Good Biblical references; spiritually uplifting, as usual. Nice stream of consciousness in thoughts and deeds. We get right into the mind of the speaker. Goos narration with just the right amount of internal dialogue. Well done.

Comment from Domino
Hi, Janilou
'Of all generations, why does ours still need to see to believe?' - Because we are so elightened, I suppose. We are aware of all our advances, and yet there's still no 'proof' of an afterlife. If there is one, we best never get proof, as everyone will be leaping under buses to get there. I TRULY hope there is and admire your Faith. Excellent points put across by you here. Well said.

This is a soul ful read on faith, truth, and the love of our God. It touched me the part of the preayers, they are all heard by God, even if we think he is no listening. It gave me great comfort.

Comment from Mountainstar2
This is a very lovely detailed story told, of Gods love for us. I like what the story is about, and the way it was written too. I like the wording content and the image it puts in my mind and heart as I read it. I love the picture of the little Angel girl too...
So many times I've seen and heard these things, or some like them. I tell the families of the dear departed loved ones, "To hear and feel the things they are seeing now, is such a blessing for the family."
To know without a shadow of doubt where they are going in the afterlife is something to behold taking place.......
I liked this story, and only hope to see more of the same...

Thank you so much for the review. I have fallen way behind in answering reviews and have finally resorted to using a carbon copy answer to catch up! We have house guests and an exchange student staying with us right now. Please know I have read your review and if you made suggestions or corrections, I have considered and/or applied them. Many thanks for reading my work. It means more to me than I can ever say.
Hugs,
Jan

Comment from rama devi
This is delightful, magical and full of grace and wisdom. Why worry that it is short. Sometimes less is more and this is a powerful write. It is conveys its profound message with simplicity, clarity and sincerity. The style is suitable to the theme and I do not think it needs any ornamentation. The image in your scene described speaks volumes.
Your examples of normal invisible signals of TV and cellphone are very aptly chosen.
I can bear witness to the fact that dying is beautiful and a journey into light. (I work with the dying). In fact, I have written a poem about this very subject which you might appreciate (you do not need to review it unless you wish to). It is called "The Art of Dying".
I Very much enjoyed this piece. (peace)!
What a lovely concept.
Nice artwork too.
Warm regards,
rama devi

Comment from Robbin
I loved this story. When my Grandmother was close to death she often spoke to my mother who had passed three months earlier. She said that my mom was there waiting to take her. I enjoyed reading your story about what we can not always see being there anyway. Thanks for sharing. Robbin

Comment from ladybird
A lovely piece of writing janilou. One that's very uplifting. I loved the picture accompaning this. It is beautiful. I think while a lot of people go round with their eyes closed, not literally of course, lol. There are a lot more that can see this beautiful world of ours. If you care to read Frosty Morn, a very short observation, in my porfolio-- I don't want stars for this-- you will see my take on things.

No worries. I think He told you to write it. Somebody needed to read it.

It's a beautiful piece, Jani. I got nothin' as a critique or a criticism.

This is a lovely hymn indeed. I wonder to behold this great light of God that will be bestowed upon us when we leave the stage of drama on Earth. Beautiful and very reassuring piece my friend. Nick.
