a dream from last night...
i heard very faint music at first, and i thought i recognized it. it seemed comforting.
then i begin to hear some words, "turn on your heart light". as i hear this i see
a brown teddy bear. the teddy bear is holding a flash light.
next part...
the missionary came to visit me. he came with people in a white van
and they all wore white. the were busy setting things up. i was sitting
with another friend that had come for the "meeting". we were sitting
on fold out chairs when the van arrived. i was trying to tell the other
friend who these people were...i was surprized to see them.
the missionary came over and hugged me. i started to cry, i was so
happy to see him again. he started to talk to my friend who remained
seated. i couldn't hear what they were saying, but it was an introduction.
i pointed out some other people that i knew..."this one manages the house".
the last time i thought about "heart light" a friend of mine, a missionary was in the
hospital, and they called me his next of kin. he was like a grand father to me in
the faith. he rallied while i was there, and he smiled.
that red glow on the tip of his finger reminded me of this song. that was over
12 years ago. he died that night as his 86 year old heart stopped, he was promoted
(that's what he called it, a promotion). i was honored to be a pall bearer with his two sons.
no one came, just us three and an attendant. we had our service at the cemetary.
this man followed the Lord before there was a Moody, or Revell Bible publishers.
he knew them. he carried hand presses and packed a donkey with
printing press, learned the languages as he went through
Burma and the Levant, in the 30's . he printed hand bills
of the New Testament, and many came out
from the villages and were saved.
he stepped out in faith,
and God met him
and sent him around the world...
turn on your heart light now
let me know.
blessings,
signet
