…a belief held by differing cultures across time.
*”the concept that an essential part of an individual's identity or the stream of consciousness continues to manifest after the death of the physical body…
*The essential aspect of the individual that lives on after death may be some partial element, or the entire soul or spirit, of an individual, which carries with it and may confer personal identity…
*An afterlife, which may be naturalistic or supernatural.
*Some believe in an afterlife without reference to a diety.”
*Although raised Christian in mainline denominations, I realize there are other beliefs, but I’ll leave those discussions, to more experienced others, in a different forum.
*Through personal experience and reading, I’ve learned we sometimes receive a sign from the one who just died, that they are at peace. This can happen anytime but usually within the first three days or first week after passing..
*1st EXPERIENCE:
When my father, who only attended services on Easter Sunday, died, I asked God for a sign to tell me if father was with Him. A while later, I called the funeral home. Over the BUSY signal was one lone trumpet playing, “When the Saints Go Marching In.” My father’s favorite song. The one he would dance my mother around the room to. I was shocked. After listening carefully for awhile, I hung up.
*Knowing the song, and being a doubting “Thomas”, I prayed again: “If Dad is REALLY in heaven with you, please do it again.” I redialed. Over the busy signal was one lone trumpet playing, “When the Saints Go Marching In”.
*I hung up the phone. I redialed – the call went straight thorough. My prayer had been answered. That event has never happened again.
(Dad came to me in a dream once, but that is a different type of story.)
*I’ll share a different experience another time.
*Feel free to share your experience(s). I know some of you have had them. Sharing such loving experiences helps give others hope.
*There is no room for condemnation here.
May you experience something beautiful today to lift your spirit.
May blessings abound. B.![Cool :cool: :cool:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
