As the knock came on the door, He laid down the Book,carefully. Grasped both arms of the chair, firmly and briskly pushed himself to the STANDING position. The knocks repeated themselves and the man Leaned over, ever so gently, and Lowered himself onto his wheel chair, and Called out LOUDLY, "COMING,,,,COMING " The knocks were continuing, even more intensely , as he gripped the edges of the Wheels and pushed himself Forward,, with ALL his Might ! ! "COMING,,,,COMING" He Repeated ! His strength had so waned in the last few weeks, that the very effort of pushing with all HIS might, Only propelled him forward a Very Few Inches at a Time ! ! The Knocks were even Louder Now ! and more Frequent..... He was sweating Profusely as he gritted his teeth and struggled with the wheel chair, in His effort to reach the door. It seemed like He moved forward in * SLOW-MOTION*, GOD_ how he wanted to reach the Door ! His groans were now growing Louder as he attempted with with his most Valiant effort, to reach the Door from which the Pounding seemed to be UNCEASING ! "COMING,,,,COMING" he echoed thru the hallway in his Exhausted state, "Please Wait, I'm Coming" he Pleaded , as the Knocking continued at a Rapid pace ! With each Inch of Forward Movement, He felt he just couldn't go on any further, BUT, The Repeating sounds of the Knocks Kept him on His QUEST! Near Collapse as he reached the Door, He slowly extended his arm, wrapped his hand , pouring wet with sweat, around the Door **** and with ALL of the strength He had Left,_he TURNED the **** and Opened the Door ! ! The Flashing White brightness , Never seen before or even able to describe, Enveloped His Whole Body ! As he felt Himself being Lifted from the chair, placed gently and firmly on his feet! The Light now became A SOURCE OF GREAT COMFORT, and as it grasped his hands, He heard a "Comforting " Voice say to him "COME, WALK AND FOLLOW ME" ...........
