I had a dream last night, I saw before me a long and winding road. I was standing before heavens gates and I was in fear and awe. A great presence stood behind me and I looked down the road I had walked. Though I thought I had not accomplished much, I found I was so wrong. I saw a young man who was talking to me. I saw how he seemed hopeless and was in need. I didn't have much, but I gave him money anyway. I watched as he left and how his life changed. I saw another person I had met along my way, it was a young mother who was having a bad day. She was very sad and I offered her a kind word, her heart returned to joy and hope. Then she went on her way, I saw how she had become a good mother and had a happy family today. I saw another person, who was sitting in a church, I saw how they were unsure and had on self worth. I saw that I sat beside them and silently we did both pray. I then saw my words reach heavens throne and that person found God that day. On and on the images rolled, each one through the years. I could not help it, but I was brought to tears. On each stop in my life's journey, I had found a need and in each instance I had planted a seed. When the whole road was laid out before me, my eyes could not believe, how many great and wondrous things had come from every single deed. Some seed bore a little fruit and some many fold, but all returned glory to the fathers kingdom in ways that cannot be told. So I woke up from my bed and fell down to my knees. I then gave thanks to God for when I planted a seed.
