Comments on: Grapes of Abundance: 13 Thoughts http://www.diaryof1.com/2008/02/07/grapes-of-abundance-13-thoughts/ Seeking Wisdom, Washing Dishes Wed, 08 Feb 2012 21:20:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Jeremiah http://www.diaryof1.com/2008/02/07/grapes-of-abundance-13-thoughts/#comment-64314 Jeremiah Mon, 22 Nov 2010 05:18:50 +0000 http://www.diaryof1.com/2008/02/07/grapes-of-abundance-13-thoughts/#comment-64314 This is kind of a comment but also a note of thank you. While researching the meaning of my dream I came across your blog. I typed the following in an email to myself tonight so I could recall it all in the morning. I realized this is more than 2 years after your posting but I thought it might be good to know that it still helped make an impact.Here's the email: The dream I had of an open field of soft rolling hills containg 400 rubber maid containers overfilling with grapes still lingers in my head. In an effort to figure out what it means I started searching the net for the meaning of grapes. I discovered that Grapes in the bible symbolize charity. I went on to read a fellow christians diary page where she too had a similair dream only in more detail. In her dream she too had an ABUNDANCE of grapes. http://www.diaryof1.com/2008/02/07/grapes-of-abundance-13-thoughts/ After a few days now the dream has still been on my mind and after reading these things I can't help but be convinced that the dream has meaning. The only question now is what? Does it mean we should be more charitable? Does it mean that God has an abundant amount he wants to provide to us? The containers in my dream were overfilling so much that the lids were just sitting on top and couldn't be fastened down. All the containers were blue in color but I keep thinking there was one red one among them. I'm not sure if I dreamed that or added it in with my imagination later. I don't feel this was a negative dream though. I don't feel it was a warning of some type but maybe a promise of blessings to come. It just now occurs to me that maybe the red container was the blood of Jesus. That one sacrifice, the most important one, produced endless blessings that surrounded him all to be given to me. Hmm..that sounds greedy but I do believe God wants to bless us over and over again. Maybe that red one signifies the greatest charitable gift ever given. Let's be honest, it's not like we ever did or can do anything to deserve that gift. So in all actuality, it is a charitable gift. It's funny, as I've pondered on whether this dream had any real significance at all it wasn't until I took the time to research what I seen in my dream and sit down to write about it that it really begins coming to me. Each thought is more profound and eye-opening than the next. I think what I look forward to the most is when I care share my testimony of how God fullfilled my prayers and delivered me from my hardship. Not as a testament of "look at me, look at me" but rather I had faith in our God and here is proof by my life that he is the truth and only provider we can rely on. I pray that my life with its adversities and successes will be an assett to kingdom of God and that others will see Christ through me. Amen.

Very cool - I love how God speaks to us in so many ways. I had a dream years ago in which I woke up knowing it was the answer to a dilemma I was having. I knew immediately that it had been straight from God. The only one I have ever had like that. It was so powerful - God used it in the process of bringing a very dear friend to Christ! Wow!

The whole scenario reminds me of the couple in "A Year in Provence." Have you seen it? They live in a stone farmhouse (mas) and tend a vineyard. I've often dreamt of doing the same in Napa Valley. :~D Yes, God's abundance... I pray He provides an abundant life for you in every way. Wonderful, wonderful.
