And you shall rejoice in all the good that the LORD your God has given to you and to your house… ~ Deuteronomy 26:11

This morning, I had a bizarre dream that I questioned if it was a message from God. I am convinced that I have, in my lifetime, had two distinct and indisputable visions that were divinely delivered. I’ll share those at some point because they have drastically altered my life and have a direct reason for this blog. This one was different, so I’m not as rattled as one might think you would be who would dream such a thing. But I can’t stop thinking about it, and it goes a bit like this… I was in the pew at church (or somewhere in my house, cannot quite tell which). I’m using scissors to clip my obituary from our local newspaper. I’m truly saddened by this as a member of my church congregation (no, I am not telling you who) is standing over me providing grief counseling in some form. I belief the sadness is not that I might be dead, but that I have widowed my dear wife. Not sure if this is a story of God’s great glory, but it does put things into perspective. We can go at any time. Love your spouses. Love your children. Love your mothers, fathers, grandparents and great grandparents while you still can. Your family is one true blessing of this life that comes from God. Cherish it. Honor it. Thank God daily.
