Your mention of your fathers anxiousness before death touched me…I will pray for his soul (as well as your mothers). I am glad you found your way “home”!
Dear Ones,
I am eternally grateful for your prayers. My relationship with both of my parents has continued since they passed away. It wasn’t always like this. You see, when my father died on March 26, 1987, I did not know God, and the sense of loss almost destroyed me. I just didn’t believe I would ever see my father again.
Shortly after my mother died, I had an experience that will take my breath away for the rest of my life. There was an issue deep in my heart, that I wished I could discuss with her. One morning, I experienced a visit with my mother. It wasn’t a dream, it was a visit. Without words, my mother conveyed that the thoughts I was holding onto, were of this world, and not important in her world. Although I didn’t need it, I was given even more evidence that her soul was at peace. That very day, I began praying for my father’s soul.
I believe that God is love, and I know He comes to me during difficult times. My mother’s spirit also comes to me when I am in need of encouragment and comfort, (and in times of great joy), but I’ve always thought that it’s just God, using the memory of my mother to reach out to me. It really doesn’t matter, how it works. It only matters that it happens.
I bring it up though, because during this past year, my father’s spirit has been constantly with me. It’s like my mom is on a holiday. These amazing experiences make me trust that my father’s soul has finally arrived at a much better place. It gives me such hope.
For those who know and love the Lord, death’s parting is only temporary.
My husband and I don’t have children of our own, but we have a very special goddaughter. The story is too long to tell, but something very special is about to happen to her. We have been praying and praying for her. A few weeks ago, things took a turn for the worse and it seemed impossible. She was devasted, and asked her mother to call me. “Chochy will know what to.” she said. All I did was pray harder. It’s going to happen - on March 26th.
Blessings - Chochy
However, maybe you could make it a multiple choice poll? You know, where you can choose more than one option? However, this is an interesting and valuable thread!
