Ruby was asleep when she heard a voice saying "He was just standing there, and he dropped dead!" The dream lead her to believe the voice was speaking of her friend, Elmer Brownlock . She awoke startled and upset. She was done sleeping for the night.
"Why did I dream that!" she thought to herself, and for an entire week she stewed about it . "I am going to have to say something" she thought, so she chocolate-coated the message and e-mailed it to him.
She wrote:
"Dear Elmer, I am not saying I have prophetic dreams. It could just be the turkey chili I had before bed, but I had a very disturbing dream about a week ago concerning your health. So, if you have not had a check up for a while maybe you should have one. Anyway, I am telling you this just in case it is not the turkey chili eaten on my part. I couldn't bear the pain if something happened and I had not told you. "
Two more weeks passed and Ruby's friend remained among us, but Ruby was still not at peace. "At least I said something", she thought to herself. "The pain would be unbearable if he really did drop dead, I saw it coming, and held my tongue."
It was then that she got that sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach and she realized the reason for her dream.
NOW, IMAGINE THE PAIN FELT FOR THOSE WHO ARE LOST FOREVER BECAUSE YOU KNEW ABOUT THE SAVIOR, AND YOU HELD YOUR TONGUE.
