I had a dream last night that I only remember a part of.

My hubby and I was walking down the frozen food lain in a store. A women was coming my way holding out a hand piching a penny between her fingers. She had been worrind so much so that she didnt even take note of what others hand infront of her. She couldnt even buy staples, and had a hafe carten of eggs, and hafe a box of butter, and hafe a bag of the cheapest breat she could find. Worried how in the world she is going to feed her family.

Now just before that we had but some stuff in our cart but it wasnt a lot, and it was only staples as well. But I looked down and the amount I had was a greater amount then I had first put in. It was like it grow in the cart. I wasnt worried. I seen in far behind this women, two other people doing the same. Each one had a small amount in their carts, and worried looks on their faces, giving not time to what others are having in their carts for the deep worry their had of their own.

I noted this because when growing up we where on walfar, and so many around me that was on this could work but aways talked about "what was owned them" Like getting free hand outs was their right even though they could work. I remember my own mother talking think this, and getting great job out of tricking others out of what was theirs by lies she told. There is a behavor I keeped seeing over and over again in these kinds of people. Of sinnng in their hearts against others that do worked really really hard for what they have. But those I seen pinching their pennys was diffrent. They are the ones being layed off, and have not job to work, so they are trying to come up with ways to make their money go farther.

So, when I seen those people I was as well kind of shocked that I didnt get all scard to about it and end up doing just what the others where. So, because of this dream. I told my hubby about it. It being a pretty cool dream at less on how I was taking it in the dream. Not focusing on my own struggles but on others...and no worries about if we where going to be able to eat. I told my hubby that my main goal was to always be able to feed my child, that it would be the one thing I would being truely angry at if I couldnt do that because of others.

Well he thought tha was a pretty cool dream and said that he had heard something about anothers struggles as well. He told me of a women that family was layed off as well. That she went through all their finances to see how long they could make things stratch. AT the same time her and her husband was going into their own ministry. She was like really depending on G-d for things to last for that time. All the family sat down and talked about it, and came up with knowing they could last for 2 months with what they had if they pulled together to make it work. But she took the time to ask G-d, saying we can do this G-d but we need your help with two things, Mike and bread. So she was trusting G-d for those two things. Well, the next day A farmer asked her to come to his farm. He told her that he stops buy a local bakery to buy day old bread to feed his cows, and if she needed any she could just help her self. She was told to get as much as she wanted out of a truck. She openned the truck and it was filled all over with lots and lots of bread. She got as much as she wasnted. Filled with joy she told the farmer that it was an answer to her prayers she just asked G-d the night before to take care of. Well she told him that they where in need of all that bread she was able to get from him as well as some milk. He stopped her and said, oh you are in need of Milk too. Well, He told her that he has to through out about 10 gallens of milk a week and can have that to is she was in need of it.

I got so exsited about this as well that I had that dream about the pinching pennies. I know it was a G-d thing and would wright it down. I hope you all feel stronger in faith by these stories as well as I did.

It is a good dream peacemaker..I would also add this. Sometimes God takes everything away to teach faith. We have to rely on him..and we finally learn how weak our faith has been. One of the ladies that comes to my prayer group is provided for in ways you mentioned. She is one that works .. supports others and gives her widows mite. She is a blessing.
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one.

Thanks for adding that Miki. I love the widdows mite story in the bible. I love the painting of it as well.

I can also see this as being a political take on how those that are losing their lay-off pay because the govement wouldnt renew it. Those that are out of work arent going to see all the 'good stuff' the goverment is saying they are doing for our own good...they are only going to see that they have to feed their loved ones and cant because they have no jobs.

I cant help it, but think it is time for a flat taxe, and to get ban that penilty taxe on those that dont buy insurance. They should outlaw Communist, Socialist, Marxist junk that are being brount into the goverment as they are doing now! I am tired of the lies!


I am wondering just who far they will get with all of this befor the people start kicking them out! :ph34r:
