Knocking on Heaven’s Door, from Ireland


Posted on February 14th, by OneBillionStories.com in Families, Testimonies, Topics. 1 Comment

This journey we human beings find ourselves on can have some difficult turns in this world. So often, perhaps everyday, we get wrapped up in the hum-drum happenings of life, and forget about, well, the end of the walk on earth.

Today’s Story

Even though this is a very serious story, the storytellers are able to have a light-hearted discussion about being on ’s doorstep, why is that? Our team believes it is because they know they are in a good spot with God. No one likes to talk about . Why do you think many people are so afraid of the topic? We hope that this very clear and beautiful testimony of faith in God’s plan, even at the last breathes of this life, will give all who listen to it hope in the next life awaiting us all, if we say yes. Thanks to our Catholic faith, the ‘one billion Catholics’ have the chance to knock on heaven’s door. Perhaps you have a family member who could benefit from listening to this story? If so, grab the link above and e-mail it to them. We bet you will not regret it!

Irish Steve continues to impact the ‘digital continent.’ The plan of life in the eyes of God may have bumps and valleys to overcome, (Steve’s knows this) but let us all remain close to his plan so that we might have peace at our own heaven’s doorstep. When that moment will come, nobody knows, but we can remain ready through fidelity to the Sacraments. Thanks for sharing from the Emerald Isle!
