Hi all.  As most of you know, my father was killed last year in a motor
cycle accident.  Also... as most of you know i was struggling with peace
about seeing him again.  Now for the story.

Last weekend i went to my moms as i often do and i was told this happened.
My nephew, who is 2... and who only knew my dad for a year.  My brother was
trying to get him to sleep and so he drove around... that usually works.
anyway, Joey... my nephew started waving... and looking out the window and
saying "I miss you..." "I love you!..." over and over.  Well my brother...
thinking he was talking to him responded.  Joey kept shaking his head and
saying "no daddy."  Josh got kind of confused so he asked him what he was
talking about.  Joey said... "sh'h'h'h... I'm talking to Papa!".  Tha'ts
what he used to call my dad.  So Josh was kind of floored... and asked where
Papa was.  Joey said, "With Jesus."  NOw mind you... I am the only true
Christian in my immediate family and my brother just doesn't teach him about
Jesus.  So, Josh asked Joey what papa was doing... and Joey said, "Him and
Jesus are smiling at me."

what do i think of this?  Do i hold on to it and run... holding on to that
promise?  Di think it all a fluke?  I don't want to... my dad wasn't the
best Christian... didn't live the Christian life... walked away from God
after the military... but... the morning he died i woke up with such an
uneasy feeling so i prayed.  I rebuked death... no i'm not going to go their
about asking y he still died... but could God have still heard my prayers?
Is it possible for someone to turn back to Christ seconds before an accident
or whatever?

If this wasn't God could it have been satan trying to play with my and my
familys minds?  If it is God i thank HIM for giving me this promise and i
look forward to seeing my Daddy again!
Jenifer Barr.
Waiting for HIS soon return!
