A Taste Of Heaven

Isaiah 7:14 "Therefore, the Lord Himself will give you a sign..."

Sixty six years. That is how long they were together. Never once had they been apart. She was barren so it was just the two. They never had much in the way of material items but they had it all in the way of love for I have never seen two people that loved each other so much.

When I met my sweet couple, he smiled at me through the pain of his suffering. His eyes told me of his unfolding story. One that would for the first time in his life not include his bride, for he was preparing for his homecoming.

And I looked at her; her smile was radiant and breathtaking. She had stolen my heart. If you saw her on the street, you would see a small frail woman that had poor dental care, missing teeth and sad eyes but that is not what I saw on this day. I was captivated by her beauty.

I sat with my friends on this annointed day to help get him comfortable in his dying hours. As I spoke with them both, she said, “God knew to take him first because I was the stronger of the two. He would not be able to live without me.” That is true love. And tears flowed from my eyes. Both of them comforted me, “Oh Connie, we love you.” I was overwhelmed with emotion. (I think I was suppose to be comforting them.)

In the last hours of his life, we experienced a taste of Heaven. My little man talked to the other side for two hours. He went from being coherent to no longer knowing we were around. Then he started talking and reaching for things. He said, “Oh yes, it’s beautiful. Oh precious Jesus. No not yet. Go get “R”. “R” was his little brother that had been killed when they were younger.

All during this supernatural rhythm and experience of Heaven, my precious couple danced in step with God’s spirit where she escorted her lover into the arms of his Savior.

For it was then that he took his very last breath here and his first in Heaven.

Live the supernatural.
