| Housewife's own story of her incredible glimpse of heaven
MY GUARDIAN ANGEL GUIDED ME BACK TO LAND OF THE LIVING
MOM Linda Johnston died in a terrifying car accident - and was given a wonderful
glimpse of paradise by her guardian angel.
"When I first saw the angel, I didn't realize what it was," recalls the haunted
house-wife. "It was four times as large as a human being, and I'd never seen
anything so bright ..."
Linda's incredible experience began just seconds before, when her pickup
truck was struck from behind on a Mississippi highway.
The 40-year-old artist crashed through the trucks windshield, hit a roadside
hospital sigh and then skidded across the sun-splashed hardtop.
In the space of a few heartbeats, Linda broke both legs, shattered her pelvis
and right hip and compressed three of her vertebrae.
"It was during that time I was airborne that I died," says the mom of two
young children
"I felt myself rise, going through a spinning tunnel.
"I felt nothing, but heard the last of my breath leave my body. They told
me later this probably happened when I hit the pavement.
"At the end of the tunnel, I saw a door with bright light coming from it
and the sound of choral music. It was very warm and very inviting.
"Then I saw my angel."
Linda says the angel had visited her before, when she was eight and nearly
walked out in front of a moving car, and again at 12 when she underwent an
emergency appendectomy.
"There was nothing scary about it," she says.
Linda says the angel had no wings or halo, and a hood covered its head.
"I couldn't tell if it was male of female." she says, "but a glow surrounded
its entire body. It was a white light, flecked with blue and yellow.
"It was so bright you couldn't see eyelashes or mouth of the angel, but you
could make out hands and arms. Its voice was very calm, very distinct, very
soothing, very assuring.
"I felt so much love and peace, and no fear."
Linda says the angel pointed to its left. She looked down - and saw her own
lifeless body.
"I was laying on my back and there was blood all around my body," Linda shudders.
"It was then that the angel asked: Are you ready?'
"No! No! I said. "I've got my husband and two kids. I've got too much
to do. I've got to go back.'
"I saw the angel nod its head, very slowly. The it said: Very well.
It is not your time.'
"There came a short blackness. Then I looked up and my husband and the paramedics
were all around me, calling my name.
"I was alive."
Linda was to spend the next 58 days in the hospital as her shattered body
healed.
The angel visited again four days after the accident. "Things were touch-and-go,
but the angel told me not to worry.
"I later spent five months in a wheelchair, and the doctors told me I'd never
walk again. But now I can walk with a cane," says Linda, who paints pictures
based on her experience with the angel.
"It has changed me. I've learned to take one day at a time.
"My recovery was a miracle.
"But then, I believe in miracles ..."
