Behold a dream in the night season of the season of man ...and an reckoning of feeding ..giving drink and healing ...of The Word ...and of hearts ...
and i found mineself in a place ...that seemed quite different to me ...like in an city ...afar off ...teeming with peoples ...and yet i was like alone ...and was seeking work ...of any measure ...that i might have increase enough ...that my family might join me ...to live in that place ...to have shelter there ...clothes ...and food ...enough in that city to have a "living" there ...
and i was somewhat unnerved by being there and in this city ...for of truth ...i have never liked any city of man ...neither felt comfortable enough in any ...to remain in any city of man very long ...
Yet like was shown me this city seemed quite different ...
Nevertheless it seemed within the dream ...i had nowhere else to live ...and would have to make do ...and to try and find some employment ...so that mine family might come also to join me... in this city that seemed quite different ...
and i found mineself looking for employment ...and taking a job ...at what might be shown ...as a family restaurant ...where food and drink are served to peoples ...quickly ....like unto a "fast food" restaurant ...yet again an "family resturaunt" as it was owned and kept by a man and his family ...and was a very worthy place ...plain ...and clean ...with worthy food and drink ...and the peoples that helped there were a happy people ...for the owner was a goodly ...fair ... just ...honest and an exceedingly generous man ...and one who loved the truth ...
Nevertheless in such places i had worked before ...when i was in my youth ...though plainly i had never worked in such a pleasant place as this ...or for such a man as this before ...for he seemed ...kind and heartfull for all who helped him ...like each one was also part of his family ...and so it was ...
and the man that owned the restaurant ...did invite me to stay as helps in his restaurant ...and that gladly ...for he had watched me work and thought my work worthy ...
Nevertheless i somewhat thought ..how can i bring my family here ...and have habitation here ...making only the wages paid for working in an restaurant ...as a helper ? ...for it seemed to me to be an unpossible thing ...
Yet i remained working still ...and prayed to God and Christ ...if this be within their will and the way i should go ...and if i lived ...then to make an open show of measures and matters ...so that i might know that this place and this doing was "worthy within the will of God" ..for to me it seemed unpossible ..
and behold my family appeared from afar off to join me ...and were as travelers ...awaiting on the road ...seeking to find a place of living and rest ..from their journey ...and i greeted them all with heartfullness ...hugs and kisses and joyfull jumping ...for it had been ...or it seemed an long time ...since we all were brought together ...and i was filled with gladness at the seeing of them ...
Yet still i thought ...of mine own thinking ...how will we make it ?...on so little wages as might be made ...of me working in an restaurant ? ...where shall we live ?
Now in the midst of all this... my family gathering up and together again ...did the owner of the restaurant ask if i could come back to work ...(for he had given me some time to greet and gather up with my family) ...and he said to me that he would help me in any way ..he was able ...to have habitation and to remain with him ...in his family restaurant ...and even that he had another matter to discuss with me ...and asked if we could talk and walk one with another ...and i said yea !
So it was that i returned to the restaurant to work ...and to see what the owner would have to talk with me about ...
And behold ...when i went in ...when i entered in to the restaurant ...the mans son ..was speaking the true gospell of God and Christ ...and so much so that all who came there ...were filled ...and that exceedingly ...and the place was overflowing with right gladness ...and joy over flowing ...and the peoples ...and moreso many and many more peoples came to the place ...so much so that the place shook with the fullness of heartfull rejoicing ...for to drink in the Word of God and Christ and to eat the meat of it ...and i was astounded !!!
and i knew that every thing was going to be peacefull and worthy for my family ...and that a place would be prepared for us ...to have an habitation ...
and so i began to help in the place as was my heart to do ...cleaning cups to be filled ...setting tables to be eaten at ...washing vessels that might be used to prepare the food ...cleaning the paths where any might walk ...opening windows to let in the Son light and fresh air ...preparing places for peoples to sit at the table ...getting waters ...for any to drink ...boiling the bread (for there was nothing leaved served) ...serving wine ...making salads of green things (the living) and preparing the meat ...for any to eat ...whether by fire ...or slow cooking ...
whatsoever was called upon me to do ...that i did ...and gladly ...full heartedly ...
Now the owner of the restaurant ...came to me and said ...leave off of this helping .and come with me .for i have a matter to show and to discuss with you ...
Nevertheless i felt somewhat concerned for my family who waited for me ...and desired that i might go home with them ...and so i said ...as you have asked...i will do ...i will go with you and look to these measures ...that you would have me look to ...nevertheless my family waits on me ...and they would like me to come home with them ...
and the owner said to me ...we will look to that also ...yet come now for i have another matter for you to measure ...before ...and so i went with him ...
And Behold i found mineself in an office of a physician ...and it was ...and the owner appeared to me in an physicians coat ...for it was his office ...and i was astounded ...
and i stood there with him ...in his office ...and he perceived the questions of mine heart ...as wondering what this was all about? .
and he asked me plainly ...for my heart over a matter ...and he said of himself ...that he had been in the war ...and had been like a medic in the war ...and that he had learned and understood much ...of what was needed to keep people alive ...when any had been injured in the war ...
Yet said he ...it was so ...now ...that he might look to becoming a physician ...and he asked what discernment i had of the matter ...
and quickly of heart i offered words that might be worthy ...saying this ...i seems to me that your Son has all the measures and matters of feeding the peoples in hand ... and that of all things and matters and measures of matters ...He is able ...to do any and all things that the people might have nurture ...of water bread wine and meat ...even all things needed for health sake ...and there appears to be plentious helps for him also ...and worthy peoples who also have hearts to help your Son ...in and of all things needed ...
so it seems to me ...that you ...might then...be able...to look to this matter of becoming and physician ...that the peoples might be healed from any affliction ...
Nevertheless said i ...do this thing only of prayer and ask God ...if it be his will for you to do this thing ...and if so then surely you will be "in"abled to accomplish it ...by his hand ...
and in an instant ...i found mineself traveling again with this kind and gentle and generous one ...and he asked me then ...He said ...you must now decide ...if i should take you home now ...or whether you will stay the more ...and come home with your family ...?
and i held the matter to my heart ...even as though my heart stopped to take the matter in ...and my heart wept tears of Joy ...at His asking ...and said if it seems worthy too you ...and is allowed ...my heart is this that i remain awhile still and come home with the others ...
and so the owner turned the way back and took me to be with my family again ...that we all come home together ...
and i prayed the more of weeping thankfull heart for God and Christ ...for the showing me these things and opening to me their loving kindness mercy and ever heartfull caring for me ...
