Greetings in the Love of Jesus

I want to thank you for logging on, checking my blogs, and being interested in what the Spirit is saying. Many of you also hear from the Holy Spirit. It is a blessing to see that you come from all over the United States, and all over the world. We belong to a very large family. This program does not let me insert pictures, such as smiley faces, but if it did, I'd put a big smile in this one.

Dave and I are going on a road trip tomorrow to meet a new family member. She was actually the first-born in my family, born in 1944. But since we had different mothers, she was kept a secret from me and my siblings for over 16 years. Now that we've found each other it is exciting to finally get to meet her. I'd like to share a little about how the Lord saw the experience of our meeting, for He saw it before I did, and shared it a few years ago in a dream.

My mother has always urged us to ask our father about our 1/2 sister so that we could meet her. He was ashamed and never shared anything about her. In 2007 the Lord gave me this dream: My mother asked me to remove tiles that were cemented over a porch floor and wall of our house. She said they never should have been put on. As I removed the tiles, I found an opening into the base of the front wall of the house. I stuck my hand in and found a shoe box full of old papers and photographs. "These look important," I thought. I put my hand back in the hole and a baby shoe dropped into it, with a spur on it. That was the end of the dream.

The next year I met my 1/2 sister over the internet. She was curious to see pictures of the father and siblings she had never met. I found these in an old shoe box, scanned them in and emailed them to her. Since my father had passed away in 2007 they never met. The spur on the baby shoe represented my 1/2 sister being "spurned", as sometimes children were back in the days when she was born. I recognized the house in the dream as the same house my father grew up in, for I saw it in the same pictures I was scanning into my computer to send to my 1/2 sister.

It is a remarkable experience for the Lord to show something to us in a dream, ahead of its time. He wants to prepare us for what will come, and give His perspective on the event. He was showing me that something that never should have been covered over would be revealed. This has given me an opportunity to make a wrong thing right, welcoming our 1/2 sister into our family along with my other siblings.

Perhaps some of you have had dreams also where the Lord prepared you for something ahead of time. This has been part of my walk with the Lord for almost 40 years and something I seldom take the space on this site to share. But if you have an interest in learning about how the Lord talks to us in dreams, or want to share your own expereinces, please write. Let me know if you'd like me to post your blog, or not. I have never posted what any of you have written, but would do so if you wanted me to, for the benefit of others. God is a fantastic God and we should learn from each other's experiences with Him. Amen.

I'm taking my computer with us so will keep in touch. God bless, and have a great week end. Helen
