Meeting God Part ?

Been kind of busy last few weeks after our return  from our European Vacation and having a gaggle of my daughter's cousins and girlfriends wanting to see her after not seeing her for six looonnnggg months....for them it's an eternity--for us, well it seems like a blink of an eye.  Trying to get our house back in order, getting our RV back on station at our semipermanent site at the campground plus just trying to manage all the social events we like to do in WNY and NW PA.

So have you ever met God?  Not in your prayers or looking at a cloud formation in the sky or looking at the wood grain in the door at the doctors office.  But have YOU MET GOD ONE ON ONE?  Now we all know that no one can actually see the face of God, however we can see the face of His Son the Christ Jesus who was God in human form to be seen and be "real" for us.

My time came on a cold night in January 2012 one week after having my fourth cervical fusion followed by a DVT and a Greenfield Filter placement in my IVC.  I was up walking around as per doctors orders when suddenly this cloud of doom came over me and excruciating pain starting at my toes and going up my legs into my back drove me to my knees and literally into the cement of the basement floor.  I remember seeing this hill of the greenest grass with the bluest sky imaginable....then absolute BLACKNESS.  Then this OMG bright light with a shadow below it and next to it were there and I came closer....I recognized the face of one shadow next to the light and it was my Dad who died in 1964.  The light had features but they were barely discernable but seemed to be a peaceful calm face of our Lord Jesus.

All I remember at this point is incredible peace, warmth and happiness and NO PAIN.  It was my Dad who spoke merely saying that "it's not your time son.  You have things to do yet."  Both of them turned to leave and I awoke upstairs in a pile on the floor with my one daughter screaming in my face to "WAKE UP!" and my across the street neighbors who happen to be ER Dr and nurse state that "he had a pulmonary embolism, he's lucky he woke up he'll be okay now!"  Next time I woke up i was in the ER.

Next time "What's next?"
