I just finished walking again today and I just had to share this picture with you. It's not the best quality picture since it was taken with my camera phone but it captured what I was thinking. You cannot see what I wanted you to see, there were streams of light peeking through the clouds. I just love when I see that. I usually think to myself when the streams of light burst forth that that must be an area where God is spreading His grace. I know it is just a thought and my thought at that but I still thank God that He is spreading His grace on that region where the light shines forth.
When I was in college and I would see the very same scene back then I would often think that it was my deceased brother looking down upon me and letting me know everything was OK. Isn't it funny how your thoughts and ideas change each time you go through something and as your faith/knowledge grows. Many years ago there was someone I knew that died of AIDS. I want you to know that it is not a pleasant way to die, if there is such a thing as a pleasant way to die. This person just wanted to come home to die. They did that very thing. I will not dwell on the unpleasantness of this death but I will share an experience with you that happened. Back then I was on fire for the Lord and had faith galore. You know how it is when everything you read or hear about being preached you just have faith to believe. That is sort of how I was then. As we would converse we had a particular conversation and it went something like this. We agreed that when they died if they went to heaven they would blow into my ear one day to let me know that they were there. I chuckled about it and actually said it had to be in my certain ear. Do I remember what ear that was today? No. I suppose I could look it up in one of my journals but not today. I would attend a church that was in the thick of revival and Holy Spirit was moving there in a mighty way. I was there for an evening service and no one was standing around me or even behind me and I felt as if there was someone blowing into the very ear that we agreed upon. It was not some faint blow either, I looked around to see who was blowing in my ear no one was there. I just knew that this person was in heaven. You may say 'Oh that's silly.' It was so specific with precision that I know it was an angel that was sent to let me know. Angels are very real but you have to be open to the possibility of entertaining angels amongst you. Have you ever experienced this before? When the time is right and your faith needs lifting and the situation is set for you that is when you will experience it. Remember when you do, do not worship them for they are servants just like us and we serve together to fulfill the work of God.
Rest with peace in your heart. Peace, peace, peace I speak.
Before I conclude I just had to look up in my journal the exacts on the story with this person. "I asked him that whomever died first between the two of us we had to let the other know if heaven is truly as beautiful and peaceful as I described to him. If I was to go first I needed to help him get to Eden and he felt that he was not as spiritually advanced as my deceased brother was or myself. He suggested something ever beautiful...he will blow into my left ear. I will definitely know it is him for he will do it on a day when there is little wind. I asked what ear and I told him that I hear my words when I receive them for writing that come forth through my right ear. We agreed upon him blowing into my left ear. He also told me that he would help me and have beautiful flowers grow in my garden. When I left I told him I would pray my rosary for him and friends of mine were praying for him in Vermilion (you see I did not live there yet.) I then went to the chapel and said a brief prayer and then I was guided to the beach by the water with a beautiful sunset. I prayed for his peace. 'His peace is here' is what I heard then. After the sunset the sky looked like it was painted and the clouds on the horizon looked like mountains." This took place in 1995. You see, how clever, there is no wind in a church so how appropriate for it to take place there right?
