My Time
I met God this morning and looked upon His face. For I had crossed the finish line �?I had won the race. He whispered, “Welcome home my child, this is your place of rest,�?I felt His gentle arms around me �?as He held me to His chest. “Your loved ones will come join you,�?He said, “Though it may be a while.�? “But, I didn’t won’t to leave them.�?I cried, “My daughter is just a child.�? “My husband, he still needs me too.�?My tears were falling down. “Who will take care of him, since I want be around?�?BR>
“Oh God, my precious grandson’s, you know that I have three.�? I pleaded, “Please heal the hurt they’re feeling - they’re already missing me.�? “Could I please go back to them, I won’t to stop their pain, and then when they are older �?I could return to You again?�? God didn’t answer me right away, just held me and smiled. I continued to reason with Him �?as if I were a child.
“My daughter, she’s an angel �?has been since her birth, has never caused anyone heartache, not even when she was hurt.�? “And God did I ever Thank You �?for giving her to me? Just having her to love, has made my life complete.�? “You know that she’s a nurse now, and a mother of three. Thank You God for being with her, the day she was set free. I tried my best to comfort her; I couldn’t kiss the pain away. It wasn’t like the boo-boo’s, all I could do was pray.�?
By now, we are walking hand in hand, down by the Crystal Sea. Then He said, “I was right there with her - just like I said I’d be.�?BR>Smiling I replied, “I know You were,�?as happy memories came into view. Showing off her ring - she says, “Oh Mom, he loves my three boys�?too.�?BR>
“But God consider my husband �?whatever will he do?�? “He is going to be grandpa again �?and this time, You gave him two.�? At this plea, God released my hand, and stepped back a pace. Then just as He smiled, I awoke �?with a big smile on my face.
I got out of bed, crossed the room, with a sleepy head. My heart sank as I heard the news - “Columbia is gone, seven people aboard are dead.�? Feeling their grief, I began to pray for all the families. I ask God just to comfort them, like He did me - in my dream.
