I Have Been Loved

It is one of several mini dreams of last night.
It was part of a night's dream in bits and pieces,

and the forthcoming part is merely a piece                                                                                                                  
that is vivid enough to be shared. 

In the dream, I was on an assignment
to make a delivery of something that

I cannot remember. While at the delivery                                                                                                     
location, I became engrossed in 

conversing with various people until
I became stressed, as I was clearly

running behind in my schedule. I was
therefore forced to break away abruptly

only to discover that I had lost the lace in 
my shoes, and I could not walk in them.    

I tried  to improvise with other things that 
did not work. So I decided to check the 

store nearby for lace, although I doubted 
that they would have any.  Turns out, to 

my pleasant surprise, they had lace. In 
fact, only one pair left. The most telling 

and impressive thing about the store was 
that several workers at the store knew 

me by name and directed me to the lace 
that I so desperately needed.  Suddenly, 

my thirst for lace dissipated, and I became
overwhelmed with the expression of love

from the store's employees.  The dream
piece ended as abruptly as it had begun,      

and I found myself saying, "I have been 
loved everywhere I have been".                                                                

As I conclude this piece, I am fighting 
back the tears and being consumed with

the very thought of the love of God and
how awesomely good He has been to me.
