I also live my life by the Word of God, however, I have had a couple of experiences similiar to these posted. One of them was so profound that It would be hard to chalk it up to anything else, other than a visit from my husband....
My husband died July 1st 2000. He was only 43 yrs old. He had a massive heart attack, totally out of the blue, no prior warning. I found him just minutes after it happened. We had been married for 20 yrs, high school sweethearts.
At the time of his death, we had two Schnauzers. My "Leipshen" (now 12 yrs old) was given to me by my husband on Valentines Day. She was a precious puppy and although she has always been "my dog" she loved my husband dearly. They had a daily ritual between them that went on from the time he gave her to me until he died...and I believe for three days after he died.
Every evening when my husband would get home from work, he would come in the front door very quitely, trying to see if he could make it into the house without "Leipshen" hearing him. He pulled it off only a couple of times when she was a puppy. The minute she would hear him, she would run like crazy , make this little excited yippy sound , wagging her little tail vigorously and lifting both front paws up and down , up and down. She would then turn and look at me, run to me , then run back to him. As if to say "Look mommy, daddy is home!" He would laugh and pick her (when she was a puppy) , later he would bend over to her giving her lots of love. she looked forward to this every day.
The day after he died, I was in the bedroom, sitting on the edge of the bed , just staring straight ahead. ( I was completely lost and devistated). Leipshen was laying next to me on the bed. It was very quite in the house. all of a sudden..."Leipshen" whipped her head around to the bedroom door...she jumped up and flew off the bed...she stopped about four feet from the door, looking up, doing her little loving yip, wagging her tail so vigorously ...jumping up down, up down, EXACTLY the same welcome home that she had given him every day for years. She ran to me, jumped on the bed, yipping and whining , she then flew off the bed, stopping four feet within the room. She suddenly quited down, looking up, still wagging her tail, just like she would do when he would bend over and give her pets and loves.
I spoke to "Leipshen"...."Leipshen"..."is daddy here"? , she remained where she was, all happy. I said out loud, looking at where "Leipshen" was..."Jimmy"? "Are you here"? "Leipshen" turned and jumped back onto the bed, laying down and looking straight ahead. I just sat and cryed.
This happened for two more days. Always in the house, always in the bedroom (where I spent long hours). I don't remember telling anyone about it, or feeling much of anything except extremely sad.
It has been almost 8 yrs since Jimmy died. I still have my beloved "Leipshen", she is 12 yrs old and now totally blind. she is fine though and she is so good at navigating her way around that one can hardly tell that she is blind. i also have my beloved Yorkies, whom "Leipshen" loves to pieces and vice versa! My children and I have healed ( By the Grace of God). I never re-married, my kids are grown, and it is just me and my precious dogs. There have been incidents, at night , where both Yorkies will wake up and look at the bedroom door (different house). They will wag their tails and bark or whimper, (just for a couple moments). This wakes me up and I just lay quitely and smile, petting "Leipshen", who is snoring lightly beside me.
It is because of my devotion to God , and my uncertainty about anything paranormal , that has caused me to never share this story. It feels good to be able to share it with my friends here!
