Before me I saw a bright light, enshrouded in heavy fog.
I walked toward the light which grew brighter and brighter.
It was dazzling, radiantly beautiful, with many varied colors.
I was drawn to the light!
It was then, as I drew closer to the light, that I heard it:
A voice out of the fog.
It said, “Come! Be not afraid.”
A warm and friendly voice.
I felt secure and calm.
I took a few more steps; the fog parted.
I saw Him!
There he was, standing on a lawn
in brilliantly glowing white garments,
smiling, with outstretched arms.
I recognized Him!
I knew where I was.
At that moment I was overjoyed!
A great sense of peace filled my heart.
What a moment in time!
What an entrance into eternity!
