I wanted to share a vision I had in 1974 during a dream. My father had recently died very suddenly, and I was only 18, a new believer in Christ. I was having n ightmares nightly and finally I asked God in prayer to please give me peace about my father and to please say “goodbye” for me. That very same night I had a dream that was unlike any dream I have ever had – it was a vision and an answer from God. I was on a hill top and standing with me was a very very tall being–I believe it was an angel. This angel and I were looking over the most beautiful valley–vivid colors, flowers, grass, meadows, hills, it went on what seemed like far, far in the distance. I felt we were on the outskirts of a very special place. The angel did not speak to me in audible words, but spoke to me in a kind of understanding type of language–I understood that I was standing outside of heaven….at the beautiful lands just outside the gate (although I never saw any gate….I think we were too far away. I understood from the angel that I was not to take any steps forward, but that he was showing me this to tell me that my father was there, and he was with God and that my message to my father had been delivered, and there was peace, forgiveness and hope. I felt so loved, so at peace in that moment, at that place. I also understood that this angel knew me very well, that he was an old friend—perhaps my guardian angel (someday I will find out). We lingered there for a short while and I awoke. I never had nightmares about my father again and I know someday we will be all together in heaven which is a very real place.
