Many years ago, in the early 70's I was expecting the  Lord to come any day to take us up in the Rapture. 

A few months after learning about the Rapture, I found out I was pregnant with our fourth child (son).  I stupidly thought, Oh now the Lord will have to delay the Rapture until my baby is born.  I was worried about it.  (The devil was working overtime.)  As if Jesus would delay the Rapture just for my pregnancy. 

 

Anyway I went to a Bible Study/Prayer Meeting.  The people there did not know of my pregnancy as I was only about 2 months along.

The guest speaker was teaching on the Rapture of the Church when at the end of his teaching a woman asked him about children going up in the Rapture.  He said, those children that have not reached the age of reason would go up and then he turned and pointed out in the crowd that those who are pregnant will be presented with their baby when they arrive to be with Jesus.  His finger was pointing right at me.  I did not know him personally nor did he know me.

 

Suddenly my eyes were opened and I started to laugh at myself for thinking so stupidly.  Of course Jesus has a plan for all that.

Many years have gone by but my belief in the Rapture of God's people is drawing ever so close.  We are going up and it is SOON!

 

Waiting patiently for HIS coming,
