She Is Now Absent From Body Which Means She Is Present With Christ.

No sooner did I write about the subject I wrote about earlier today and this very evening I faced reality that someone that was near and dear to me is now in heaven walking on the streets of gold. This person was a true woman of God that had immeasurable faith in God. Let me share with you what happened today after I wrote this morning. I began to get ready for work at approximately 11:35 AM and while I was getting ready I began to cry and I sensed that she was with God. The tears I cried were for my sadness of missing her on earth but I knew she was with Jesus in heaven. I was OK and then it happened to me again a second time, I cried and the same sense came inside of me, sad that she was gone but happy that she was with Jesus. I left for work and I received a text from my son letting me know she died. I received the text a little past 1 PM. It comes to be that she died a bit before 12:30PM. Before I knew the time I texted back my son and told him I knew it and shared with him what happened to me earlier. I believe my last words were to the effect God does speak to people.
As much as we rejoice in knowing a Christian is in heaven when they breathe their last breath there still is a bit of sadness inside of you because you love this person and you will miss them dearly. I know she is now a part of the cloud of witnesses cheering us and me on now, but I still grieve and ache for the loss of a dear person that we deeply loved and she loved us back. She adored my children and they loved her also. My mind is saying she is in heaven but my heart is saying I want to hug her again and tell her how much we love her. I just saw her a little over a week ago and I was able to tell her all of those things then.
Now, if you know anything about me by now you know that I will see the sunshine in this story. Indeed I do because I may be blessed to see my daughter in the next few days. A visit that was not planned per say. Another opportunity to wrap my arms around her and tell her how much I love her. I think I did tell you before that she always has and still does give me the bestest (I know it is probably not a proper word but that is how I feel) bear hugs when she hugs me. If you have children go and hug them now or if it is not possible to do it this very minute then give them really big hugs the next opportunity you have OK. Even a brief text message telling them you love them and that they are the best thing that ever happened in your life, the very day they were born into your family. If they are already asleep now, what a wonderful surprise it would be for them to wake up and see that text message awaiting them to start off their day.
