Dreams

Maria recently posted about her dream.. so I thought I would share one I had last night.

I will skip the confused jumbled part and get to the good part.

A bunch of friends and I were at a party of sorts in a house where there were some good and not so good things going on. I had come into possession of a gold coin. (Probably dreamed about the coin b/c last night before going to bed I watched The Bishop's Wife with Cary Grant, and he was an angel and gave one of the characters an old Roman coin.)

Well, as my dream friends and I came into a difficult situation at this gathering, I looked down in my palm and the coin's face began to show letters. I can't now remember what it said, but it was scriptual and was a message on how to discern that very situation and what to do/say. It changed 5 or 6 more times as the situation changed, and I showed it to two or three trusted friends, and they and I knew it was from God. Oh was a treasure, what a feeling to know God was guiding me directly like that.

Now that I think of it, the movie had a lot of influence on my nocturnal wanderings, as David Niven, the bishop, had a lot of decisions to make and the Cary Grant angel was sent to help him, but nobody knew he was an angel except the bishop. I know the bishop would have loved to share this with his wife, but could not. In my dream my faith-filled friends validated, so it was the best of all worlds... we had God guiding each step in some precarious social situations.

What a nice dream! And having Cary Grant in it was icing on the cake. I really like him. :)

(P.S. for those of you confused about the 'bishop' having a wife... it was Church of England. Boy, watching David Niven struggle with his personal life, his spiritual life, trying to build a cathedral, cowtow to the rich patron, and admit he had no time for his flock... makes me even more thankful we don't have married priests!)
