This week, Zella Dixon of Hixson describes two encounters with a mystical light.
God has performed many things in my life. These two accounts are the most outstanding encounters.
My sister-in-law Naomi died at age 39. After 20 years of marriage, she left behind my brother Bob and three beautiful children. Her life and death left a big impact on me, my mother and dad and especially my grandmother.
Several years later, my mom had a very restless night. Mom got up and went downstairs to study on her Sunday School lesson. Suddenly, she saw a bright light on the stairs. Mom jumped up and saw inside the light a vision of Naomi.
