My Pappaw had been a “wild buck” in his day, he ran moonshine in his youth & was quite a ladies man at one time, even after he was married to my grandmother. He put a lot of hurt on his family until the day he got saved.

After that, he was a changed man & devoted the rest of life to taking care of his family in every way he could. When we had our last talk, he told me that the Lord had forgiven him for his past sins and that he had a conviction in his heart about it - he no longer “kicked himself” over his past mistakes. He said he wasn’t afraid, he knew he was going to a better place. He impressed on me the power of forgiveness.

About a year after he died - I had a dream one night. I dreamed I was at work & my Pappaw came in the room, dressed in his usual outfit of overalls and work shoes - but everything he was wearing was snow-white. I was crying with joy & ran to him saying “Pappaw, what are you doing here?”

He said, “I just wanted to let you know that I’m doing just fine”.

That dream made me so happy & I truly feel in my heart that it was a message to me from him - to let me know that he was “just fine”.
