Arms Open Wide

After visiting Joanne's sister, Paulette, in the hospital in Boston last night, I said a prayer to God while walking back to my truck. I asked that God spare her life as she is much too good and too young to die. I asked Him to take me instead of her as she is a much better person than I am and is needed here by her family and friends. After sleep came to me last night I had the most vivid dream.

 What a strange dream I had last night
Was it a sign or just a dream
How would one tell the difference
And if a sign what could it mean

The message I feel coming through
Makes me as happy as can be
Heaven's time isn't far away
Lord Jesus is coming for me

Whether today or tomorrow
It is not for me to decide
 So I will stand by patiently
To see my Lord arms open wide

Oh, to be in heaven with God
Free of earthly worries and strife
The only regret that I'll have
Is leaving the kids and my wife

Can You make me an Angel, Lord
So I can be close by their side
Am I asking too much of You
Whatever You say I'll abide

Was it a sign or just a dream
There's simply no way of knowing
So until my time here is done
In Your sweet love I'll keep growing

Wonderful poem, Paul! It's so thrilling to dream about heaven! God has Paulette in His hands, as well as you. I will join you in praying for her tonight.
I think the Lord Jesus is coming for all His children soon. We can pray and strive to be faithful in following Him until that great day arrives.

Blessings,
Connie

We shall be with them on angels wings.
Great poem Paul. Nice to dream about Heaven.
Only one thing is for sure. We are closer to Heavens Door.

God Bless you!

Your brother in Christ,

Touching poem, Paul. It is never for us to decide when our work here is done, but there are times when each of us questions why some leave us and we remain.
Take care,
Sherry

Dear Paul, very nice poem, my dear friend, we are all in fact Angels. We have to find within ourselves the real prayer. Meanwile I hope that Paulette will feel good again. Love to all of you, Emile
