Ray's Vision

My late husband was a very passionate man. Whatever he was he was into it or not. According to him he was called to preach when he was "Five " years old. (that's another story-to explain how he got called to preach at only five.) Of course later in life while having a prayer meeting beside his bed that calling was renewed. He got up from there and came in to the front room where I was and began to extol about his experience that had just happened to him. He said "mommy" you'll never guess what just happened to me or words to that effect. (He very often used the word Mom when addressing me and I would call him Dad or Daddy) He said, It was like I was lifted up out of my body and I sat beside a (flowing) river with my feet in the water. He implied that it was such a good feeling.
There were trees on each side of the river. He did not want to come back from there he said. Then he said he was taken to a beautiful hill side where there were sheep, and God ask him to feed the sheep. However he did have to come back because it was just a vision. He was so exited and I told him to get the Bible and read in the Book of Revelations 22nd chapter. It was exactly as he had seen it he said even the bottom of the throne. I wanted to tell you about the time we went fishing and I found the shoe of a murdered man.
I guess that will have to be told later in another story. The connection being that we went fishing that day there was a river involved, and I love God's beautiful scenery. And also I was thinking about the recycle thing and it included a beautiful river. Hopefully we will get to that later.

My great grandfather had some kind of a vision -- said he heard the Angel choir.

Of course that was back in the 1800s way before my time. I have just heard the story passed down.
