(Wednesday: The Fourth Day Of The Week!)

(From Beaumont, Texas)

Thank You, Lord for the dream You gave to me last night and for causing me to meditate upon it upon my bed this morning.  The dream showed people getting married.  One dream showed that I was mixture of myself and an actress named Terri Hatcher.  My Lord, purge me of all evil.  I do not want to have any pretending ways in me.  Actors are pretenders.  It seemed more like I had the spirit of Terri Hatcher, because I was thinking that I was so desirable.  When I looked at myself in the mirror, I recognized that this is how Terri Hatcher acts.  But I was a black woman.  The man that I was going to marry, I did not know too well, but I had thoughts about I could be a good wife to him.  He was a white man and his family did not like me, at all, because I was black.  There was a wedding party, I went to it, and the family of the man was behind a counter.  When I walked up to the entrance, to go behind the counter, one white woman, would not move and let me in, where the family was.  I did not try to force my way in, so I just turned around and left.  I heard the woman say in a real snobbish way, “Who’s that?”   She did not like me and she stared at me when I tried to get in, where the family was.  I knew that the family would not accept me, but I wondered would my husband forsake his family to be with me.  I walked away and went into a rest room to get dressed. 

A restroom symbolizes a place to get purged and washed.  The Word said that when a man and woman get married that they are to leave mother and father and that they two become one.  I know that many people cannot put family in the right place.  They get married, as they call it, but still cleave to family.  And they think that this is acceptable to God. 

Outside, the building we were in, I saw another couple getting married in the parking lot.  The wife was wearing regular clothes, but she had the bridal veil on her head.  I passed them by as I was trying to get to my wedding party.  As I passed them, they just finished the ceremony and kissed.  They had a few friends there with them, and no one knew what to do or say after the kiss, so I clapped my hands, in approval.  I was surprised to see that they got married in the middle of the parking lot, next to a busy street, but I was happy for them.  I gave the husband and the wife a thumbs up sign, and went on into my wedding party. 

They were a young couple.  And their friends were young, but once I clapped, they clapped and hugged each other.

My husband was an older man.  I knew that there was an age difference that people would not agree with, and then on top of that, there was a color difference. 

Love knows no age or color. Thank You, Lord for the remembrance of this dream!  Amen!

The Lord also spoke about how an older man marrying a younger woman can settle her.  The older man has more experience in how things are in the world.  He has been out there, so when he gets a young wife, he can guide her and settle her.  But when you send two rookies out there, who don’t know anything about the world,  and how it operates, who can help who? 

Looking at the people who were around the young couple, were they not all young people, too?  So, who could help who? 

All through the Bible, there are examples of older men marrying younger women.  Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah.  But people in these days frown upon that when they see an older man with a younger woman.  Frowning on a way that God has shown is frowning on the Lord Himself.  Amen.
