"The woman who saw Jesus"

01-31-2007

Today I met a 73 year old woman named Mildred. She told me her story of when she was a child and had polio. She told of how she had actually died as a child and went to heaven and met Jesus, "the most handsomest man I have ever met" she says. When she met Jesus, he had told her to never take her eyes off him as long as she lived.

She said Jesus then twirled her around - spinning her while holding her hands and then she described to me what she saw there. She described fields and fields of the most beautiful wildflowers and grass that was a perfect blue-green and not a single thorn or weed or thistle to be found. There was a city made of crystal as high as the eye could see without normal doors or windows.

There was a mountain there as well, with trees, and a river that was so crystal clear you could see every stone at the bottom. She said that it tasted as sweet as honey.

"I would never deny him" she said. She wept when Jesus told her she had to go back, "but remember this", he said, "never take your eyes off me."

Mildred had danced while I played hymns for them and I am sure that she was a delight for the nurses and staff. She sang with all her heart and I know that to Jesus she sounded beautiful.

Thanks for listening,
