thanks to Creator, I give thanks as well, I get dressed and go into the kitchen, mom fixes breakfast for us early each new day...but mom is not here, no breakfast either, no sounds of her humming low to herself...I look down the hall, her door to her room is open, yet she is not in it, then I hear from the living room, son is that you...yes mom I am coming, as I walk into the living room, many of our family is sitting talking to mom, they all have tears flowing...I don't understand, look at the sun, it is bright, the birds are singing and happy, and look the family is sitting together, so what can be wrong with today so far...mom comes over and takes my hand, she leads me outside, we walk together, she has not as of yet said a word...I am doing what I was taught...I wait...we get to a stump of an old oak, she tells me sit, I do as she asked, she looks at me and says, Grandfather, he has left us...He will not come to see you anymore as he always has...He has gone to a better place...He has...I say to mom at this moment...He passed over, she looks surprised, yet relieved at the same time, I stand, I reach out for her, I wipe the tears aways, and I say to her...don't cry, be calm,patient and have your faith be the strongest it ever has been, remember Grandfathers words to each of us and go and pray and wait for the answer, for it will always come, and this as all things are designed and created by Him and only He can make all understand this and all things purpose in this life...but we all know that we are not living this life for ever, but now Grandfather will be able to walk and learn much and share with us even more if only we ask...
So yesterdays, yesterday is gone, yesterdays, today is tomorrow now, so yesterday is gone, yet tomorrow has arrived and it becomes today and is filled with many teaching, and tomorrow has yet to come...Grandfather, this is EagleBear the young one, that is not so young anymore...I wait for tomorrow to come so my time ends here and I can walk with you once again...my love always, young one that is old one now.

Blessings Joseph/EagleBear aka...Young One
