DREAM: 1
I was looking at a house and it was somewhat updated with a breakfast bar in kitchen where you could see both to look out beautiful windows in living room and kitchen windows to right next to kitchen. A lovely wrap around porch that began at front door and went around half the house. 2
A rock garden with odds and ends of old hand painted china and colored crystal left behinnd from what looked like an estate sale with the price tags still on. I was surprised nobody bought as priced for ten and fifteen cents. Although, perhaps, nobody had ever taken time to walk around there to see. A beautiful castle type or bay window type place in outer structure was built into wrap around porch with a bench which I'd never seen done on a porch before. The rock garden began where the wrap around porch ended where this bench was. Steps from the wrap around porch led into the rock garden. 3
The house was Victorian style and brick and only had one owner (a very spiritual woman who loved God). House had three layers of composition style roofing the color of faded red. 4
Lynn was with me and said he'd help me buy and I said to realtor, "Oh I forgot to ask about the disclosures. Does the house have any problems?" The realtor sheepishly said, "Well, the central heat and air doesn't work and the woman who owned before was diabetic and there are needles in the carpet so be careful vacuuming. (I don't know if that is possible...just what realtor said in dream.) I saw the paper work which said house built in 40's." 5
It was same season of year as this with winter approaching so I said..."The diabetic needles in carpet don't bother me as I'd just be careful and likely pull up carpet as I love wood floors. However, I don't know if I can buy since no heat because it is about to be winter and buying house I wouldn't have money to repair heating and cooling. Let me calculate." 6
Lynn chimed in and said, "The needles are no problem as I'll get a roofer to come by with one of their magnet sweepers to sweep through the house to pick up the needles like they do yard around a house after roofing a house to pick up nails. You have been wanting to replace your house for years so I'll just go on and buy this home for you as you said you feel a spiritual connection to woman who owned. I do too and this house was meant for you." 7
Realtor said, "If we'd thought about having a roofer come in to sweep house for needles with magnet they use to pick up nails after a roofing job the house would have cost $30,000 more, however, since the listing price is $39,000, and you thought of and we didn't... offer still stands. However, if you don't sign contract today...house will be $69,000 tomorrow." 8
Lynn bought house and I went up to attic as the house felt like filled with so much spiritual prayer and, like a magnet, I felt drawn to explore my new home. 9
I found an old large hand painted milk can filled with old bills from every year from the 40's...(around $50,000). Milk can of money from every year for sixty years had a note inside. 10
Note said..."Your prayers have been answered...I collected this money for many years for whoever bought this house when I went to heaven. I prayed someone who loved this house as much as me and was very spiritual would buy my house. So this money is for you as I know by now the house is old and in need of repair. I never could decide what color of roofing to replace and I thought you might like to. My only request is that you pray everyday that people always believe in miracles "and" that you don't tell anyone about the money in milk can as sometimes people cannot see beyond the money to the miracles. The miracle is you saw the loving spirit I left in my house...because you could see beyond with your deep faith. Pray that everyone's faith will be like a magnet to be drawn to and see their miracles and blessings. IF you ONLY believe then you will see." 11
I had the inside of house painted milk white with trim glossy pastel rose pink (the same color of faded red roof). I pulled up the carpet which had protected beautiful honey colored hardwood floors. I picked the same pastel rose pink color for the roof. 12
I decided to dust off the hand painted milk can with the Hibiscus on front to bring downstairs and place next to front door to place my umbrella for rainy days inside. I noticed on the bottom of milk can, painted in pastel rose pink, a scripture from Exodus 3:8. "I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite." 13
Did I mention that on the day of closing that a florist delivery van pulled up from "The Land of Milk and Honey" florist shop that woman who owned house had once owned? As delivery person walked up I noticed person was carrying a Hibiscus the same color of Hibiscus hand painted on milk can. The first Hibiscus delivery of every year on the same day of closing on her house as she had prearranged I was told. I opened card envelope and inside was a card with the scripture Mark 9:23 "Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to we who believe." I believe that dream was a Godsend. Thank you.

Above my dream predawn November 23, 2005.
I love when I have detailed dreams. I could vividly see all that happened. Lynn said he loves when he's even a genius in someone else's dreams (to think of roofing magnet to sweep house for needles in carpet). Hugs and prayers, SEA
A Land of Milk and Honey
And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey: unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
-- Exodus 3: 8 (KJV)
It is said that God answers prayer in his own time and finally my dream of owning my own home again was answered in this beautiful dream. Thank you Lord for this dream for I know that this is man's world and we are not puppets and You want things to go perfectly for all people. Yet sometimes man gets in the way of your plans insisting on his own way and that is the only reason why things don't always go as You plan. You didn't make puppets and man has freewill that sometimes throws a monkey wrench into God's plans.

God Bless You and Me A LOT
This piece and my Pixiku poetry are what I am most proud of now. Thanks for all your kind comments. I am not on ap much anymore because I still have the same computer which every day is a bit slower as is ten years old. I have missed having you read everything I write. Please don't have your feelings hurt if I don't read all yours now. I don't even post many poems now because of four required comments with slow response it takes me about an hour just to do four comments for each piece I write. I am so glad you are okay and you graduated and things are going well for you. My prayer, Sara Dawn, is that things just keep getting better and better for you every day. Amen and Amen -
How wonderful that God answered your prayer in a dream, thats awesome
... God does answer prayer in his own time and its great that you finally got your answer. I enjoyed reading this. There are not many spiritual poets here anymore like there once seem to be. Again, Great Story, Kinda gives you a whole new meaning with the saying, "Dreams come True!" Sara Dawn

What a beautifully written story of heart and love and legacy! There truly are more miracles in heaven and earth than we can ever intellectually fathom, but the Spirit knows them all. This is just lovely!

Darling Pixie, What a wonderful dream to have, I hope it's a sign that you'll find the home you want. It was as though it was a message from that dear lady that owned the house.
Dreams do come true Pixie
Love AAAJ

Beautiful Dream
What a wonderful dream! In my past 61 years I've owned homes and all the other amenitites of this earth. Today, I have nothing of my own; yet, God has promised me a mansion in heaven for the 1000 years we will be there; AND, a home on the new earth that I "will build and no one else will live in it" with gardens I "will plant and no one else will eat of it." The same as saying that no one can take away from us what the Lord gives us. In this temporary world, "taking away" from us is a common, greedy pasttime.
Lots of love and hugs, B♥nnieQ

This is a beautiful story and if it is a dream, that is even more beautiful. The detail that you have retained is incredible, the harmony of milk and honey in the house colours and the delivery truck sound like a meaningful coincidence. I hope that this predicts good things for you, or that even now, there is an opportunity before you.
I thought that some of the sentences were roundabout, particularly in the description at the beginning.
