It is an awesome story. Awesome because there is little explanation for this other than a: it’s true, b: it’s a set up. But the evidence would seem to show it’s legit. A young boy, under anesthesia during an operation sees his baby sister, who had miscarried before she was born. Amazing.
Apparently during the same surgery Colton went to Heaven where he recounts how he met his grandfather who he had never known, who he later recognized in photos. The interesting thing is that he didn’t recognize photos of his grandfather as an old man with glasses, which is how everyone knew him, but rather as a young man. Colton’s father literally had go find a photo of ‘Pop’ as a young man before Colton was able to recognize him. Now that’s pretty wild.
But I must say what really surprised me was that Colton’s father recounts how Colton, still 4 years old, told his mother “you had a baby die in your tummy didn’t you”, which completely shocked them both because they had never told him about their miscarriage. They asked him how he knew and he said that he met his sister in Heaven and she told him what happened.
… I’m sure there are some of you who will be naysayers, but to me this is pretty amazing and rather difficult to simply reject out of hand.

What is the evidence?
Give the devil his due; he can capture the public’s eye easily.
The body is locked in linear time, but the mind is a planar temporal receiver of data, so we sense as if the present things which have already happened. Our spirit may be so far outside of linear time that it exists in ‘volumetric’ time. Consciousness is more than electromagnetic phenomena because the esthetics of a color—for instance—are more than mere electromagnetic sensing. Thoughts and dreams have a physical brain component so that we are ‘fixed’ in present time, but thoughts and dreams are more than actions occurring in the physical brain.
Agree
I can believe it. I have lost 3 babies. I was still in a place of grieving, kinda stuck there. Many times when I would see a family or mother with several small children, it would hit me hard and I would feel that sadness all over again. One day while praying, I said to God, it would be so cool to hear my kids horse playing, laughing and just being kids. God gave me an open eye vision. I see my father standing in front of me, he had passed away about 6 years earlier. He’s smiling at me, he’s holding one baby, another baby is sitting on his shoulder and the other one is clinging to his leg. It was only for a moment, but, that grief that I just couldn’t seem to shake was gone. That was back in the late 80’s. I’d always known my babies were in heaven, but, that day God gave me real peace about it. God is awesome.
Well, that explains it!
Praise God, you’ve been Graced! I’ve collected quite a few NDE and visions of the departed stories. The ones from people I’ve known personally are to me undeniable. Share your vision with all in your family. It may be more precious for their future than you could even imagine.
I have experienced something similiar, and the reality of it was just as piercing, completely real, and life-changing as what you described. You've received a tremendous blessing - thank you so much for sharing it!
I’ve heard that before. It was about 2:00 a.m. in a dorm room and some herbs had been smoked.
In that case, would you like for me to explain further?
You’re right, thanks.
I am a Calvinist, who thinks it is dangerous to erect the temple of dogma on the quicksand of personal experience. I regard Marian apparitions as demonically-induced mass hallucinations. Be that as it may ...
I had been fasting and praying one day, seeking God’s mercies for my family. God woke me up at 3:00 in the morning and flooded my soul with a powerful conviction of how much he loved our latest young son — the baby who miscarried the next day.
Since all of our living children came by C-section, I figured 4 was about our limit — and our youngest and remarkable daughter would not be here if her big brother had lived. No, I haven’t laid that trip on her, but I do think God has something big ahead for her.
For you and the rest of FR here please read “Closer to the Light and Transformed by the Light” by Dr. Melvin Morse
He has studied near death experiences of children. He did this because he wanted to catch them before their belief system was cememted by faith or non faith. It is a well documented book.
They all say the same thing. They all saw a relative or some devine being. I believe it.
I have shared. Some people look at me like I’m nuts...lol I really don’t care, I know what I saw and it affected me by giving me peace and joy. That’s how I knew it was from God. My little ones are waiting for me in heaven, one day I will have the privilege of raising them.
It was amazing and yes, I have been truly blessed by a God who loves us all. What He will do for one, He will do for another. He is no respecter of persons.
You do have to be careful what you believe and what you allow into your soul. Out of ignorance and a lack of reading the word and questioning, many people believe many false things about God. We all have beliefs that are wrong, even Christians. We can't know it all and just because you believe something wrongly, doesn't condemn you to hell. As long as we have a relationship with Jesus of the bible, that is the main thing. God will take care of the rest, if we allow Him.
I gave my life to Jesus in the 70's. But, after I was healed of liver cancer 8 years ago, at the altar of my church, that's when I truly began to grow in the knowledge of Him the most. It wasn't because of me or anything I had done. It's because of God and His mercy. I now know, that I know so little about God, before thinking I knew so much. God is to big to understand it all. But, He is faithful to show us, if we don't have a stubborn hard heart and we have an ear to listen. I have learned not to box God in. He's very creative and you began to understand when He shows you things that it truly is Him. You know by the fruits and it's confirmed by the word.

I’m reading the book right now. It is awesome. By the way, God gave me a vision of the 3 I lost. I had the vision back in the early 90’s. Along with my father who had passed away 6 years earlier. It gave me such peace, I can’t tell you. God is so good.
The kid wasn’t 4 years old yet and talked about things in the bible that he would have had no way of knowing. Most adults don’t even know these things unless they are reading their bible on a regular basis.
