#021 ~ Charles Dickens


Welcome to Telegrams From Heaven. Charles Dickens enourages us to seek happiness. We’ve translated his telegram into an easier to read experience. We hope you enjoy it. Thanks for dropping by.

Dear Friend,

Happiness is a gift and the trick is not to expect it, but to delight in it when it comes. 

I know there are struggles. I was forced to toil away much of my childhood working in factories. 

We were poor. My father was in debtor’s prison. I didn’t have a choice. But I survived those miserable days and nights, and so can you. 

Seek happiness. Look around. Start small if necessary. It’s there. You just need to find it. I believe you will. You just need to believe it! 

Charles Dickens

A Few More Items

Through brief, focused and topical messages, Telegrams From Heaven intends to encourage, entertain and inspire our neighbors around the world. We want to provide hope and inspiration. 

The “authors” of each Telegram From Heaven are men and women of accomplishment who lived in the ancient or recent past. Each were known for their faith, or at least the potential for faith during their lifetimes. They are from around the globe, from every walk of life, and their life stories are inspiring and encouraging. We believe these stories offer powerful messages that might help change lives in some small or meaningful way, even if just to improve your walk with God, or to realize someone cares enough to send you a Telegram From Heaven.

The word “heaven” inspires limitless definitions among the religious and non-religious. A few examples include “the home of God,” “a setting of ultimate perfection in the clouds,” or “a place where the resurrection bodies and departed souls of believers spend eternity.” Most often the word conjures up images of ornate, opulent buildings and streets paved with gold. Of beauty, of paradise, of a heavenly kingdom. 

Most Christians believe it is a real place, separate from Earth. Others are convinced it is close enough for its inhabitants to reveal themselves miraculously to the living. 

Thanks for dropping by.
