Early this morning, I had a powerful dream. We were celebrating my parent's anniversary at a large auditorium and although both my parents are passed away...they were there, in the backround watching this event. Us 'sisters' were wearing partial wedding dresses (don't ask me how...you know how dreams are!)
Each of us children were there to either rededicate our marriage or to somehow rededicate our lives in some way. When it was my turn to speak, I held the microphone and standing before a great crowd of people, I asked for God to give me what my parents had, 'The Real Thing'. As I looked out at the audience, many heads were nodding in agreement to my request of God. I shared with the audience that I wear my mother's gold wedding band on my right ring finger and as I was twirling it, I said that I want what she had...that she had worn this ring confidently...secure in the love of their marriage. We left shortly after my speech to go to a reception with our friends to celebrate.
I believe asking God for 'The Real Thing' in front of this crowd meant that I not only wanted (and do want) an earthly love like my parents had...but I believe that request goes even deeper than that. We Human Beings are made for Love...and yet somehow, we get side-tracked with the demands of life....kids, work, bills to pay, deadlines to keep.
If the 'Well Within Us' is not filled to overflowing with Love...we run dry and life becomes difficult, if not impossible.
It is my encouragement to you to do whatever it takes to fill first your own Well. Then your Life begins to flow, as your Well overflows and touches all the people you come in contact with.
What fills your Well? Is it music? Exercise? Connecting with a friend? How about connecting with God? Prayer, Meditation, Silence or Music...whatever works for YOU!
I bring you this today...because I had NO IDEA, until my sister just texted me...that today is my Parent's Anniversary!
After I received her text...all I could say was, "WOW!" I hadn't thought about their anniversary for a long time and frankly... forgot which day it was. What a special treat I was given in dreaming that dream on their anniversary morning!
I want to encourage you to ask for, and settle for nothing less than, 'The Real Thing'...which is True Love!
