It's a Wonderful Life

I had a dream several weeks ago. I usually don't remember much about my dreams, and when I do it's usually wacky. This one really made me stop and think, though. In my dream, I was about to be killed by some thugs/gang/something. They told me that I had 5 minutes to write a note to the people that I loved. I started writing as fast as I could. I remember that I wrote probably normal stuff to my husband, my parents, my friends...I told each one how much I loved them, and how they had made my life richer. What has really stuck with me, though, is what I wrote to Jerrel, Patrick, & Dailey. I told them how proud I was of them, and begged them to please let Jesus rule their lives and use their potential. I told them to be "God's kids," no matter what. I woke up a little shaken, but with a renewed commitment to keep what's really important in mind. Nobody really cares what my GPA was, how clean my house is, or even how active I am in my church (gasp ;-) I want to show Jesus to those around me, and especially help those precious little ones to know Him.
