THIS WORLD IS NOT MY HOME!
I'm so glad I don't have to worry about what this world "is doing" or "is not doing"! I am thankful for my HOME on the other side, and for friends and family who are making the journey with me! Love you all!

Dreams
I was awakened this morning by a dream. We had gone to eat and my order was all wrong, and in the midst of trying to get it "figured out" with the owner I finally said to myself, "it's not worth it, just forget it".
We were having some big gathering, I think camp meeting. As I walked from the "eating place" back to where my husband was I noticed a large group of people gathered out under the stars. As I walked, it dawned on me that I had forgotten that I was to lead a "prayer service/devotion" for the ladies the next day. Oh my! I got in a "tizzy" real fast!!! "What am I going to say?" QUESTIONS started attacking my mind and just as I was getting all "up in the air" over it I heard a man say, "Look at the stars out there! Isn't the sky beautiful tonight?" Seeing the twinkling stars and how they lit up the black sky of night, immediately I started singing, "And I thank God for the Lighthouse. I owe my life to Him. For Jesus is the lighthouse, and from the rocks of sin...". As I sang, I heard as the "old gentleman" started harmonizing with me, then others joined in as we sang..."He has shown a light around me that I could clearly see. If it wasn't for the Lighthouse...where would this ship be?"
I then noticed an old friend of my parents sitting not too far from me, and as she wiped her eyes from "remembering the loss of my parents" I kept singing..."Everybody that lives around us, says to tear the Lighthouse down. The old ships they don't sail this way anymore, there's no use in them standing 'round. But then, my mind goes back to that stormy night when just in time I saw the light, it was the light from that old Lighthouse that stands out there on the hill."
I woke up! WOW! I have chills as I remember the feeling I had as I dreamed, and as I type I still feel the presence of the Lighthouse.
A "dark night", old friends, new friends...the "stars" who light the night, and the One who gives the "song"! What more could one ask for? Today...remember the "Old Lighthouse", and a friend. There is nothing more urgent than stopping to remember those you love and the One that loves you!
I thank God for the Lighthouse...I owe my life to Him!
