TRUE MIRACLE STORIES

Near Death Experience

My story is a true experience that happened to me when I was a little girl, age nine. I was home sick for three days running a high temperature. When I got worse my parents brought me to the emergency room. After the ER doctor saw me he immediately sent me up to the operating room. I'll never forget when he said the word "stat." My appendix had ruptured and the doctor caught it just in time right before it burst, however, the poison peritonitis set in. I was in a coma for a week and given my last rites.

During my time in a coma I took an amazing journey. I felt the love of God as my spirit left my body and I moved slowly through a tunnel of light. I was enveloped by divine light. It was like a warm red glowing sensation, a sensation of love. As I moved forward toward the light at the end of this tunnel, I could see all around me but I could also see me if you can understand that. Pictures of my life were flashing before me in constant motion. With every picture of my life, good or bad, I could feel every feeling of that experience.

As I got closer to the end of the tunnel I felt so happy. I was almost through the opening when I could see at the end a couple of white doves flying, a beautiful blue sky, and tall grass with flowers. It looked like Heaven. The grass started parting as if it was welcoming me home and I felt love everywhere. All of a sudden I heard this deep voice behind me saying, "Go back, go back, your mother needs you." I didn't want to do any such thing. I was feeling love beyond that I could ever imagine but the voice continued. I felt myself turning around (no body), and in the far distance I noticed a silhouette person with no face just a long robe. I listened to the voice and went back to my body in the hospital.

I woke up from my coma and about five weeks later I returned home. To this day my mother has needed me both emotionally and financially. I know this was divine intervention and to this day, I still remember that voice. It reminds me of the important role I play in my mother's life and I will always be there for her.

I truly believe that each day is a blessing. Don't take it for granted. Thank God for your little miracles and blessings of each day. I do and now have a second chance to make a difference.
