My Dream

I had a dream last night and wasn't sure if I should share it but I feel like I need to because it was so real.  I want to preface this by saying that I don't really have too many dreams when I sleep.  If I do dream, I can't remember it the next morning.   

(Also, a disclaimer.  I have nothing against doctors or lawyers.  Please do not be offended.  That is just who was in this dream.)

So in my dream I am walking with a boy that I don't know but I am in charge of him.  We walk into this building and there lined up are orphans.  I am not sure why they are there.  They smile and wave at me but I do not recognize their faces.  I take this boy that is with me and we sit down at a table.  Seated in front of us is a doctor and to his right is a lawyer and to his left is a lawyer.  The doctor procedes to tell me that he can make an appoitment to see this boy on next Wednesday.  I tell him that won't work and does he have time tomorrow or the next day.  The doctor says it is Wednesday or you can find a new doctor.  I start to get up and they, the doctor and lawyers, ask me where I am going?  I say to find a new doctor.  They tell me, no one will take him as he already has a debt that can not be paid.  I say, well what do you mean, a debt?  They say,  he is a burden just like all these others here and we as a society have already paid too much for him. I say, but they did not choose this life, society chose it for them.  By this time the lawyers are already standing and ready to walk out the door.  I say to one of them, just a minute, can you listen to one last thing that I need to say to you.  So he obliged.  I then said, sir, when you stand before God you do not have to answer for the choices of anyone in this room but your own.  God says in His word that whatever you have done to the least of these you have done to Him.  He says we are to help the orphans in their distress.  So where are you going? 

I am not really sure why I had  this dream but I hope it will stir your heart for the orphan.  These kids don't have a choice but to be here and they are in survival mode.  We can not possibly understand what they are going through, we just love on them while we have the chance.  When we are gone we will remember them but what they really need is to be rescued from the life that awaits them.

  2. Tina,
    I am so very happy for you and Gary on the blessings God has givin you two this year and can not wait to see my new neice who looks a lot like you, and nephew who is a hansom little boy.
    We at church have been praying for your trips and the outcome. I know you do not know that one of our Pastors Fred had a stroke two weeks ago and when Larry and I went to see him today I told him your good news and you should of seen his face light up. He has great difficulty speaking but I could understand his "Great Praise the Lord".
    What a Blessing.
    Safe travels and see you all soon.
    Love Sherol
