christmas gift

i had been feeling as i did almost 18 years ago,so far from my God. i know that everything is as it should be but i was feeling luke warm in my walk and i needed something to happen, then my brother in Christ gave me a book of prayer, this is what i had been missing, a way to connect with my Creator. thank you Lord for my christmas gift. I pray that this year i may begin a new journey with the goal of getting closer to God

The Miracle

two weeks ago my niece callapsed and was in ICU, 24 hours later the diagnosis was a stroke, she was hooked up to a ventilator, and had tubes coming out of every end, the outlook was grim, but two days later she is responding to simple commands and the next day she talking, she is recovering without any residual effects, the miracle is that she had people praying for her from various religions, family were at the hospital holding a vigil day and night, even with all the medical evidence that the prognosis was not good, we did not give up on the will of God for her life, she is only 27 and has the rest of her life to live.

birthday blues

my birthday came and left without any bang, i had to remind my daughter that i did not want to babysit on my birthday, my boy never called to wish me a happy birthday, and my brother had me run an errand with him  during my free time. I think that its ok that my kids don't appreciate that i have been around for almost half a century, but i do wish they don't take me for granted and then regret it when i'm gone, i do appreciate the tme i have been given to spend with my grandbabies and i love all the time i get with my youngest daughter

Dream

i arrive at my father-in-laws house in Mesa, but i don't know what road i took to get there and i am worried about how i will get back now that it is starting to storm. I am in the silver Nissan truck, there is blankets in the bed of the truck, the girl is trying to get comfortable and sleep under these blankets. It looks like the storm is getting closer, we are standing out side my house by the gate, the gate is fallen off the hinges and water is rising. We look to the sky and God is sitting on his thrown, someone is kneeling at his feet. We see a lighting bolt that is aimed toward the earth but a spiritual hand stops the lighting bolt from touching the ground. We see another picture, a catholic saint, (my mom once told me that this was a child that died early and became a saint so now people pray to him to take care of the sick children). My father-in-law says to me, see we can worship other saints.
what is the interpretation

father's day

On father's day my son, his wife and my new grandbaby came for a very short visit. My oldest son got mad at me for allowing his baby sister to sit alone with the baby. They left my house abruptly and he called to tell me that i had purposely left the baby alone in the arms of his sister just to get his wife angry. At first i was upset but after reviewing the situation i became very proud of my son for he is doing what the Lord requires, leave your mother and cling to your wife. I don't know what is to happen with our relationship but as long as he is happy i am ok with that.

dream

i am at the corner of a brick building, the sky is divided into two sections one section is dark with water, the other section is unusually sunny, i can feel the rain begin lightly, i see a plane crash into another building, then i realize that the sky is dumping all that water all at once in a catistrophic moment, i run with others into a work shop of unattentive workers and climb a ladder onto a loft, we soon see the water begin to flood the work shop as people begin to scatter with panic, i yell at one person to cllimb the ladder to safety but nobody llistens, the water does not flood the area, i feel like a fool, i run toward the school to find my child, the children are all lined up to go into the zoo, i run thru the line of children waiting to get in, i get to the entrance as i plea to the attendant to let me get in to see if Ellie is in there but she tells me, You will Die when You Die, i fall to me knees weeping uncontrolably, i wake up
what is the interpretation

personal memories

it isn't easy to recall childhood memories without remembering the evil that happened also, i don't know why God allows evil in our lives, but it sure makes us stronger to be able to look back and find some good out of that misery, my goal is to put down in writing some things that the kids can read and try to picture me in that situation with a smile on their faces and maybe a better understanding of me
