A Sister's Love and a Special Gift
May 6, 2015
My beautiful daughter Jamie Eisenstat wrote about this touching and beautiful experience she had today about my angel son Joshua:
I just had the most powerful experience. Second period on Wednesday at Wasatch, there was a special needs boy sitting directly in front of me as we gathered after games to sing and testify. Brother Eggett quoted a line from Master the Tempest is Raging and asked if anybody knew what song that was. The special needs boy pronounced proudly "Master the Tempest is Raging!" And the biggest joyful smile came on his face when he realized he was right! Then he said "Peace, be still." It was such a sweet sight of pure joy. Then as we were singing that song, the boy sang with us the "Peace, peace be still" part. I then had an overwhelming feeling of the presence of my older brother, Joshua, who passed away 9 and a half years ago. We moved into the last song "Oh Sweet the Joy This Sentence Gives" and that special little boy sang the last verse with us. He was glowing with the light of Christ. I could not stop smiling at him and then, crying, as I again felt the physical presence of Joshua in the room, and along with him, our Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ, together moving through the crowd, touching and healing hearts. It was so overwhelming and beautiful. I have been moved today.
Joshua loved his sister! And I can still hear him yelling "Jamieee" across the room and giving tall hugs to his small sister. Thank you Jamie for sharing this beautiful and precious experience today. I love you!
