with your loved ones, through your faithfulness." I found myself wishing that I would be given the power to see the things of the spirit that I might be eyewitness to Dad's joyful reunion with family and friends in the spirit world, but I knew in my heart that it was not an appropriate desire. Instead, there came flooding into my soul that witness of the spirit which gives the peace that passeth all understanding. I knew in that moment that all is well with Dad, that the anticipated reunion would occur, and that he would enter into the joy of the Lord.
