The End of the Road
I am driving down an unfamiliar road in the countryside, towards Ennis, TX to see the Bluebonnets. I see a person leading a horse in the road. Suddenly the horse’s legs buckle and the horse collapses. Uncharacteristically, I keep driving–intent on finding my way, but I can see in my rearview mirror that others have stopped to help. Suddenly I reach the end of the road and it dead ends at a small church to my right. To my left is a walking trail. There are people gathered outside the church for a funeral, and I can see a sign or plaque indicating that it is for a US veteran. I turn the car around and decide to ask someone for help. I come up to where the horse collapsed but instead, I see a relative of mine. I wake up.
The relative in the dream has a spouse who is a US veteran and who has had ongoing health problems. I immediately start praying for this person, that the Lord would grant them a long life. I later call my relative to ask how they both are doing. Apparently the spouse has recently had surgery but is recovering and doing “fine.” I feel, however, that this dream is a call to prayer. I believe that even prophetic things can show us not what will “definitely” happen but what will “likely” happen unless action is taken. I believe the best action, in this instance, is prayer.
