Bro. Rick,
Your last post reminded me so much of when my dear mother crossed over.
She had lingered with us, with the doctor and nurses not understanding how
she could have remained for the additional 11 days. Exactly the amount of
time for her one son who was not there to get back from Israel. He got to the
hospital, although she had not showed any sign of life for three days, He kissed
her, telling her it was John, went and got a shower and joined we other ten siblings.
That evening, with her large family gathered in and around her room and bedside, we
softly sang "Glad Reunion Day" and other songs. So peaceful and around midnight when
most of her family, except two sons and wives and a granddaughter who were staying
the night, she slipped away. She had been talking to Dad several days before, who had
been gone for ten years. A lady who dispensed their meds in the evening, reported her
saying, "Daddy,(that what she called my dad) I can barely see you in here, the light is
SO bright. (The room was dark except for one small night light.)
"For it is written, Eye had not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the
heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. But
God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit; yea, the Spirit searcheth all things,
yea, the deep things of God'. (
I Cor. 2:9,10)
He will finish it up in Righteousness, Bro. Rick and Sis. Lola! There will be a "Glad
Reunion Day"!
for those
that love His appearing".
