Musical Chairs

Musical Chairs- Introduction

The train made more noise than ever as it went by overhead! I found a place to yell and scream out the things I was upset about and all the wrongs done to me. The place was in between very large timbers that made a bridge for the train to go over a lake channel. I was feeling great after yelling and screaming all the bad things that happened to me. After the train passed, I was climbing down from the railroad bridge or ‘trestle’. As I climbed out from inside the large timbers, I twisted my body to get out of the small opening. For a second, I let go of the timber with my left hand and tried to reach it with my right hand as I straightened up, but my right hand never touched the timber and I fell backwards, head first.

The timber I was on was about 10-15 feet off the ground.

I saw the rocks below and readied myself for impact! At first I was confused when a white veil of light surrounded me. Simultaneously, I was held in place by a force that was all comforting. I struggled right away, but almost as quickly, I was okay with being held in place. At first I could see through the veil of bright white light. I could see the water and the rocks, under the car bridge, the channel going into each bay and everything was getting more blurry. After I knew I was okay, the bright white light became blindingly bright. I could no longer see anything around me or in the background, only white.

I knew I was okay, I knew I was being held, I saw the blinding white light get brighter and   brighter and then I could see only me in a scene, but the scene is real life, my life was playing in front of me!

The bright white light went away. It was replaced with better than three dimensional scenes of my life happening in front of me, one at a time. I could not change anything that happened to me, but I could move around in the scene anywhere I wanted to move too. Scene after scene played before my eyes all the way back to before my birth! It seemed to take the same amount of time to view as it did to live out each scene.

When my life was done playing before my eyes, the bright white light was present again and I was blinded by it again. I was now back in a crouched position ready to grab the timber and I did! I grabbed it and held on for dear life. I held on to the timber long enough to realize that it was too long. I climbed up to a level place and started feeling my arms and legs to make sure I was okay and not hurt. I looked around to see if anyone was watching me. I was embarrassed at first! How was I going to explain to anyone watching that I was held in mid-air by a bright white light? That the bright white light showed me my whole life in more detail than any movie available.

Then I came to my senses after a minute or so of my confusion. I looked up to where I think heaven is and thanked Our Father for sharing my life with me. I promised him I would write it all down and share it with others like he shared it with me. I promised I would serve him.

Our Father is watching and recording everything we do.

I climbed up to the deck of the bridge and walked a block home. I remembered my real Dad! I remembered he let me drive his car when I was a little boy. He would let me stand up and turn the wheel and steer the car! Our Father shared memories of my real family with me! He saved me from scratches, cuts, a sure bump on the head or worse when I fell backwards. He placed me back up to a safe place again when he was done showing me everything. Wow did I feel good!
