My Experience

Some background:

My grandmother and I didn't really have much contact in life due to Family situations beyond my control or comprehension (call it a Family Feud that goes on to this day). Well she passed away when I was 16 and I went to see her while she was in the hospital a week before she died. It took 7 heart attacks in one week until she passed on. We went to her funeral and all that and I didn't have anything to say about it--because I didn't know her all that well--only what I was told and that wasn't a whole heck of alot. I didn't know that I when I was being watched by her when I was a small baby, somehow I was found in the middle of the street in front of her house. So to the main story...........

Three days after the funeral--I had an experience with her-- it wasn't a dream. She came to me and took me to a street lined with the most beautiful trees that covered the street like a canopy. The trees had yellow flowers all over them (and here is the color yellow again). We talked forever --it seemed like hours.

She told me that she wanted to really get to know me before going away but wasn't able to in this life. I heard that she also came to her youngest son------but when I asked him about this years later he denied it. He is a devout Welsh Baptist and I think they told him he was just dreaming and he just forgot about it. So this was just not my experience but someone else's too that was in the family.

Oh, We didn't have bodies like we do in the life stage here on the Earth----it was more like telepathy. It was also like she was never old like here on Earth. Where we go after the Physical body is no longer useful to us -there is no getting old--we are all the same age.............and I have heard that it is like the age of 35 ---but then the question comes up--how did we get to that age? It also comes to me that when our bodies become unusable we don't just cease to exist.....there are other things we do without a body-and it is awareness and consciousness and thought and movement and life --not death like we never do anything or wait until the next body and there is nothingness----we are continuous.............just maybe that is what we talked about for hours and hours.

It was a wonderful experience that I will never forget. I hold it special to my heart and this is how I remember her--even if others do not. I know that she loved me and even if I don't remember her in this life I will always love her too.

I do not believe the dead come back to visit. The Bible specifically states to stay away from that kind of thing. Its called soothsaying and I would avoid it. I hope you know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord a Savior. Read the Bible.

Thak You Oevery.

Casi,  You better read it again and then go to the dictioary and read what that is.  Prophets are soothsayers because it is predicting the furture and has nothing to do with my experience.  Get to know that Bible of yours a bit better.

It isn't nice to assume things you don't have any idea of---Jesus IS my lord and savior, thank you.

I still believe that your Grandmother and all of our loved ones that have departed are infact somewher near us. We are just unable to feel there presense. And like RVilleneuve, I am envious too. Thankyou for sharing such a personal and wonderful experience.

"...call it a Family Feud that goes on to this day.." Sigh, when will the Hatfields and McCoy's of the world give into love? ;)

I, too, recently had a grandfather passed. I knew he did, I had a dream the night before my father came to tell me about the whole situation.

This is just one motivation that got me to reconnect with my parents so much as I have in these last few months. I missed them.

Well I am still stuck in that fued. Some family members are afraid that I am telling other family members thing they don't want them to know and some of my family respect me so much that htye don't tell anyone that I do talk to them on occasion. This makes it really difficult when I am the one who is doing the genealogy. I feel like I am a tennis net. I have that family line on a hub page. My Lewis Geneology.

Don't worry, your doing God's work. It takes strength to try and mend wounds.

I wish I could disspell that feud. One day at a time and who knows what is working in the background.

Hopefully hot chocolate. Hot chocolate soothes all souls. ;)

Hmmm...if only there was an old school episode of a television sitcom you could make everyone watch and click with..or something..maybe bowling?

Sigh. Hate is such a menace.

Talking to dead people is abomination to God. People do not end well doing this.

This was not called for and you know what.... I didn't go and do this on purpose...she came to me.......Whateva!

John 20:29-31 (Young's Literal Translation)

29Jesus saith to him, `Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed; happy those not having seen, and having believed.'

30Many indeed, therefore, other signs also did Jesus before his disciples, that are not written in this book;

31and these have been written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life in

What does 1 Corinthians 12- the end of the chapter say in Your book?

1 Corinthians 12 (Young's Literal Translation)1 Corinthians 12

1And concerning the spiritual things, brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant; 2ye have known that ye were nations, unto the dumb idols -- as ye were led -- being carried away; 3wherefore, I give you to understand that no one, in the Spirit of God speaking, saith Jesus [is] anathema, and no one is able to say Jesus [is] Lord, except in the Holy Spirit.

4And there are diversities of gifts, and the same Spirit; 5and there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord; 6and there are diversities of workings, and it is the same God -- who is working the all in all.

7And to each hath been given the manifestation of the Spirit for profit; 8for to one through the Spirit hath been given a word of wisdom, and to another a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; 9and to another faith in the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings in the same Spirit; 10and to another in-workings of mighty deeds; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; and to another [divers] kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues: 11and all these doth work the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each severally as he intendeth.

12For, even as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the one body, being many, are one body, so also [is] the Christ, 13for also in one Spirit we all to one body were baptized, whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or freemen, and all into one Spirit were made to drink, 14for also the body is not one member, but many; 15if the foot may say, `Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body;' it is not, because of this, not of the body; 16and if the ear may say, `Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body;' it is not, because of this, not of the body?

17If the whole body [were] an eye, where the hearing? if the whole hearing, where the smelling?

18and now, God did set the members each one of them in the body, according as He willed, 19and if all were one member, where the body?

20and now, indeed, [are] many members, and one body; 21and an eye is not able to say to the hand, `I have no need of thee;' nor again the head to the feet, `I have no need of you.'

22But much more the members of the body which seem to be more infirm are necessary, 23and those that we think to be less honourable of the body, around these we put more abundant honour, and our unseemly things have seemliness more abundant, 24and our seemly things have no need; but God did temper the body together, to the lacking part having given more abundant honour,

25that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same anxiety for one another, 26and whether one member doth suffer, suffer with [it] do all the members, or one member is glorified, rejoice with [it] do all the members; 27and ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 28And some, indeed, did God set in the assembly, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, afterwards powers, afterwards gifts of healings, helpings, governings, divers kinds of tongues; 29[are] all apostles? [are] all prophets? [are] all teachers? [are] all powers?

30have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?

31and desire earnestly the better gifts; and yet a far excelling way do I shew to you:
