Gift
I am standing outside a shop looking in the window. I am wearing a heavy winter dress that is made of a soft velvet type material. I have a long red cloak on with the hood over my head. There is snow on the ground around me but not around my feet. There is a circle of green grass around my feet which are bare. In the window I see a Christmas tree with lights and decorations. I see a big long table with food and candles. I watch as people enter the room and begin to welcome one another and begin to sit at the table. I look down at my feet and turn to my right. I began to walk away from the window, as I walked the snow began to disappear all around me. Green spring like grass began to spring up all around me. As I walked away the wind picked up and it began to snow again, and this time the wind began to blow hard. I pulled the hood of my cloak over my face as I walked. It got so windy and hard that it was hard to see, but I kept walking. I looked up for just a moment and I saw a flickering light, it looked like a small flame from a candle. I stopped and tried to focus on it in the flying snow. I looked behind me but my tracks and the green grass where covered in snow. I sighed and just watched the flame for a moment. I felt distant and reluctant to move towards the flame. I then saw the Spirit walk out of the flame towards me in the blowing snow. His eyes where like a clear/whitish fire. His hair whiter then the snow. His white robe blew in the wind and his hood covered his head. He came up to me and asked "what are you doing out here child?" I looked back towards where I could only guess was where the building had been, then back at my feet. He put his hand on my shoulder and said "you will soon learn to leave those feelings behind, for they are not true." I looked down at the ground, but He lifted my head and kissed my forehead. I felt warmth and comfort flow through my body. He looked me in the eyes and said "your dream is a reality...it just might not look the way you want it to." He took my hand and said "come let me show you." We walked towards the flickering light. I began to feel the warmth from the small glow as we got closer. We stopped in front of the flame which even standing in front of it was hard to see with all the blowing snow. It was a small decorated candle on a white pedestal. I reached out to touch the flame and the next thing I saw was a table I had seen before in heaven. It was a long long table. Only this time the people at the table I knew. They where all laughing and talking. Sharing food and drink together. The Spirit and I walked this long table to the far end. At the head of the table sat "I Am", Jesus at his side on the left. I noticed the empty chair next to "I AM" that was always waiting for me. "I AM" motioned for me to come and sit by him. The Spirit pulled out my chair and I sat down. I took the hood off my head and watched as those closest to me laugh and talk with Jesus and each other. "I AM" touch my hand and he said "I know what you have been thinking, and I feel every thing you do." He had a folded blanket next to him on the table and he pushed it over to me and he said "family is more then what you understand, you understand the physical form. But I tell you child, all of you where paid for by the same blood...you all came under the same inclusion and adoption." He gestured to those at the table and said "this is your family...the one thing you have longed for, searched for....ached for. Just because you where not "born physically" into this family doesn't mean they are not your family. You...all of them, they are my kiddos" he smiled when he said kiddos. He stood and took the corners of the folded blanket and held it up. It was a woven tapestry it was of a tree and each leaf had a name on it. I stood and walked over to the tapestry and touched it. I looked at every detail and I covered my mouth and began to cry. My name was on a leaf in the middle and it was surrounded by all the names of my friends. At the base of the tree was a stream. "I AM" folded the tapestry and gave it to me. He said "the family I have brought you into is more then what you understand. These are your brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers....you don't have to keep searching child, you already have it. You are loved way more then you know. Even by those who you have not seen face to face. You have been woven into a tapestry that cannot be undone. And each person plays a part in supporting, lifting up and loving the other." He reached out and pulled me close, he wrapped his arms around me and held me tight and said "you are not alone....I would never let that happen." He kissed my forehead and held me tighter.
