Was sent to me a little while ago....thought you'd all need this encouraging news of hope...
>When I ' woke up ' this morning, I didn't groan or creak As I reached
>out to the nightstand, my spectacles to seek.
>I couldn't feel their framework; and much to my surprise, I saw the
>room quite clearly when I opened up my eyes!
>I noticed when I showered that I moved a little quicker, Then when I
>went to wash my hair, it seemed a little thicker!
>I went to get my dentures to set them on my gums, But there were teeth
>already there! Now where did they come from?
>Although my hearing aids weren't in, I heard the doorbell ring!
>When I went to answer it, I saw the greatest thing...
>Why there were friends and family all standing around my door- They all
>looked so happy, we hugged and hugged some more!
>The tears were flowing freely, so happy were we all, Then they began to
>fill me in on things I can't recall.
>They tell me that I died way back in 1998 That I've just been asleep
>since then,On the resurrection to await!
>I'm eager for them to tell me about Armageddon's War, How Jesus won the
>victory, and what happened just before!
>We sing Jehovah's praises, we laugh and talk 'til dark, They tell me
>'bout the progress to turn the earth back to a park.
>'How long from when I died' I ask, did that old system end?
>'How far along is the thousand years'? And 'What about my friend?'
>They tell me names of some I knew, who died so faithfully, Then they
>mention briefly some we will never see!
>Some names do not surprise me, some names are quite a shock!
>I'm just so glad that I am here as one of Jesus' flock!
