Harvie Lynette Brown

Harvie Lynette Brown, devoted wife and mother, and loving grandmother, sister, niece, and cousin.

Imagine with me for a moment...
Picture a lady out for a stroll in a beautiful garden where there's no pollution. It's filled with a variety of vivid colored flowers, exotic birds, and tall trees. There's a crystal clear babbling brook close by, and off in the distance, there's a majestic waterfall. She has no worries, and there are no words in our vocabulary to adequately describe her feelings of sheer joy as she ponders her thoughts. Nothing can harm her, and she knows it. Every face she sees is friendly and illuminates the same expression of joy, peace, and love that radiates from her. There are no harsh words, or gossip, or anger.
The weather is perfect, and the beauty that surrounds her is breath-taking. There's nothing in the place to cause allergies, colds, or sickness or any kind. She's not ruled by communism or socialism yet no money is needed, and the absolute best of everything she could possibly ever need or want is provided for her.
Love abounds, and there are no unpleasant noises or offensive music. Whenever she hears music, it's harmonious with all the voices in perfect pitch, and all the instruments are expertly played, and precisely tuned. She could sit and listen to it all day and night, but there's so much to do and see. She just arrived here last night, and she's surrounded by her loved ones. She has been joyously welcomed by many loving people, and she recognizes everyone of them, even those she's never met.
The Man who dominates her thoughts, though, is the first one she saw when she arrived. She had eagerly anticipated meeting Him face-to-face for her entire life. She became totally enveloped in the power of His blissful love and the peace that passes all understanding from the first instant she laid eyes on Him. She was absolutely speechless when His nail scarred hands held hers and said," Welcome home, Lynette. I've been expecting you. Come and see the magnificant place I've prepared for you."

Written by Deb Brown, Lynette's daughter-in-law, the day after Lynette returned to her "Real Home."
