So, Monday night I had this weird dream about my uncle John, who isn't really my Uncle, but my Dad's first student he ever taught he is like 13 years older than me, so he became uncle John cuz my parents spent alot of time with him.. He is a really good friend of the families we all call him FISH as an affectionate nickname and we buy him fish themed stuff every year for Chirstmas (not sure why this is he doesn't fish)... anyhoo... so once when I was around 2 yrs old. we went to the fair and uncle john came with us. I was eating an ice cream cone and he asked for a bite and he ate the whole thing in one bite! This is a funny family story that has been told for YEARS... Ok so I had this dream that we were at the fair and I'm about 5 yrs old and Uncle John is saying that I can fly and I laugh at him and deny that I can fly cuz I don't have wings. He keeps trying to tell me i can if i only believe I can. So we are walking around and we see the ferris wheel and we go ride on it. When we get to the top we stop and he asks me if I trust him. I tell him yes and he bets me that I can fly. I tell him no, but he says I'm gonna throw you off the ferris wheel to prove to you you CAN fly if you only believe.So he throws me out of the seat and I can fly. I land on the ground so happy and excited that I can in fact fly! I look back up at the seat to smile and yell up to Uncle John and he is no where to be found in the seat. I ask the ride operator to bring down the seat to see if I can see him hiding from me... when the seat comes down all that is left is a half ate icecream cone and a sign that says "gone fishin."
Someone once told me that if you dream about someone that you wouldn't normally think about on a regular basis you should pray for them. So I started prayign for him...then Tuesday night I try to call my Mom and just chat, but their phone is busy for two hours. Wednesday I email Mom to let her know I tried to call and she informs me that My Uncle John called lastnight and talked to my dad for three hours cuz he has found out he has Lung Cancer and it has spread to his Lymphnodes and the Doctor has given him 1-2 years to live...he is terminal............
I'm really sad for him...and scared fro his soul as he is a NON-believer and fights against believing...I pray he comes to Know God before he dies...
I don't have much else to say... I mean what do you say after you find out something like that...
