It may have been a dream but is so poignant and powerful, Joyce, that I am sure it will speak into the reality of many. Very immediate and the scene-setting is right-there. I wouldn't be at all suprised if this wasn't a picture given to you by God which is an accurate depiction of something someone who will read this is or has been going through. Your dream, like Joseph's, is most likely prophetic... given to speak words of encouragement directly into someone's life. What a gift this is, and how loving. Bless you and thank you for your compassionate, listening heart. Kate xx

Breathless....you leave me breathless.

I have the Gift of Dreams/Nightvisions also, Miss Joyce..and they are not to be taken lightly. "His Sunday Best" is a soul-stirring revelation, that begs the reader to make the most of what time they are given, with those they love...and to be certain they also have the Cross as their Mainstay, should they be the remaining one.

God bless you, Sister Joyce.
Love&Hugs, Rhonda

Bravo! Excellent ... oh, so powerfully touching, dearest Joyce. Yes, yes, yes, He is there...with arms outstretched...waiting for us to come to Him. There are great messages in dreams. God speaks to us in dreams...I believe that strongly. The novels I write are triggered by dreams.
Oh, it sure is good to be back from holidays just to catch up on magnificent writes like this.

No wonder the writer could pen the words 'I will cling to the old rugged cross...'
A dreamer? With divine visitations and presented in a way such as this, dreamweaver is more appropriate.

Aemn! WONDerfuLLy written Joyce!
Glad I gravitated here for a long stay!
Missed your heart and soul!
This is a gem of a treasure
Reminds me of a few of wanting/longing and believing him being gone!
Those dreams do scare!
Happy it's not reality!
WE seem to get constant reminders to live life
without the big stuff getting in the way...

Have BETTER dreasm again!

I have had dreams almost like this. I too have wondered how I would exist without the man I love so much. None of us know what lies ahead ! I think we should live each day as it were our last. Sometimes its hard to do, because everthing is so common place and accepted. God is and was there for you! Great offering.....M

Joyce, whew...I'm glad this was a dream & not the real McCoy! I loved the way you brought in our faith in God & what it means to us. In your dream...your sub-conscious might be playing into the dream of a fear of you loosing a loved one and what would happen to you if something did. Giving all our strife & suffering to Him...we know we will make it in this life.

Death of a loved one is a sad trauma for anyone. While your poem is inspired by a dream, many of us have wondered what will happen to us if we lose someone who is very important in our lives. Your poem is a reminder that we can never take what we have for granted, but rather, spend our precious moments in shared happiness with those we love.

So very sad Joyce. This is a reality that we all will face someday. (If we outlive our mates). I don't know how women stand the pain of living alone once they have had someone to share everything with. The cross is our only hope of peace and solace. I am so very thankful for everyday I have my husband. My sister is losing hers and she is so frightened and terrified of being alone. She is a christian, but has been married over 50 years, since she was 17. God says he won't put anymore on us than we can bear, but, that cross sure gets heavy sometimes! You penned this perfectly!
