Dream Life

I had a dream in which I was enticing my granddaughter Naomi to play in the waves at a lake by making the sign of a fish (we use American Sign Language with her), which caused her to dive in, and so I dove in after to save her, but found that she was able to swim quite well.  So I just hovered nearby, and when I saw a dead rat lying on a pile of sticks and leaves the way you see debris floating on top of the water, I steered her away from it so as to keep her safe. I awoke with the conviction that she will be and is a swimmer in the living water, and my job is to entice her towards Christ (the fish), and to guide her and be near her. As for the rat, it made me think that the living water has a natural process of self-purification. It gathers up that which is waste and filth, and it hurls it to the shore so that we can swim in purity.
