Wishing for Heavenly Dreams

It’s snowing outside. About time! It looks good to me. It warms my heart to see those huge white flakes come down.

I thank the Lord that I have been having better sleep the last couple of days. I’ve been taking melatonin. I think that is the reason. Now I just need to improve my dreams. I want dreams that are more godly, more heavenly. That would be so great. Maybe when I start writing my new book on heaven that will happen. I’m so excited about it. I’m still in the reading and note taking stage. Soon I will be ready to start writing. And, as usual I will be blogging all along as I write.

In my daily bible reading I’ve been noticing more and more passages on heaven. Hebrews 11 is that way. Each faith character mentioned has a heavenly goal—they looked for a better place, a heavenly city. And that moved them ahead through all their suffering. They looked not for earthly comfort, but for the hope of heaven. And even Christ endured the cross for the joy set before Him. I would like to have dreams of heaven and dreams where I am rejoicing in my anticipation of heaven.

  1. Just a thought, Stephen. In my bedroom, near my nightstand, I have a simple (cheap) CD player that can play a music CD, repeatedly, until I turn it off, so that my wife and I can hear reverent Christian music all night long (with the volume not up too loud), such as traditional hymns (How Great Thou Art, Old Rugged Cross, Blessed Assurance, And Can It Be?), sung by choirs or quartets or just instrumental music. Gentle hymns help me/us to have good dreams–sometimes I even dream that I am praying or sharing the Gospel. And, during December, we played Handel’s MESSIAH many times, at night, as we slept.
