Well that happened to me this morning. I woke up from a dream, not too uncommon, but definitely not typical to have the dream I had. Although it didn't feel like a dream, it felt very real!!
My Papa, Mema, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Andy, Uncle Dennis, Grandmother, Grandfather, Uncle James, Jaron, Baby Salinas & my daddy were all in this dream. Oh and my adopted grandpa, Ray was there too! We sat around a table eating a really yummy breakfast. We talked, they all asked about everyone in the family. They said they can see us, but when something bad happens, they turn away.
My Grandma told me that she is really proud of my mom, "punkin & baby punkin". I told my Grandpa that I missed his Tugboat spaghetti & him helping me peel my shrimp! I couldn't talk to everyone, but I gave Jaron & Baby Salinas a kiss and a hug and told them mommy misses them & Aunt Bo too. My daddy gave me a grin, tilted his head back and chuckled. He said that Jayden is so big and he's a handful! He hugged me super tight, just the kind of comfort I needed and that's when I woke up.
It was a Little Piece of Heaven in the most perfect time. I may not have the most perfect life, but it's the perfect life for me. Even when life gets you down, God picks you and your pieces up and reminds you while you're still here. I don't call those types of dreams a coincidence, but rather that God wanted, needed me to see that!!!
I miss my family terribly, but I know that that's apart of my sinful nature, I also know that I'm going to be surrounded by my family again one day in Heaven and until then, I have to keep spreading the news of Jesus Christ.
God Bless each of you!
