At that point I closed my eyes and told the Lord I didn't think I was prepared or could do this. While I was in this mode, a bright glow appeared above me and a presence flowed about me. I didn't open my eyes, but stayed very still. A voice was urging me to let go of my earthbound thoughts and concerns and come up. After struggling with my thoughts for a minute or two I was able to consciously let go and my spirit seem to drift up into the bright glowing light. 

The next thing I realized, I was sitting on a park bench with a person whom I realized to be the Lord Jesus himself. Everything was brilliant in color and light, and all my worldly concerns were gone. He smiled at me and began talking to me as we set side by side on the park bench. His words brought not only a peace but also confidence and sense of being needed. The beauty of the surroundings seemed to be fed by his words and presence. Such light and glory filled the whole surrounding area. He got up, from the bench and motioned to me to walk with him. Not wanting to be left behind, I hurried to get up and began walking alongside him. We strolled through the park just talking as friends do when they go walking together. I don't remember any great revelations other than just getting to know one another better. He seemed to know me very well, and his words and expressions filled me with love and confidence. 

As we approached a hill, Jesus started to jog up the hill. Not wanting to be left behind, I began to jog too. I remember the fear of not being able to keep up or falling behind as he surged ahead. To my amazement I had great stamina and strength. It was very easy to keep in stride as I jogged alongside of the Lord. As we were jogging, I was aware of others jogging alongside and behind us. I glanced over my shoulder and was pleased to see that everyone that was in the meeting was easily keeping pace with us. There was such a comradery and oneness with everyone in the group. I noticed for the first time that we all had the same glowing aura about us as the Lord. We were all having a great time jogging up the hill with the Lord and there was a great excitement and joy emanating from everyone. 

Soon we reached the top of the hill and Jesus stopped. I looked around and all in the group were happily milling around chatting with one another. Then silence fell upon all of us and we all turned toward him as the Lord spoke. Great love and compassion emanated from his face as he gestured off to one side of the hill and said, "We have company". 

Upon turning in the direction he gestured, we all became aware of a gray dark valley at one side of the hill. In the valley were people moving in our direction carrying great packs on their backs. Their faces were weathered and worn by the burdens they were carrying. They labored and struggled with their loads as they came up the hill in our direction. 

Jesus again spoke, " Give them something to drink". The group turned and moved toward the people coming up the hill. As they reached the top of the hill, the group split up into teams and met the people. The teams greeted the burdened people and helped them off with their loads. They set these packs down and made the people sit on them to rest. Then as each of the team reached out to minister to the person a crystal goblet appeared in their hand and it was full of clear crystalline water. When the person took and drank of the water they became refreshed and a glowing continence came over their face. Forgetting their burden they became as one of the team members and turned to minister to the approaching people coming up the hill. At this point the vision ended and I became aware of the meeting again.
