I sat during the service in a small brown church with cornflower blue windows. The Preacher sermonized on a great topic, I can’t remember which one. My eyes drifted for a while to the cool pattern in the window. It looked like a hand. I didn’t remember seeing patterns there before. The closed hand knocked on an invisible door. Next, a Hand reached down in answer. His Hand opened, revealing a sack. Sprouting out of the top of the sack was a blooming flower. I did not even realize it was a vision until after church. I explained to my mother what I had seen. She told me it was a vision from the Lord. I was only in fifth grade.
Do ten year olds really get visions from the Lord? The Bible says in Acts chapter two, verse seventeen:
“And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God; I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:”

So, yes, it is biblical. They young will have visions.
But what did it mean? I have not known for thirty-one years. Friday, June 24th, I began praying Proverbs chapter three verse twenty-seven. “With hold no good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.” TheKingJamesBibleOnline.org
There is another biblical concept I began praying, when a worker is due payment, pay them. See Leviticus 19:13:
“You shall not defraud your neighbor; neither rob him the wages of him that is hired. The wages shall not abide with you all night until morning.” King James modified to extract “thees, thines, & thous.”
Also found Jeremiah 22:13:
“Woe to him the company builds his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; the company uses his neighbor’s service without wages, and gives him not for his work.”
So during the move of the Holy Spirit on Sunday June 26th, the Lord brought back to my memory this vision.
One more piece of the puzzle:
June 28th, Jeffery & I went to look at two houses. After the amazing second house, I saw the realtor’s father sitting in the car. He told me his testimony of healing. The Lord had healed him of terminal cancer back in 2003! Wow! I started crying. We are dealing with a similar situation in our extended family. So he prayed. We prayed. Then he said, “And then the Word of God will bloom in you.” As he gestured his hand wide open, just as in the vision!
I know the Lord is answering our prayers. I know God hears us. The Lord is showing me the meaning of the vision!
