<TITLE>27. Par 271-286</TITLE>L-271 She said, "Daddy, you just don't know where you're at." And I said, "What do you mean?"

L-272 She said, "This is Heaven." Said, "On earth I was your little Sharon."
"Why," I said, "honey, you was just a little baby."

L-273 Said, "Daddy, little babies are not little babies here, they're immortal. They never get old or never grow."

L-274 And I said, "Well, Sharon, honey, you--you're a pretty, young woman."
She said, "Mama's waiting for you."
And I said, "Where?"
She said, "Up at your new home."

L-275 And I said, "New home?" Branhams are vagabonds, they don't have homes, they just... And I said, "Well, I never had a home, honey."

L-276 She said, "But you got one up here, Daddy." I don't mean to be a baby, but it's just so real to me. [Brother Branham weeps--Ed.] As I start to thinking of it, it all comes back again. Said, "You got one here, Daddy." I know I got one over there, someday I'll go to it. She said, "Where's Billy Paul, my brother?"

L-277 And I said, "Well, I left him at Mrs. Broy's, just a few minutes ago."
Said, "Mother wants to see you."

L-278   And I turned and looked, and there was great big palaces, and the Glory of God coming up around them. And I heard an Angelic choir singing, "My Home, sweet Home." I started up a long steps, running just as hard as I could. And when I got to the door, there she stood, a white garment on, that black hair, long, holding down her back. She raised out her arms, as she always did when I come home tired from work or something. I caught her by the hands, and I said, "Honey, I seen Sharon down there." I said, "She made a pretty girl, didn't she?"

L-279 She said, "Yes, Bill." She said, "Bill." Put her arms around me, (and she said) just around my shoulders, she started patting me, she said, "Stop worrying about me and Sharon."
I said, "Honey, I can't help it."

L-280 She said, "Now Sharon and I are better off than you are." And said, "Don't worry about us no more. Will you promise me?"

L-281 And I said, "Hope," I said, "I've been so lonesome for you and for Sharon, and Billy cries all the time for you." I said, "I don't know what to do with him."

L-282 And she said, "It'll be all right, Bill." She said, "Just promise me you won't worry no more." And she said, "Won't you sit down?" And I looked around and there was a great big chair.

L-283   And I remember I tried to buy a chair. Now, in closing. I tried to buy a chair one time. We just had them old--old common wooden-bottom chairs for that breakfast set. We had to use them, the only chairs we had. And we could buy one of these chairs that you let back in the back, like a... I forget what kind of an easy-rest chair. And it cost seventeen dollars, and you could pay three dollars down and a dollar a week. And we got one. And, oh, when I'd come in... I'd work all day, and preach til midnight around streets and wherever I could preach.

L-284 And--and I one day I got behind on my payments. We couldn't make it, and it got day after day, and finally one day they come and got my chair and took it. That night, I never will forget, she had me a cherry pie baked. Poor little old thing, she--she--she knowed I was going to be disappointed. And after supper I said, "What's you so good about tonight, honey?"

L-285 And she said, "Say, I had the boys over in the neighborhood to dig you some fishing worms. Don't you think we ought to go down to the river and fish a little while?"
And I said, "Yes, but..."

L-286   And she started crying. I knowed there was something wrong. I had an idea 'cause they had already sent me a notice they was coming to get it. And we couldn't make that dollar payment a week. We couldn't, didn't... couldn't afford it. She put her arms around me, and I went to the door and my chair was gone.
She told me up There, she said, "You remember that chair, Bill?"
And I said, "Yes, honey, I remember."
Said, "That's what you was thinking about, wasn't it?"
"Yeah."
