No Chair for Me

I dreamt that I walked into church, and many of my family members were there, but there was no chair for me. I went looking for a chair, but all the empty ones were being saved for someone else. So I was directed to a storeroom where there were stacks of chairs, but when I got there, the chairs disappeared. The service was starting, I was off on a wild goose chase, and still, no chair for me.

This stinks. Even in my dreams I manage to feel all alone and like I just don't make the cut. Am I just a hopeless nut or does everyone feel this way? Excluded, abandoned, unloved...no room made for me even in church where God is supposed to love everyone?

Meanwhile, Honeybun is on drugs. Her sneezing and paw licking had reached an intolerable level. We had to do something or the pollen was going to end her agility career. Her pads were getting raw from all the licking. I hate to drug my dog. I am a firm believer that the body is designed to heal itself. But like the chair that wasn't ever going to be set out for me, I had to admit defeat on the drugged dog issue too. She needed better living through pharmaceutics. Then my phone died, but that might be on the plus side of the day's ledger because I was due for an upgrade and I got the iPhone which is probably what I should have gotten in the first place.

But why no chair for me? I thought about the dream and wished I could remember the conclusion. I remember it was a revelation of sorts and I fell asleep thinking I need to write this down. But I didn't write it down, and now I don't remember how it ended. All I remember was the sorrow of no chair for me.

The Bible would strongly differ with my dream, at least the part of my dream that I remembered. God says that He desires that not one of us be lost, not one of us be excluded.All are invited to His mansion. It is our choice to accept the invitation or not. All have rooms reserved, and my guess is, everyone of us will have a chair to hang our halo.

Acts 27:22
But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because not one of you will be lost; only the ship will be destroyed.

John 18:9
This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: "I have not lost one of those you gave me."


Matthew 22:9
So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.
