The garage, a place of storage, a place of dealing with things later when time allows, a place often of mess. That's whats in our garage anyway.
I woke up out of my sleep last night with this 'there's something in the garage'. So at midnight I woke up Jim and got him out checking out the garage and I found the cars had been left unlocked outside with the windows down, the water heater in the prayer room (one of our garages) was still on from the prayer time that morning, milk on the bench and so thankful that I was woken to check things out.
But after this I then had another dream and in this dream we were quests at someone's home invited for dinner but in this home after dinner the host was so concerned about her home and the particular way her curtain was hung it was really fascinating. She was so wrapped up in her house and how things should be done that she failed to notice her husband sitting on the chair waiting to talk to her and in the end he got up and just walked out, their marriage over and she never noticed or cared about it as she was so concerned about her house.
As I was thinking about this I realised this is so much the case with so many in society today. In dream language curtains talk about the fleshy veil and in looking at this dream this lady was so concerned about things of the flesh that she forgot about and didn't spend any time with her husband and her relationship with him to the point he just got up and left, unnoticed.
I believe this is a warning for us today that we not get caught up in the things of the flesh, our homes, our possessions, our own desires, that we don't even notice those relationships around us that are disintegrating and falling apart. If we don't take that time and spend it with those who are important to us we may find that those relationships will no longer be there and you will one day wonder where those people went to. I remember my grandfather at a very old age recognising that his family was the most important thing in life but by that stage he has spent all his life playing golf and not spending that time needed in the earlier years building that relationship with his family.
The reason I share the bit at the beginning about the garage is because your family, your relationships are not something that should be put in the garage for later, to sort out when you have time because if your garage is anything like Jims, you never get back to it. All the best intentions of the world but because it is out there, it is like out of sight out of mind and so our relationships need to be something that we don't store up for another day, but to put it in a place of prominence so you don't forget what is important and to spend that time with the people in your world.
Many blessings this Easter! Take the time to consider what is important in life and perhaps readjust some areas to make way for the things that are really of value - each other.
