I know two people whose grandfather and grandmother, respectively, knew it was their time. They bathed, dressed in the good clothes, lay down that night, and died in their sleep. They were elderly, and cared for themselves up to that day, as best as they could.

They both happened to be devout Catholics.

I had that conversation with my Dad. We were sitting in the den with the TV on and everything seemed normal. He was only fifty six and had a history of heart problems.

He got that look of seeing into the rapture, so I specifically said to him, don't die on me yet just because your prayers have been fulfilled and he assured me he would not.

I went back overseas and the very next day the First Shirt knocked on my door to tell me Dad had passed away. Just before he died in the hospital my Mother was able to tell him his second granddaughter, my niece, had been born.

Yes, people choose their time more than most seem to realize.

Thanks for that lj. I do think the Lord and Giver of Life can let people know when they’re going to die -— in His time.
