STORIES OF ENDEARMENT

Subject: friend

hey all.. my friend, Floyd sent me the link below a few years ago.  He's on the other side now and his presence is with me today.  Suddenly this little thing just popped into my brain... haven't thought of it for a long time and he brought it back to me.
 
These days, there are so many things that feel so complicated and unbearable.  I know that many are going through so much internal pain and suffering.  Floyd is here reminding me of the simple joys we miss when we become overwhelmed with life.  He's sharing it all over again with me and there is no distance between him and me today -- it's wonderful to know and feel that.
 
Anyway, I feel like I want to share this with you because it's just simple pure joy to see and hear.  So from my heart to yours, in honor of my friend Floyd who is with me today...  here's to you:  http://www.terrisfunny.com/movies/afriend.swf
 
I love you,

I have wanted to share Cole’s thoughts on his Pop-pop for months now, but needed time for the emotion of it to soften. I find as days go by, Cole moves through this experience much like we do – gradually, and with increasing understanding. So in all ways my Dad has taught – and continues to do so, as we grasp the great meaning of stepping through the veil to live as one. -Bethany

Dear Pop-
I really loved you a lot, because your kindness to the whole world was really good to me. Really nice, really caring and I just loved it. So, you were a fun, kind man to me.
You were my grandpa so I just loved you.
No matter where you go and where I go, love will always be around me and your wonder. When I close my eyes I saw the future and all the good times we had. I hear you saying “I love you Cole, I love you Cole, I love you Cole.” I’m really sorry you died.

Pop is exactly like God. Nobody loves me as much as Pop, except maybe God.

Postscript, July 26, 2007

“Mom, I don’t mind that Pop died, because I feel his love inside me. And I know that deep down, he’s still alive, somewhere.”


Mary-Anne Stevenson' Tribute to Floyd
 
I have only just now found the internet site that was dedicated to Floyd Watson.  THANK YOU.
I live in Australia, and to be honest, Floyd's emails were the only ones I have been receiving that are from the "kingdom ministries" group............why? because everything he wrote to me was so without a desire to glory in his own abilities......He oozed the desire to speak only what God wanted him to. I have kept a few special emails, and so I feel to copy one I received about a year ago.  I was so blessed by this precious man.
 
Floyd and I hardly knew each other,  we had never met face to face.....and yet I felt a bond with him over emails that was so endearing, I extend my love to his loved ones, and a special hug for his brother for giving him such a splendid place to fly away from.  BIG HUG FLOYD.
 
With love

I would love a personal encouragement from you, something special, is that too much to ask?
 You make me smile. The past few days have been interesting to live through. I have felt like a fish in a fish bowl in a small row boat in the ocean.... and the white caps have been whipping the sides up and down and all around.........
Isn't it wonderful to know "all things (things not there) so it should be ALL WORKS FOR THE GOOD of those called according to His will and purpose. I believe in our DNA we carry all those in our bloodline that where before us. So everything we find ourselves in is for more than just us. It helps me to know this....nothing is wasted... my children are going to benefit from alot I encounter. The best comes from NO sweat for we know our ministry is not just to the house but to the Master. I can see the desire of your heart and I can see what some call failures but we know ALL is working for us. WE CAN ONLY BE what folks see us as. A good teacher, a gardener, a writer, a prophet....WHO DO YOU SAY THAT YOU ARE? Others can not put an identity on us... WE DO and after Spirit. I AM the beloved of the Father, the apple of His eyes. So,me might see me as a failure but I know its all Spirit....for flesh and blood shall not inherit the Kingdom. Just be WHO YOU ARE and only the Father can open eyes to see the reality of your being.....the Christ of God. I see you....I know you and its not after flesh but by Spirit and WE ARE ONE.   DEEP BREATH ... you live in the Garden and the fragrance is starting to go forth.....beautiful.... peace   life   mercy kindness forgiveness..............you are one beautiful lady.  big hugs  ((((((MA)))))
Paul said in 2 Corn.   WE ARE THE FRAGRANCE OF CHRIST    that's why all we can proclaim is Christ ............... YAHOO
Have a blessed Day! for YOU are the Dawning of this new day.
Love you!

Bruce Harbert's Tribute to Floyd
March 2, 2007


As far as my "spiritual" life is concerned,  Floyd, by far, had the biggest influence on me.  No one even came close to him.  It seems just like yesterday that we were walking up the road through the orchard at Apple Hill and I was so worried about "being deceived".  Floyd could see the fear in my eyes and he chuckled and said..."Don't worry Bruce, if you wind up in hell...I'll come and get you out!"  HA HA   I remember at the time I thought..."Who in the hell do you think you are that you could get somebody out of hell?"  Of course...now I'm doing the same thing.  Because Floyd showed me where the "secret place" of the Most High is.  I can honestly say that there is NO ONE that I've ever met in my whole life that was as LOVING and manifested UNCONDITIONAL LOVE like Floyd.  All he did was BLESS.  His words and spirit will always be with me...and all of us that were blessed to know him. 
 
I can only hope and pray that I can be 1/1000th of an influence that Floyd was. 

I know he wanted to go out in a "blaze of glory".  That's how I remember him...always...
 
He lived life to the fullest.  Laughed heartily...LOVED without limit...and always saw the good (GOD) in people.

God help us all to live LIFE in this way!

Carol Sigler's Tribute to Floyd
March 5, 2007


Floyd was such an integral part of our lives and he will truly be missed.  I don't think I've ever met such a positive person.  Even when things were not very good with his health or his personal life, Floyd was always "up" because he knew Who was in control.  He did not try to "paddle his canoe upstream" but kept it moving in the direction that the river was flowing so as not to disrupt the flow of energy in his life and of those he touched.  

His e-mails uplifted many and were a source of life for us all.  In all the years that I've known Floyd I have never heard him say one negative thing about anyone or anything. Floyd truly lived what he believed and his presence will be missed but I know he will be present in the great cloud of witnesses cheering us on from the other side as he did in this life.

Charles & Edna Johnson's Tribute to Brother Floyd
March 4, 2007

When we think of Floyd we think "Freeeeeeeeeeeee Spirit". Those words "Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God" is exactly what he lived. We learned so much from Floyd and his writings about the real kingdom of God, the kingdom within, the Garden. After reading so many of his articles on his site I got up enough nerve to e-mail him and ask him if there were any like minded people in my area that he knew of.  He replied with a "what are you looking for, church, bible study, or just fellowship."  I never answered him back. I was out the church world about a year and a half and felt free as can be from the yoke of religiosity, enjoying all the many writings of Floyd and Gary Sigler and many others on the internet. The thought of responding back to Floyd was filled with old fear of bondage so I just left it alone. Still receiving all his writings in my e-mail box for about a year till one day an e-mail came from him not a writing but a note letting me know that him and Gary Sigler were to be in Orlando @ Bethel Tabernacle where Harvey Turnage is the Pastor. I said to my wife I've got to go to this meeting. All week long I felt a pulling or more like a dragging to be at this meeting. I even went out of my way mid week to drive by and locate the church. Come Sunday morning still filled with fear of being in bondage again I told my wife she and the kids stay home and let me check it out. Being a Deliverance minister for ten years is where that mentality came from. After sitting in the car for a few minutes I went in. Music was good, people loving, everyone happy, so I began to relax a bit. Floyd got up and spoke a bit than Gary. I was in Awe. There was a presence in that little church house I've never felt before. JOY UNSPEAKABLE!!!!!!!! I was at home in SPIRIT as well as that being home for the next three years. Thank You So Much Floyd Watson.

Since that time we've shared many a meal together. The Wing House, John's house, Dave & Nancy's, Les & Polly's, and we were so blessed to even have him at our house.

Thank You sooooooooo much Floyd for Gracing us with your presence on this Earth, I know that you are now a part of that "Great Cloud Of Witnesses" spoken of in Hebrews. I also know as John says 'if we walk in the light as HE is in the light we'll have fellowship one with another." So I look forward to working with you as you with me from the other side.

Until that time Brother Floyd, run on, run on, and receive your crown and your next assignment. JOB WELL DONE MY BROTHER, WELL DONE.

Celebrating your LIFE & GREAT PROMOTION

Edris Watson's Tribute
March 3, 2007

I was new in this present truth when I emailed Floyd, I immediately got a response. I asked him how I could be a"better prayer".  He told me to learn how to sit quitely, put on some "flowey" music, and wait on the Lord.

I did as he said, and he was gloriousy right. So sweet, so precious.

I never met him in person, but I often share that simple message with others. 

Also he shared with me his growth in meditation as he practiced these principles.

I loved and love him still.

Karen Harwood's Tribute
Feb. 27, 2007

Thank you so much for writing about Floyd.  He touched my life so many ways.  Now I enjoy so much in people and in nature.  Floyd show me about myself in our gardens and the beauty of it and birds of the air.  I heard about our loss from my sister Nancy and had to be by myself to thank God for allowing me to have a piece of his life and the friendship.  I walked outside my coffee house to take a breath and I looked down and saw 8 feathers,  I was so happy all at once, I laughed and cried at the same time... 

He will always be missed but all we have to do is look around and he's there.

I went out a brought a yellow rose from my garden. I was told by Nancy he loved yellow so it's a flower to see his beauty still flowing through us...  

Thank you for letting me share his love ......

Linda Keith's Tribute
Feb. 27, 2007

Thank you, John for this chance to say something about Floyd.
 
I have read lovely words regarding Floyd and may I say I agree with each word.
 
Floyd was indeed a wonderful, loving person. I thought of him as a true mystic. I met Floyd online and he was the instrument use to get my writtings on the Sigler site.  Since them, Floyd and I shared via of emails, many things that we were seeing happening in the Spirit.
 
It was just the other day that he and I talked about "out of body experiences".  I loved the easiness of talking to him. He was wide open for all that came into his garden.  I will miss him, and yet I am happy that he is finding much of what we sometimes wondered about.
 
Have a great time, Floyd. We know you are still here. 
 
your friend,

Linda Keith

Mary Lou Houllis' Tribute

Feb. 27, 2007

Floyd Watson, how can I express what is in my heart about this man?  Where do I begin? His booming voice, his wonderful inspirational writings, his "Yeeeees"as he answered my many questions, his love of stones and gems, his childlike interest in everything, his Emails that pointed me to new exciting Websites or funny and endearing messages, his enthusiasm as he met and interacted with new friends and then immediately connected them with his old friends, and most of all his great love of life no matter what he was experiencing in his physical world! These are just a few things which endeared Floyd to me and made him so special to many, many others all around the world.
 
He was a truly inspiration man...he lived from a deep connection to the Sprit within himself.  He lived what he preached, "Peace with all men and all creation."  He was a world changer in the most radical sense! 
 
If Floyd Watson was in your life, you would begin to change and expand in ways you never expected. He had the ability to open your heaven to new possibilities.  His radical love gave you permission to come out of the box created to keep you bound.  He delighted with you as he saw your walls begin tumbling down!  He loved to pontificate on the brilliant things the Spirit of God had revealed to him and he did it with such humor that you ended up with tears of laughter running down your face.
 
When I think of Floyd, I think of a man that received delight from the smallest of things and had the ability to embrace those moments like very few ever can. He delighted in a beautiful view, a good meal, a little child, a new place to visit, a new friend, a beautiful stone, a new book, and the wonder of leading others out of the darkness. These experiences were thrilling to Floyd.  He had a way of taking things which might seem mundane and turning them into an exciting adventure.
 
During the last few months, Floyd and I had some very intimate conversations via Instant Messages.  Floyd told me he was going between two worlds much of the time.  I asked him what it was like and he said,"The things of this world are losing their influence over me. Here, there, in the body, out of the body it matter not."  I asked him to please not leave, as we all needed him so much.  He told me each one of us must find our own way.  I know this to be true, but there are those people which enter our lives and seem to lead us and cheer us on as we find that way.  For me, and I know I speak for so many others, Floyd was one of those people.
 
To say he will be missed is an understatement, but I will only miss the earth suit he wore.  I expect to see Floyd in other forms, just as Jesus came in so may forms after his death and resurrection.  They never really recognized him by sight, but by the voice.  I will be listening for Floyd's voice everywhere I go.  In the quiet moments of meditation, when listening to the ocean, hearing the sweet song of a bird, the chatter of a small child, and in the whispers of the wind.  I know Floyd has not left us.  Maybe we can't see him any longer as the Floyd we knew and loved, but his Spirit lives on and if I know Floyd, that Spirit will be finding opportunity to express itself....... and when it does....    I'll be listening........... will you?
 
With Love and Great Appreciation For My Precious Friend Floyd Watson

One White Dove's Tribute
Feb. 26, 2007

Thanks so much for contacting me to let me know about Floyd...
 
About a month ago, I had a strong feeling Floyd would be crossing over soon, so I e-mailed him to say hello and thank him once again for the time we had shared together.  He wrote a very sweet response and shared with me about the lovely place his brother had prepared for him in Washington, NC, his home town.  It was really a beautiful interaction between us and I had a feeling it might be the last time we corresponded here on this plane.  
 
A really strong, sad feeling came over me while I was working in the garden today... when I checked my e-mail I knew instantly I had felt the "bitter-sweet" wake of Floyd's new journey.  I am so thankful he was comfortable in his passing...I can see him in his room there by the Pamlico River...it was one of his favorite places in this world and he wrote to me that his room at his brother's was on the second floor overlooking the water. 
 
I know Floyd will be missed by many.  I told him how much it meant to me that we had touched so many lives together and helped many people across America to connect.  I am thankful for the fellowship, the fun and the deep truths we shared...I am blessed that part of my journey in this River of Life was shared with the beautiful spirit we knew here for awhile as Floyd...
 
Thank you, my friend
For sharing my life
How precious you are
And how sweet is your light...
 
Love,
Mary Lou


Thank you, John.  I am honored to be a part of the tribute to Floyd.  As one who knew him well, I can say this, that his heart was always to bless.  The other thing that one can only share among close friends is that he sure knew how to make a party!  He was surely one of the great liberators of our time and I am so glad I know him!  He stopped by to visit me in spirit a little while ago...what a sweetie he is.  I don't have any photos here with me to share, but there are so many pictures in my mind of our travels together.  Thanks again for creating the site for him...it is such a thoughtful thing to do!
 
Flowing always in Love, Light & Heaven with you,
Mary Lou
