"I just felt a very strong flood of feeling to strongly encourage you to take care of yourself and enjoy your loved ones to the max."

My 59 year old sister had a heart attack this morning and is presently in the hospital in Indiana. She is in stable condition and my younger sister is with her. I've told no-one but FReeper LucyT about this. How were you able to sense 'something.' Our paths on FR seldom cross. Thanks.

You're blowing me away and bringing tears to my eyes.

It was just as I wrote above. Let me grope around and see if I can glean any other bits from that experience . . .

It was a very robust and intense feeling. That you either had or would have soon a very strong need or opportunity to express a lot of caring toward a close loved one or more.

And, there was some sort of image, in addition to a kind of intense love toward a newborn type of love intensity--there was a kind of holding--a kind of wrapping in love; a cradling . . . . a cherishing, . . . a caressing . . . a kind of very thick caring--almost a tangible love sort of transmitted person to person in some unusual way out of the depths of one or more hearts involved.

And I think I sensed (or maybe imagined) a bit of hesitancy of some kind and I wanted to scream--avoid the hesitancy--wade in fiercely, strongly, floodingly. But I was chicken to say any such thing in the earlier post.

No, I had not communicated with nor heard from anyone about you AT ALL. Was just reading the thread and felt to respond about prayers re the person the prayers or thread were about . . . and as I saw your name on the screen I had the flood of such stuff as above just flow through me and into my awareness in a kind of intense condensed form that took a lot of words and tuning in to tease out into a form words could be put to. Not sure I'm making sense but that's about as well as I can put it.

It was kind of like a flower bomb--like a small very dense bomb was placed within me and then the flower petals of it started to rapidly unfold and expand in a way that allowed some words to form with the flood of intense feelings. I was quite shocked and taken aback by the suddenness, the unbiddeness and unconnectedness of what I received to anything that had gone before. But I felt like I dare not hesitate to share it with you--for whatever it might be worth.

It felt like it was too important to share even if it risked your disapproval.

Along with the above was a strong feeling of wishing I could wrap you and your whole family in a huge fuzzy thick down flannel or fur comforter of liquid love. Doesn't quite put it very accurately but that's as close as I can come.

Then I was somewhat concerned that I would come across as warning about some impending disaster. But it didn't feel like that was quite right. So I ended up putting it as I did.

If I have more thoughts and feelings on it, I'll try and share them after my shower.

Please know that you are deeply cared for, blam. I don't know what all's involved. But I know that's true. Very true. And I know that God is somehow hovering around your family for a list of good purposes regardless of the tragedy, hazards, risks, dangers. I know He seeks to do good to more than one or two in your family out of all this. There's a sense of awe in my gut about it all.

LUB,
later,

Prayers for you and your family. I'm sure others on this thread will lift you in their prayers as well.

What's nice about being a Christian is race isn't an issue. My daughter is 1/2 Chinese and 1/2 Caucasian. Her "race" is Eurasian. At the moment she is in a Christian school and makes high honors. Later on what she will have to face is intellectual discrimination since that combination has an extremely high academic bar - how silly! I just read in The Economist that they (Asians) must do 25% better in exams whereas lower scores are more acceptable from other groups competitng for the same slot in higher education. In other words, they quota the bright ones out and pitch their appeal and easily accept those that don't score high - totally backwards ... .

From the Christian perspective we are all part of the human race. Thankfully He doesn't discriminate and loves each of us regardless of color, ethnicity etc.. This may be a surprise to some "Christians" but there will be different COLORS of Christians in heaven.

A sweet little girl in my daughter's class is from Nigeria. She is new to the U.S.. You wouldn't believe what a little seven year old has witnessed and escaped from. The Muslims there get off on slaughtering Christians. Eventually they fled to the U.S.. Others that don't have the means live from minute to minute.

I've told no-one but FReeper LucyT about this. How were you able to sense 'something.'

I only stumbled to your post 93 by mere curiosity on the title article.
If I hadn't seen it was a "vintage" thread, I'd not have scanned down.

Hope all is well. And that whatever sort of Providence brought me
here will look well after your sister.

While it's no time for levity...
you know it's well-nigh impossible to keep a secret on Free Republic!

My prayers for your sister. I had my first heart attack, which ended up with a double bypass, two years ago, and in March I had a second, with a stent put in. I'm 67 and doing fine. It's amazing what they can do now. May God's peace be with you and your family at this time. Love, Mxxx
