I had a vision the other day. It came unexpectedly, while I was right in the midst of a busy workday but I was able to take a few moments to scribble down parts of song lyrics that I"heard" a group of innocent newly slain Israeli civilians singing as they entered Heaven. I was overcome at the moment, by the beauty of the song they were singing but had never heard it as I have no connections to that culture, or music, for that matter. They were singing "Israel My Love" and one other line of the song I remembered was "Land of the Savior". A few days later I was searching through the internet and came upon the song! There it was, "Israel My Love" - the title of the song and the one line "land of the Savior" was actually "land of the Messiah". I was stunned. I played the song over and over and was swept away by the emotion and love for their homeland this song expressed. Even now, a few days later as the war is still in the news I cannot help but think of this vison and take comfort in knowing that they did indeed reach Heaven with the love of their homeland still strong among them.
