Book Cover & Preview Text
This story first came to me in the form of a dream. In my dream, I see two little girls in the hospital. They are both in comas. I watch as their mothers deal with what is happening. The first little girl Amy was brought in when she was just five and has been in a coma for nearly two years, and yet her mother, Lil Iverson seems to have total peace that Amy will come back to her. Amy is a quick—witted child with a wonderful sense of humor. She has always been full of life and very active, she loves to run and climb. Some would say she's a tomboy. Amy has beautiful bronze curls just like her mom. Lil has had many dreams in which she is able to visit with Amy in a heavenly garden and actually watch her grow. The other little girl Melisa has only been in the hospital a couple of days. And her mother, Debbie Miller is having a very hard time accepting what has happened to her little girl: she is angry with God because just a couple of days ago Missy was at home playing with her friends. How could God allow this to happen? Missy is a more quiet and reflective child. She is very sensitive and loves her dolls and story books. Melisa is a beautiful little girl with dark brown hair like her papa and she's also very smart. Lil is a lovely, strong Christian woman who is filled with faith. And she talks to her daughter as if she can hear every word. She also talks to God as if He can hear every word. Debbie admires Lil's faith, but she still doesn't understand how this mother can be so upbeat when her daughter is lying there in a coma. Lil is being very patient with Debbie, because she knows how hard it is to accept tragedy when it comes into our lives. She also knows that the Lord has the answers to all of Debbie's questions. So she continues to quietly witness to Debra and to pray that the Lord will open her heart to God's truth. "Please Lord give me wisdom as I reach out to Debra. Help me to say the right things, the things you want her to hear. I ask this in Jesus name. Amen"

About the Book
Lil Iverson is a lovely Christian mom who has been standing on the promises of God for her daughter for almost two years. She has just awakened from a visit to the Garden of Blessings.
In these dreams she is actually able to see her daughter, Amy, and talk to her. Amy has been in a coma for nearly two years, and it has been such a comfort for Lil to be able to visit with her daughter in this way.
In her most recent dream, Amy had been very happy that Lil was there, for it was a special time in the garden. Amy had said, “Oh Mommy, it’s so good that you can be here to see the angels come and get the blessings from the children to take to the people who need them.”
Lil had watched as these beautiful beings that seemed to be filled with light came and received something from each of the children, and then the angels would just turn away and simply disappear. The thing that Lil loved was that the children seemed to be such an important part of what was happening.
“What a wonderful blessing for the children to be made a part of this glorious ceremony! Thank you, Lord, and thank you so much for allowing me to witness this.”
