I dreamt that I found money in my house. (This is unsual; usually even the prettiest jacket is broke!) I found a lot of change from my husband (he empties his pockets because it's too heavy); Also I had a lot of bills everywhere; I just gathered them and put them in my right pocket; the pocket was full. I have never had so much money, even though I did not know how much it was.

I wanted some privacy from my son, so I went in a quiet place: my bedroom. (He would want this and that and I would not be able to concentrate! I needed all my concentration, this was a lot of money! )

As I started sorting the money, red coins on one side, white coins, I noticed that I had 2 Dollar coins, 1 Dollar coins, 5 Dollar coins. (In Germany, before the Euro, while I was leaving there, they had a 2 Deutsche Mark coin, a 1 Deutsche Mark coin, and a 5 Deutsche Mark coin.) This is what my dream reminded me.

I noticed that the 5 Deutsche Mark coins were silver coins ! (now, "silver" means in French "silver" (the metal) but also "MONEY"; I noticed that this money came from people who were PAYING ME, but instead of paying me with good 5 Dollar coins they used twisted silver coins, you know the type of coin you will COLLECT because they are made out of SILVER, but since they are damaged, they have no collector's value, but do have the same street value as any other coin with the similar value.

I haven't had such dream in years!

... I woke up before I could find out how much I had!!!
Boy, talk about being frustrated all day!

Fun dream... I think the Lord is saying that blessing is coming to you and your house, which may not necessarily mean financial....


Blessings,

Maybe the money symbolizes prayers. You had to go into a private room to count your money, just as Jesus told us to "go into your closet and pray in secret", so you are storing up your treasures in heaven by praying in secret and not making a big show of it "to be seen by men" like hypocrites do and therefore recieve their reward by being seen..



That's just what it sounds like to me.



I mean, the hypocrites' only reward from our Father is that they get to be seen. There is no reward for them stored up in heaven, because they already got theirs by being seen. Does that make sense? (it does to me)

The money is worthless
The son is valuable

leave the blessings of being online and seek to knit the bonds with the son.

well, I don't think we are losing our heavenly blessings by being "seen online" because if our heart is in the right place, we are "not forsaking gathering together". My point was that the pharisees were greedy and were motivated by being popular rather than sincere (like alot of televangelists seem to be, but I won't name names).



The dream, I think represents (and I could be wrong) how our prayer relationship is likened to finding treasure and should be guarded as valuable in a spiritual, eternal sense rather than a sensual, temporal sense.

(or maybe I misunderstood what you meant, Bananna?)

I have a different interpretation of the money and the money is not a blessing it is just a token of its real value.

As mothers are isolated and often not give their rightful honor in our society we sometimes seek to have our acceptance from others on line. One can easiely spend time that God alotted for the children/family/husband with fellowship and loose the real treasure the heart of the son/husband/family.

The reason the money was bent and lost its value is because the people giving online to fill up her acceptance tank, did not really have her best interest at heart. They are taking the services without truly telling her what is really important. God is telling her what is important. It is not the money that she is hiding and counting while she shuts her son out.


It never pays to steal time from our families to fellowship on line. It devalues everyone.

I'm a divorced father and talk about not being given rightful honor, I've got a different story to tell about that. My experience is that some if not most women are given way too much honor.



My daughter's mother tells her that it's not a good idea for her to see me. I have spent 13 years struggling to spend time with my daughter (she lives a considerable distance from me) and she and the courts have completely undermined my attempts. She has my daughter so brainwashed that my daughter is convinced it's my fault for making her decide between my wishes to see her and her mom's wishes for her not to see me. I get so outraged when I try to talk about it that I get tunnelvision and just babble about it. She is a completely wicked person.



I found out recently that my daughter is having suicidal thoughts. My ex-wife has her doped up on some anti-depressant, and my daughter told me that she cuts her wrists. My adulterous ex and her adulterous "husband" just bought a beautiful 3-story house in the country. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment that my daughter has only seen once in 2 years because I can't afford the gas and all the extra energy it takes for me to travel after working fulltime and paying child support that is partially spent on my ex's other children that aren't even mine while my daughter is treated like Cinderella.



Some women (and men) get way too much "honor".



sorry, but that really hit a nerve.

I was thinking. The GERMAN money... While I was in Germany, I was unfairly treated (slandered, persecuted, discriminated, sued ) and lost a lot of money in my business. At the end, we could barely make it and were living with 150 Dollars per month, so we had to COUNT our money. Had we not left Germany, we would have starved there.

The bills in my dream were normal denomination US bills. I could not count them. A bill is far more than POCKET change (remember the change came from my husband POCKET).

It's a good sign, that blessings are coming my way. (The devil owes me a pile of money!

If the devil handed me a pile of cash I would spit in his face and tell him he's got something much bigger to worry about than trying to tempt me with his blood money.

... not if it was money he stole from you!

... I agree with Laurel. Anger leads nowhere. If you forgive her, you will feel better! And God will hear your prayers!

I'm sorry for lashing out like that. I am having a tough time right now and I spend time on other things to take my mind off of it and sometimes things remind me of how bad it is. Whenever I see a father with his young daughter it tears me up and my daughter doesn't understand how torn apart I am. But thanks for the support and understanding, I just wish she would understand while she's still young because I am missing so much. And I know that Jesus will make all things new, but it still hurts right now.



and I feel conflicted because I feel like I am being selfish because I know that my daughter is hurting too, but I am focused on myself too much, I guess, but it's tough to be able to comfort her when I am being pushed away, so it makes it a worse feeling and it just feeds back into itself like I'm in a whirlpool.
