My Heavenly Journey, Pt. Ii
Part II
I thought of Jesus’ Ascension into Heaven and the Passover. There were
beautiful fields of green clover. I was so amazed. Was I loosing my mind? There were
animals running free, of every kind. Even lions, tigers and bears! The sight of them
gave me quite a scare. My guide smiled, sensing my fear. He said, “No worries- no meat-
eating animals here.”
There were no “houses”, but many mansions of great size. As Jesus promised,
this was surely paradise! I was just in awe. Especially when there, with flowing black
hair, stood my Grandma! There was so much joy on her face. I ran into her warm
embrace. She wiped my tears. Her voice was music to my ears. She said, “Don’t fear
eternity. When you time comes, I want you here with me!” I smiled and shook my head.
She kissed my cheek and walked on ahead. Oh, how bad I wanted to stay - right then. But,
I knew my own journey had just begun. I knew I would see this magnificent place again.
This memorable journey reminded me of my sins.
I knew I had to look deep inside me. Suddenly, I was back to earth, inside my
body. I had a burning desire to now focus on my spirituality; If I was to one day make
that Heavenly Journey!!
