A SIGN AND A WONDER

   Days before this picture was taken, my mother was inspired to share a message from the Lord before the gathering of believers at our church, it wasn't uncommon for someone to stand before the congregation and share a message or a testimony about something the Lord had done for them. She shared the message only to find that some of those present that day were saying that the message was not from the Lord. She was surprised and devastated that the message she was inspired to share was rejected.

   The following day she wandered through the woodland near our home, she was literally in tears crying to the Lord, telling Him "They did not believe that you spoke to me", She was asking the Lord to give her a sign to show that He had certainly given her a message.

   That night she had a very vivid dream, during the dream she was again asking the Lord for a sign, she recalled walking out of her bedroom, down the stairs, and then proceeded to walk outside thru the back door, she looked up to the sky and saw a very bright light and exclaimed "Oh Lord", the rays from the bright light streamed down towards her touching her heart, the light was so powerful that it was pushing her backwards toward the ground, then as she fell backwards the Lord said,  "You asked me for a sign, and I Am going to give it to you, get your camera ready and when you see this light again, I will show you the sign" The dream ended.

   Every day afterwards, she would walk out the back door of the house looking for the bright light that she had seen in the dream. Suddenly one day close to evening she saw the light, she quickly grabbed the camera that she had prepared with a new roll of film like she was told to do in the dream. She was not told what the sign was going to be, so she began taking random pictures until the roll of film was completely used up.

   A couple of days later the roll of film in the camera was developed, eagerly my mother looked at the pictures however she became very disappointed when she didn't see anything unusual, no sign, nothing, sadly she put the pictures away in a cabinet drawer.

   Meanwhile her father had become very ill in Philadelphia, so she had to take a quick trip to see him, while she was away from home my sister found the envelope of pictures and took them to her room to look at them, she couldn't believe how many meaningless pictures my mother had taken, pictures of clouds, treetops, the edge of the roof gables, then suddenly one of the pictures got her attention she could clearly see the eyes, she immediately felt chills and ran out of the room, my father happened to be talking with mom on the phone, she grabbed the phone ....."Mom did you see the eyes!" ...."What eyes" said mom, .... "The eyes in the picture you took" .... "I knew there had to be something in the pictures," said mom. 

MORE TO COME.
