Welcome to Telegrams From Heaven
Franklin D. Roosevelt reminds Norman’s daughter that if she wants to write her own fairy tale, that change may be required. We’ve transcribed his telegram into an easier to read experience. We hope you enjoy it. Thanks for dropping by.
Dear Daughter, Life happens. It is not all fairy tales, with fancy dances, handsome princes and glass slippers. Often, princes are frogs, dances are duds, and the slippers are too tight and cut your feet. You may think you cannot bear it another minute. I offer you one piece of advice. When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on. Survey your situation. Choose to either change yourself or change your situation. You will not be able to change others. Once you realize this one truth, you can then begin writing a new fairy tale with you starring as the princess. Franklin D Roosevelt

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.
