Barbara M. Pickens

As I opened my eyes, the snow started to fall. The magnificent beauty I just stared in awe. The silence was deafening, no sound to be heard. My mind had no thoughts, my mouth had no words. My eyes both could see, but they could not define not one single shape or object of kind. The light was so bright, but pleasing to see. The warmth that I felt was as warm as could be. I know not where I am or where I will go, but something is pulling and it’s not pulling slow. The speed is increasing, the feeling intense. What’s happening to me, this doesn’t make sense. Then all at once to my eyes with fear. I was in the presence and of whom it was clear for God the Almighty was gazing at me. His arms opened wide His Son by his knee. He said in a voice that I recognized. Welcome to thy Kingdom – I then realized that I was in Heaven, all truth to be known another lost sheep has found its way home.
