Peg, I was so glad Josies-angel brought up that God is LOVING. So many Christian religions make God out to be judgmental and to be feared. WRONG.
One of my mother's experiences occurred the night my brother was murdered. She had no idea why at the time but she woke up (it turned out to be at the time he died)and the room was filled with Light and was emanating pure Love and Joy. She told me it was so intense she wasn't sure if she was going to survive it.
I've also read about people who've had Near Death Experiences and describe being surrounded by a Light filled with Unconditional Love...so much so, that they want to stay and have to be told they need to go back.
You are very wise, Peg, to just allow your friend to express her beliefs. Hold on to your own and be at peace with them. I just remind myself that "religion" was created by humans to control and create fear. Jesus and Buddha both spoke of a loving Creator, and that's what I roll with.
Oh, and my husband was also a skeptic until HE had his own ADC's from his mother. (She gave me a couple too, but people need to have their OWN to believe.) |
