:rose: Hello! I have introduced myself to a few people here but I am still very new. I am writing a small book and I need a lot of feedback from fellow Christians.
The book will be titled: Thursday Morning and is being written in loving memory of my dear mother who went to be with Jesus on June 27, 2008 after a short illness.
I am not writing this book for money. I am paying all costs and all books will be donated to local hospitals and doctor's offices, hospice agencies, family members and to anyone who asks for a copy. It is not to make money but to glorify God and Jesus! My mother loved working for the Lord and testifying for Him. I just want to continue her testimony for as long as I can.
I have shortened it and condensed it for the thread.
The experience we had was truly a blessing from our Almighty God. I will never be the same after this and I can't wait another minute to share it with as many people as I can possibly share it with.
When you finish reading this thread, please respond and tell me what you think, how you felt while or after reading it and please share it with as many other people as you can think of who will also respond to it. I have yet to share it with anybody who was not touched, blessed and or amazed.
So, grab some tissues and read the following testimony that my mother has left for you. I am still praising God for this wonderful experience. May God Bless you as you read about,,,,,,, Thursday Morning!

My mother passed away recently after a short illness. There were hundreds maybe even thousands of people praying for her and for our family. God has answered every prayer for healing by giving her perfect healing, forever. On Thursday, June 26, 2008, my mother began her journey through (we think),The Valley Of The Shadow Of Death, at about 5:00 a.m. We think this because she was telling something or someone to "get out of here" and "get away from me" using a loud and angry voice. Then, she became calm. Her voice was weak but clear and audible. The following events occurred over the course of about 4 to 6 hours. In between each event, she prayed continually, all day.
My sister and I were there with her to witness it all and as she talked to Him in our language, praising Him and thanking Him and telling Hiim she loved Him, we were praising Him too. She saw her mother and said "Hi Mamma". She saw Jesus and said, "Put your arms around me Jesus". She said," Lift me higher, lift me higher so I won't have to go back." At one point, she said, "I'm walking, I'M WALKING!!"
{My mother could barely stand and could only take a few steps without a walker. She could not stand up straight because of severe scoliosis in her back which had been a source of continuous pain for years and had recently become unbearable. } My sister and I both nearly shouted, praising God and thanking Jesus.
Then, in a voice that was both loud and as clear as a bell with very determined syllables, she spoke to God! My Mother spoke to God, in tongues!!!!!! Right there before my very eyes and ears!!!
My sister and I were both looking at one another, almost in shock, like we were in the presence of God with her!!!!! We felt like we were in the presecne of God with her and we believe that we were too! I had never been with anyone who spoke in tounges but I do know the Bible says it is a gift, so I do believe some people do it. I can't describe the feelings other than pure amazement and awe. Those words don't begin to describe how we felt but for lack of better words, I am using those two. Every feeling of heartache, feeling like I was dying with her, physical pain and nausea, left me immediately. I'm telling you, I have never in my life felt the presence of God as I felt it that day!
Mamma prayed all day for her children, for God to protect her children. She prayed for her grandchildren, she prayed for her pastor and for her church. She asked us to put a Bible on her chest and a cross on the top of the Bible (my sister did this). Mamma placed one hand on the Bible and asked, "Put this hand like this?" and left it there. In a couple of minutes, she asked, "Put the other hand (on the Bible) like this?" We, of course know she was asking Jesus. She held that Bible all day long! At one point, she said, "I don't want to go back:". Mamma praised God and we praised God with her.
That evening, she was looking around and my sister asked her if she could see Heaven, she said "yes!". As my sister asked questions, she answered that the streets were clear gold. She said the gates were pearl. She saw an angel in her room.
God turned the worst experience of my life, giving up my sweet, precious mother, into the most wonderful, most moving, most unforgettable and most spiritual experience I have ever had in my life!! Oh, how I praise Him and His Holy Name!!!! How I thank Him for giving us this experience!!! He is soooo Amazing and sooooo Powerful and sooooo, sooooo, Wonderful!!!!.
I have felt His presence many, may times but this was as never before. I had been physically sick with hurt. My heart had felt broken and I had felt like the very life was being pulled out of me, as if I were dying with Mamma... but when God came into her room and she was able to reveal everything she was seeing and doing, all of those feelings left, immediately.
I am still sad that she is gone from me, and I miss her so badly, but now, when my sister or I get to feeling like this, we just look at one another and say, "Thursday morning"!!! And our peace returns.
I knew my mother was a devout Christian and I knew where she would be when she died but I just couldn't shake the heartbreak and pain, until THURSDAY MORNING. Oh how I praise God for Thursday morning!!!
At 2:00p.m. on Sunday, June 29,, we buried my mother's body next to my step daddy, and next to her parents in our family's plot, but her spirit is in Heaven with them AND Jesus!!!! She is standing in the presence of the King and I know He has said, "Well done, my good and faithful servant" and has given her immeasurable rewards! I know she has so many stars in her crown that her head would not be able to hold it up without her new, perfect, glorified body. And because of Thursday morning, I know without a shadow of a doubt that Jesus AND Mamma are waiting for me, to take me where she and all my loved ones have gone before. WooooHoooo Hallelujah and Praise to my Almighty God!!!!!
I am greatful and I am thankful for each and every prayer that was prayed for Mamma and dfor our family. I pray God will Bless everyone who said a prayer for us. May He add yet another star in their crowns for all they have done!
