At The Table

For My People - Dreams - At the Table

SPRING 2005
By Ernie Knoll

In my dream, I find myself reclining[1] on my side at a long, long table.[2] I look at the other side of the table and I recognize family members.[3] We talk and laugh.[4] As I look to the left and right, I can see people of different sizes. Some are very tall.[5]

I now see that the place where I am reclining has my new name[6] engraved in bright gold symbols that describe my character.[7] As I look at it, I repeat to myself, “That describes me; that describes me.”

I then look up and notice what seems to be long, iridescent birds flying through the air, but I do not notice the wings. They sing a beautiful song in four notes at once.

Quite some time has passed at the table, but there is not a sense of urgency. As we wait to be served, we marvel at the variety of food.[8]

I also notice my guardian angel[9] standing behind me. He is tall and wears a dry misty-looking white robe. He possesses a very noble appearance and has a kind and gentle smile. I speak with him quite often. I almost want to cry and apologize for all the things I did on earth, how I put him through so much in guarding me and all the times he watched me sin.[10] In a soft voice he says that I need not worry or mention anything about it as all that is in the past.[11] He tells me that Jesus, the great Host, would have done all[12] that was needed to have me at the table to serve me.
