What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor human heart conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him. I Corinthians 2:9 NRSV
Back in the 1980s and 90’s, I had so many hopes and dreams. One was a nice barn for my horses. A barn made of wood and metal. I even asked for a barn up in heaven instead of a mansion.
One night, I had a dream that I was in heaven. I was standing at the end of a barn. My back was facing most of the barn while I faced the last six stalls. I felt that maybe those were stalls for my horses. I had six horses at the time.
I turned around and saw more stalls. Maybe 100 stalls altogether. But this stable was not made of wood and metal. It was made of emeralds and sapphires. The floor was somewhat white in color.
When I woke, I thanked God for having a better imagination than I did.
Years have passed since that dream. I lost two mares when they were in their 30s. A few weeks ago, I lost one of my beloved stallions, Chairo. He broke his hip. I purchased him and his mother when he was about a week old. He was in his late 20’s, so he gave me many special moments. Moments designed by God. Do you stop at the end of your day and think back to remember moments where God renewed your spirit? Where God gave your spirit new breath.
