I hate it when that happens! Maybe next time! TR Yes, back in 1980 I heard the trumpet blown. I was doing homework in my bedroom and jumped up and my first thought was “yes! this is it and I don’t have to study any more for this test!” :yahoo: I quickly left my bedroom to see if my family heard it too. They did ... and we were wondering why we weren’t flying upward. Then there was a pause and then the trumpet started up again. By this time we realized the noise wasn’t coming upward but from next door. Apparently the neighbor’s son was taking trumpet lessons and she told him to open up his bedroom window because he was given her a headache. He even took the screen off as he leaned out his window. His bedroom was directly across from mine and our homes weren’t that far apart - (we are talking like 4 cars parked was the distance). They were also Christians so we called her up to tell her what happened. She was laughing her head off and didn’t give it a thought we would react that way. Fortunately her son gave up the horn lessons for the piano. B-) Oh yes! That has happened a few times, you get this incredible feeling of a shear moment of complete silence, your head tilts to one side to listen, your heart skips a beat, you hold your breath, look up and find yourself listening intently with total expectation... then you realize, it was not the trumpet, you are not seeing grandma fly up and you aren’t going upward either .... total, wishfulness and longing replace the momentary feeling of expectation and joy! On another occasion I was awakened in the night and felt this odd sense to listen intently, again a brief far away sound and that same feeling as before, nada! The 17th of September is my guess! Exactly 30 days from now! Then I'll be looking up! Hopefully for not too long. It could happen, that's what I'll keep telling myself! TR
Have you ever been so much in deep prayer, that you felt, if you listened hard enough, you could almost hear heaven? Then some noise disrupts that feeling of listening, longing, and perfect peace, it’s like you stepped to the very edge of eternity for just a brief moment and then it’s gone, just beyond your grasp. I get so excited at times and so tearful with longing, that my soul just cries Abba, can it be now? :prayer-hands: What an awesome Father we have to give us a taste at times of His glorious self.... soon! :prayer-hands: :flyup:
