A modern day hymn

I never need more than "Sandi Patty" on an item before it is in my possession, but this re-release went a bit further. My mother died exactly two years ago yesterday, 5/31/00. About three days prior to this passing mother's day I dreamed of my mother for only the second time since she has been gone. In the dream I saw her dancing around the throne singing "isn't He beautiful".Although mother's day brings a bit of emptiness, she left behind three sisters who I take advantage of still be here with me. I rushed out to get each one of them Sandi Patty's Artist of My Soul which has a very special meaning to me. It served as one of the most intimate times I ever shared with my mother before she died. So with this mother's day, I decided to share this story which happened to me and mom before she died and accompany it with "Artist of My Soul". To my suprise, I passed the book shelve and the book listing Sandi Patty as an author caught my eye. I picked it up and then remembered of the most unusual dream about mom singing around a throne singing "isn't He beautiful", and now this re-released song "I've Just Seen Jesus" with a book. Then it seemed to click. Mother's Day, mom "seeing Jesus", etc..... I picked up three copies for my aunts and bought two for my collection.I listen to the CD which is enclosed in the book's rear plastic holder. Despite knowing the song and listening to it many times, it seemed to be different this time. My aunts all called crying after reading the note I wrote about my dream, the experience I had with mom in ICU while Artist of My Soul played, and how this all seemed to be a little "too perfect" for coincidence.My rating is five stars for this item. And as for my Sandi Patty, well she will always have a special meaning and serve as a constant reminder of how much God loves me. She will always get 10 stars out of five.This great song released in the mid 1980's written by the Gaithers serves as a modern day hymn that blessed so many then, and sure blessed one son that misses his mom everyday. Out of this, three aunts were introduced to something "new" and will serve as a reminder of my mom who will live on and on, even if just in a memory or song.
