In the Midst of the Deluge

Rain yesterday morning, and probably today in upstate NY, and a possibility of SNOW. Yes. SNOW. Why does anyone live north of the Mason-Dixon Line? However, since it was an unexpectedly nice afternoon yesterday, I finished raking my folks' front and side yards. Then the wind picked up, and with the new onslaught of leaves wrenched from the trees, it hardly looked like I had done anything. There was a deluge of new leaves to be raked.The world is like laundry - it requires constant upkeep.

This is my last day in NY, unless I get snowed in. I hate leaving, but I also miss my dear daughter and hubby back home (and my beloved doggies.)It is a long drive, so I intend to take two days, and maybe stop and visit some beautiful sight along the way. I am always sad leaving my folks. I wish they lived closer. But to comfort my heart, I had a most amazing dream, a first ever for me of this sort.

I dreamt I saw Jesus.

I don't remember any of the circumstances at all, and I don't remember what He looked like in my dream. Given the circumstances of the day, one would imagine I dreamt of Him with a giant, cosmic rake. Lord knows, that is all that would begin to make a dent on the forest of leaves in my folks' backyard. But I don't think He had a rake. All I remember was He was in the center of whatever was going on (how I wish I could remember what that was!) and He glowed, like a light source. I awoke right after the dream, and was filled with joy. I don't recall that He *did* anything...He was just there. And knowing He was there in the midst of it all transformed the frigid, dark night into a glowing, warm nucleus of peace, and hope.

The Lord sat as King over the deluge; the Lord [still] sits as King [and] forever! The Lord will give [unyielding and impenetrable] strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace. (Psalm 29:10, 11 AMP)
