Can you and ByGrace describe what you saw?
I find this very interesting, I worked in the Medical field for 23 years, seen and heard allot from those patients!
I have shared it on this Site a couple of times..so hope no one is bored :)
The night my dad died ( I had been looking after him at home, he did not want to go into hospital) We knew that he would go sometime that week, the doctor had told us that.
We put to bed at 8 pm. At 9pm I walked passed his open door and he was gasping his way through Psalm 86. He was amazing.
At 10pm after checking on him again I fell into bed, so tired and worn out after weeks of looking after him. ( he was 90..heart failure)
When I lay in bed worn out I said " Lord please look after him and let me sleep for a few hours ."
With my eyes
closed in the pitch dark, I "saw" 4 angels in our bedroom. two my side and two by Dave's. Then there was just a "knowing".
I
knew that if I opened my eyes I would actually see them with the naked eye.
So I did, I sat up and there they where standing right where I saw them in vision.
Then I thought..."Wow if we have 4 in our room, I wonder how many my dad has in his. I sat up and tried to see into dad's room...all I could see what a bright white mist. It was almost as if God was saying " Mind your own business".
Then I just fell back on the pillow saying " Thank you Lord, I can rest, the angels are here tending to dad. ( Dave did not wake up)
Two hours later I woke...I "knew" dad was gone. The house just felt so empty.
I got up and went into his room, and yes he had gone.
I woke Dave and asked him to come and check him too, just to be sure before I turned off the oxygen.
I kissed my dad and said " Dad, you have done what I haven't done yet...you have gone through the valley of the shadow of death, and you are out on the other side!" Then I raised my hands and danced around his bedroom.
I knew that he was happy and free.
I did say to Dave while we waited for the funeral people to come and take him. " Oh darn, what a missed opportunity, I had four angles in the room and I never asked them any questions!! " I was so annoyed with myself.
But Dave said..."If you were supposed to talk to them or they to you, you would have 'know' that...they were here for dad, not for us."
That made sense and it gave me peace...I knew I had not "missed" anything that I was supposed to do. :)
Many many years ago a friend of mine told me that she walked into her mothers room in a hospital and she too saw two angels standing by her mothers bed.
She also , had the assurance that they had come to escort her mother Home.
After dad passed, a couple of nights later I had a vivid dream.
Dad walked into the living room..alive and strong. In the dream I was shoked to see him.
He sat next to me on the couch for a few moments, then he kind of slapped my thigh and said..well I can't sit here with you, I am far too busy, I things to do and people to greet, so I'm off now.
That gave me a real blessing and peace. :)
As you know, I don't believe anyone has made it to the Heaven of Heavens yet ( save Jesus) ...but I have assurance that God's people are somewhere Lovely and happy...until that time.
