Elvis - A Lighted Candle

[Wanda June Hill]

Elvis: They come to see my suits...so I give them something to look at... could just hang 'em up out there in the spot light 'n play records...think that'd be just as good? Give me a break-huh?" (He laughs)

Elvis: "Naw...it's not just me they come to see...it's the show...everybody. They want to see some flash and so I give it to 'em...if I came out just wearing something regular it'd be-be a disapointment an' boring. Man, it's not just me...it's ever thing going on-the group, the band and orchrestra...if it was just me an' two or three others', no body would come. I ain't that special! God knows it's not anything I'm doin' out there...it's all of it together man!"

Elvis: Man, ever where we go people ask me what I'm goin' to wear! See-it's not me...it's the suits! One of these days I'm just gonna wear a regular outfit, a shirt, jacket and pants...you'll hear 'em hollarin' clear to LA! Wait an' see..."

Sorry Elvis, it wasn't "just the suit, or the band, or the singers, or the orchrestra....it was you honey, just you.
And you knew it, that's why you came out there night after night, sick, throwing up, chilling and dizzy---after all they came...so you went on. wjh

IT WOULD NOT HAVE MATTERED TO ME IF IT WAS JUST HIM SITTING ON A CHAIR, AND NOT DOING ANYTHING. BECAUSE BY HIS PRESENCE, AND HIS LAUGH, AND HIS SMILE IF A TICKET WOULD OF COST A SMALL FORTUNE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WORTH IT TO ME. BARB!

how Elvis could have known what he meant for us,no! he didn't have an idea..it was always sad to know that he never had an Elvis in his life, like we have..I think we are more fortunate than him about this..

[Elvis'SweetSweetSpirit]

You are so very right Wanda!!
Thanks,
Fran

I can relate to what you say as above, Zey and have indeed thought this myself at times too. But, you know even in his darkest times I believe he was able to turn to his Lord because of his faith and deepest held beliefs. Elvis prayed before each and every show to ask for the strength and courage he needed and believed too that he would receive "more than his share" in order to be able to do that - I feel too in my heart and spirit that He did help Elvis too, gave him courage and strength when Elvis asked for it and also that he could bring a knowledge of the truth and love of God to his audience each night through his beautiful voice.

Even though we may not be able to know or understand this at times you know? especially when we miss Elvis so very much, I believe too that the Lord showed Elvis the utmost Compassion and Love at the end of his life when He reached down, took Elvis in His Arms and carried him Home. I appreciate SO much (especially when we all miss him) it cannot be easy to see it like this for sure but yet I know somehow (beyond all knowing that I cannot explain) that this is true!

Sorry for the Sunday "sermon" there!!!

With love, take care,

Sue

Sue, I can share everything you said above.

[Barbara Lea]

SUE YOU STARTED THE TEARS WITH WHAT YOU SAID, YOU KNOW I CAN HEAR ELVIS AS HE CROSSED OVER AND WAS WELCOMED BY THE LORD. I BET ELVIS WENT WHEWWW! WANT A RELIEF! BUT YES LIKE ME TODAY I HAVE BEEN MISSING HIM SO BAD, I MEAN I MISS HIM EVERYDAY. BUT EVEN MORE TODAY, I GUESS BECAUSE AUG. 16TH IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. FAIRYTALE!

[Rainbow Light]

MAYBE THAT IS JUST IT WITH AUGUST SO NEAR IN A WAY AND EVEN STARTED MYSELF OFF IN TEARS WITH THIS I ADMIT! BUT GENERALLY HOPED AND WANTED IT TO BE A POSITIVE AND UPLIFTING POSTING FOR THE MOST PART -

Hi Maia

I´m absolutely not suprised to hear that, because Elvis was singing through his SOLE and that´s so PURE.... and the feeling what you get when you´re LIVE at a Concert like that.... pffffff

I feel ELVIS extremely close watching "ALOHA from HAWAII".... for example the song "American Trilogy"
Every time I see and hear it.... I become very close with Elvis.. connected...
I laugh, cry, sing and open my heart and sole for Elvis and let him experience my feelings towards him and how important he is in my life... and that feels WUNDERFULL!!!

[Rainbow Light]

I understand the connection with Elvis and specially so with "An American Trilogy", so pure and powerful, that voice! but yes I can relate to what you say for sure, Carola!

[Rainbow Light]

Bringing this thread back up front for anyone to read that may have missed the first time round!

[Amanda Viola]

Thank you again, Sue.

It moves me so much to see how Elvis intented to use himself as a tool, to spread around a positive energy that would reach others hearts, to help them to get in touch with their most sacred part.

He is such a good example of what each one of us can do, if we care enough!

[Rainbow Light]

Yes, me also. Elvis was a tool, still remains so in fact although his physical body is no longer on Earth with us, for inspire everyone to spread that positive energy around, or as you would say those Love Bubbles!

with Love & Light!
