Eve, it's probably a *bad reception* on my part!

Oh Sue, that made me feel so good to hear about the Lord putting his hand on you while you slept, leaving the mark to last so you would KNOW, how comforting and how wonderful to know his abiding love AND support of us.  I never heard that story before!!!  I am sure it's comforted you many a time over the years since, just knowing you're not alone and he will come when called.  I firmly believe that, even in our darkest most despairing hours, we are not going through it by ourself, that our hurts....are his hurts, too.  Same with our joys and triumphs, also.

It makes me want to share something else.  One time when I was talking with him I asked him to please tell me how he felt about me.  He said I will SHOW you!  And instantly above my head there appeared this brilliant gold light which looked like a miniature sun, it had a solid center which was pulsing, and it had rays of gold light streaming out of it, and I felt such love like I've never felt in my life before or after, I just felt pure love and purely loved!  It was night, and the sky was clear, and I was walking Tosha I believe when it happened, but she didn't appear to see anything unusual.  It just popped into the sky approximately 100 feet above my head, and pulsed and strobed and loved, and then just as suddenly it disappeared from sight without moving!  I almost dropped to the ground from being overwhelmed with feelings, seeing that Golden Light.
