It’s time for a dream story…

 (This photo is just an example)
I dreamed last night that my sister showed me a picture of mom, herself and me. But I could only see a part of my face. Then she pushed a button and it became a video. Everything was shown in color. We moved to a suburb in Tampa when we were about nine and ten years old; into a brand new house. Coming from very humble surroundings this was a whole new world and life for us. In the dream the video showed the yellow and orange shag carpet, paneled walls, with all of us laughing…then it all went kind of fuzzy and I said the word, righteousness…and I woke up.
This afternoon I felt a tugging on my heart and I said, “What Lord? What is it?” I looked on my coffee table at my Bible and I was nudged to pick it up and read from the Psalms…so I opened my Bible and flipped to Psalm 145 and read it out loud…
I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever. Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever.
Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; His greatness no one can fathom. One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your mighty acts. They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty, and I will meditate on your wonderful works. They will tell of the power of your awesome works, and I will proclaim your great deeds. They will celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness.
The LORD is gracious and compassionate; slow to anger and rich in love.
My heart needed to praise the LORD at that moment…so the Holy Spirit pointed my attention to His WORD!!
God is always faithful and He loves His children…if you are down cast today, if you are wondering how you’re going to make it, if you are feeling alone and afraid…frustrated by life’s circumstances…open your mouth and begin to give God praise…He will lift the burden and the loneliness from you and you’ll see everything in living color…when we begin to see others, and look at them through love it doesn’t matter if we are seen or not…Because His face is the one we will be looking into every time we look at one of His creations…it will be His Righteousness shining through us…gracious and compassionate; slow to anger and rich in love.
Psalm 145…read it out loud and bless the Lord…and you will be blessed!

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
