As I mentioned here we had to head out Saturday for a funeral. It was yesterday at 15:00 in Milledgeville. The service was nice, if a bit generic. But during that service I was struck with a vision that was so comforting and “real” that I’m not going to call it coincidence. I believe that God can and does speak directly to people, if only they are willing to listen. I think He spoke to me yesterday.
So the minister was speaking and he said “The God of Love was there when she was born, and that same God was there when she died.” It was at that precise moment that I saw, in my mind, Lena (my wife’s grandmother, who was 87) lying in her bed, asleep. Peaceful. Seated in a chair next to her was Jesus, the Christ himself, holding her hand and whispering sweet words in her ear. “Fear not. I am with you.” The vision then switched to my grandfather (who died last year and would have been 88 yesterday). It was the same scenario, but the rooms had changed. He was lying in his bed, asleep and peaceful. With Christ holding his hand and whispering to him.
Some people won’t believe me. Some will say it was just wishful thinking. I disagree with both.
Hey Joey:
I got to your blog because I was searching for a way to upload pictures from iPhoto to a blog I just started. I’m still stuck, but as I am the master procrastinator, I liked reading your “faith” stuff instead of fixing my problem!
This vision you had is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing it.
