Preface to Book The First

A little note: "Grandpa's Story" is really about a real grandpa, and things in his life that he did and said, and thought, that made life for those he loves very hard, and painful, like many characters in his story. It also reflects a small part of grandpa's own hurt, relationship problems, and his disobeying Master, many times. He is a bit wiser now, but not much, and he has found in his pain, that Master's example of loving others when it hurts the most is truly the only way to respect Master, and to obey His gentle command to love even one's enemies, and even if those enemies are in one's own family!

As both Papa and Grandpa, I am truly seeking forgiveness, and healing to bring Master's reconciliation into his family, but I also understand that my family has the right to refuse to obey Master's command to love and reconcile, and each family member can go off into eternity still angry at me, and really, angry at Creator, Who longs to be loved as the loving Master of each person in my family.

Master's love is what sets me free from the pain of my choices, and from the deep hurt I feel from his family choosing to not be together, in Master's love. This story is about the first family, and how disobeying Master brought this family separation, hurt, pain, and eventually, death. Truly, it is this papa and grandpa's story of his own family and all our experience with living!

Now, it's just fine for you, reader, to peek ahead to page 74! I know, it's really "cheating,"!, but, I won't look if you go there now! I'm sure you will understand what grandpa's story is about if you read those pages first! (But, if you're too chicken, it's OK, too!)

What I, "papa  & grandpa," really wants, is for what this story tells about trusting Master with everything anyone ever experiences to really impress each reader to follow that simple purpose in their living. Creator is so real! But, He is so forgotten in these Last Days. His Love never left His world. His Truth always stays the same. His Reconciliation and Forgiveness always supply those who come to each other asking true forgiveness and seeking reconciliation with His Joy.

NOT trusting Master to come together in His Love, Forgiveness, and Reconciliation makes living a terrible thing, filled with all the hurts, pains, confusion, wrong choices, and the host of problems that part of grandpa's story clearly details! But, grandpa's story is more than problems. The characters in it find Master's Living Way so rewarding that their own living is like being in His Presence! They live very exciting lives, and everything they experience just makes their appreciation for Master that much more meaningful.

That's the "Real" reason behind grandpa's story. When Creator is given His right place in grandpa's living, and in anyone's living, then grandpa's and those persons' living is filled every day with excitement, real meaning, peace, and such hope and love for everyone else that it is truly much like living in Heaven, right beside our Master, Lord, and Creator!

So, why would grandpa NOT tell his story? Think about that, for a bit!
