Socks

I have long loved the stories about "Winnie-the-Pooh". The favorite character for me has been Eeyore, the old grey donkey. I guess there were lots of ways in which I could identify with him. He was always gloomy and sad, expected the worst, thought he didn't have any friends and other such "cheerfulness." I know it sounds strange to like something/one like that but, the fact is, misery likes company. Feeling bad, in a sense, made me feel good.

The other night I had a dream. In the dream I was wearing "Eeyore" socks. I took them off when I was inside but thought I needed to put them on again when I went out. Eeyore, as I already explained, means doom, gloom and sadness. Socks have to do with your walk. God so patiently showed me what I was "walking" in. I said to myself, This is not what I want! I determined right there to quit agreeing with the "Eeyore" spirit.

I asked God what socks He wants to give me. He said pink and yellow. Pink stands for child-likeness (trust) and love. Yellow stands for hope. Wow! What a difference!

So don't be surprised if you see me walking around with pink and yellow socks! It's a reminder of the lesson God taught me one night not long ago.
