EARLIER IN JANUARY I HAD A DREAM I WANTED TO WRITE ABOUT. I DREAMED THAT I WAS VERY SICK AND THEN DIED. I REMEMBER FEELING FEARFUL BECAUSE I KNEW I'D BE FACING THOSE WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE ME, FEARING I HAD NOT LIVED UP TO THEIR EXPECTATIONS OF ME. PIONEER ANCESTORS
WHILE IN THIS STATE I MIGHT HAVE BEEN CLOSE TO DEATH. I AM NOT SURE. I REMEMBER ASKING THE POWER IN CHARGE IF I COULD SING OR SOMETHING. WHILE THEY WERE CONSIDERING I DREAMED THE MUSIC I WAS LISTEN TO HAD A COUPLE OF SONGS JUST FOR MY BENEFIT. ONE WAS A VIOLIN PLAYING. IN MY DREAM I REMEMBER KNOWING THAT GRANDPA VERNON PLAYED THE VIOLIN. BUT LOST HIS VIOLIN ON HIS MISSION IN THE NETHERLANDS. THE VIOLIN MUSIC WAS FROM HIM. I DON'T THINK I HAD EVER HEARD HIM ACTUALLY PLAY. WAS HIS VIOLIN STOLEN OR SOMETHING? ANYWAY THE VIOLIN WAS HIM PLAYING TO COMFORT ME AND REASSURE ME. THE OTHER MUSIC I HEARD WAS A PIANIST. THIS ONE WAS VERY FAMILIAR BECAUSE I COULD TELL IT WAS KEVIN COME TO COMFORT ME AS WELL. I WOKE UP FEELING REASSURED KNOWING OUR LOVED ONES ARE VERY NEAR AND CHEERING US ON. THERE WERE A FEW OTHERS AS WELL, PIANIST...SINGERS. GREAT DREAM, BUT I KNOW I WANT TO LIVE UP TO MY NAME. REREAD MY PATRIARCHAL BLESSING ETC.WHAT A SWEET TENDER MERCY FOR ME.

What a beautiful blog site Karen! I loved reading all your sweet experiences. It renewed my own feelings that the veil is very thin, and that the Savior is always near, ready and waiting to lift us up and comfort. Thank you for putting the RS declaration up. I love it! I used to have a bookmark I would read it from but can't find it anywhere. Now I have a better source. Thank you for sharing!
