Soldier from Heaven (9781629021911)

by Thomann, Christine

  I see my love in the distance coming towards me out of the most beautiful light I have ever seen. The glistening lights of Heaven are creating a path for me. He’s here now, my sweet Peter, looking just as he did the day that he left me.

  “I’m so happy to see you, my dear. I’ve missed you so. You are here to take me aren’t you?”

  “Yes, Catherine, it’s time.”

  I can finally touch my beloved again, and he’s taking my hand in his. I’m leaving my old, weak body behind and see my soft, young hand in Pete’s. We are young and beautiful and going home together.

  As I am carried away into the arms of Heaven’s shining light, the faces of my children appear before me. But I am not sad. I know I am going home. And I know that soon, very soon, my beautiful angels will join us in God’s Eden. I can wait. I can wait.

  Now I know what it feels like to be in the everlasting happiness and glory of our Lord. I know how much I am leaving behind on Earth, but somehow it doesn’t seem to matter. I’m not sad. Those are but earthly things. And I know this same happiness is promised to my sweet children as well. And whatever sadness they may now feel will disappear when they reach this eternal light. Jesus will help them through the tough times on Earth. Perhaps he will allow me to watch over them when they need me. Either way, there is nothing to fear anymore. No, I have seen the glory of God. I am once again walking off into the sunset with my soldier from Heaven.
