Tuesdays question
1. If you could speak with Christ, what would you ask Him?
2. Do you have any glimpses of the spiritual world?
Okay, my answer would be that I would ask Christ how my relationship with my children will continue into the eternities....will we be neighbors, family, friends.....I would like a clear picture of what our being sealed means.
I am not a visionary, nor do I have memories of the preexistance....but after my father died he appeared to me in my sleep (I was VERY inactive) and told me he loved me and he was dressed in white clothes. I woke up (3am) and my 2 year old was sleeping next to me, and he chirps up and said, "Mommy, Papa just came and told me I'm a good boy! He said to be good for you."
So that was my vision of my father, but in a dream. I don't make it more than what it was, but I don't make light of it either. Right after that I repented and have been active since. ( 15 years)
Hi Tracey
What an awesome experience with your Father. While on my mission I was able to have my Fathers work done and during my mission I was given a blessing by my Mission Pres. and during that blessing he let me know my Dad had accepted the work done for him...my Mission Pres. didn't have a clue my Dad had passed away and I had his Temple work done for him..Heavenly Father is very kind.
Tuesdays question
1. If you could speak with Christ, what would you ask Him?
How can there be no beginning and no end?? That question puts me in a tailspin..haha
I also am very much looking forward to understanding more of what the attonement means and how it works.
2. Do you have any glimpses of the spiritual world?
Not really glimpses but certainly hopes...I don't understand all that it means to be able to be with my hubby for all eternity but I know its true if we live worthy of it. Kind of goes back to the no beginning no end thing...how can things not end..but hey I am so greatful they don't.
Great questions Tracey
Have a wonderful day everyone

1. If you could speak with Christ, what would you ask Him? I would ask him what in the preexistance made him think I am a strong enough person to live in these last days, and to give me the strength to endure
2. Do you have any glimpses of the spiritual world My dad visits me often when I am in that place between being awake and asleep. He woke me up yesterday morning after the electricity went off sometime during the night - he whispered into my ear I will always be with you, I will always love you, and you will never walk alone. I sat up and it was exactly 6:30 - the time I should have awakened. Each of my kids has also had a veil experience. My daughter flat lined after an accident that killed her dad, and she said my dad took her dad off and she got to say good bye to both of them. My other two just told me about experiences and friends on the other side when they were much younger.

Hello everyone. Here's my answers.
1. If you could speak with Christ, what would you ask Him?
Sherrie, I liked your response to this question. I don't think I would ask him anything, but I would like to feel his arms around me and feel his unconditional love. I search for that feeling now. I long for it. I feel it every once in a while, but I want to feel it for real, up front and personal.
2. Do you have any glimpses of the spiritual world?
Not really. When I have known people who have died I often feel very close with them, like I have some sort of new communication with them, but that is mostly in my own mind. I have not had any other kinds of these special experiences people have shared.
I don't know what I would ask the Savior, but I would want to know if disabilities continue into the heavens. Or if we get new bodies once we prove that we have done our best with what we had.
My daughter has had visions of my relatives coming to her asking for their temple work to be done. And most of it has been. She also told me of an experience she had in the temple, in which she came home and told me she knew the church was true!!! I have kept this private till now.

1. I would ask for a big huge HUG!!! I have these visions of that and it feels wonderful and uplifting.
2. I have no visionary experiences, But since I work in Labor and Delivery I do feel Heavenly Fathers presence while I am cleaning and looking at those precious new souls. I remember the first time I had a baby die (he was born at 22weeks and only 14 ounces!) He was absolutely perfectly formed, just too tiny to live. He lived for 3 hours. The birthmother didn't want anything to do with him. All the other nurses were busy and the nurse in charge placed him in a blanket and layed him on the counter in our dirty utility room. I was so absolutely stunned. I was due to get off work at that time, but I decided to stay. I held him and rocked him and sang primary songs to him. I don't know if he actually knew what was going on. He only barely moved once in a while. His eyes were still fused closed. He made a few breathing attempts, though his lungs were not mature. I knew that day how important the gospel is. I will never forget that child. He died after a while and I wrapped him up in a pretty blanket and they sent him off to be placed in a mass grave for unclaimed babies. I know Heavenly father claimed him though and that he went to work in the spiritworld.
Heck!!! It still bugs me that nobody thought it was important to even try to comfort him. They all just assume he was not developed enough to have feelings.
Most babies that die where I work have families present who loved them and grieve for them, those times are sad and I feel sorry for the families, but I also know where those children are going. That helps alot.
