The Smell of Beer

We are an unusual family in that my husband and I don't drink alcoholic beverages at all. It's not that we have religious ideas that we shouldn't, or health constraints that preclude us from doing so. My husband drank a few drinks in college, and I enjoyed a few glasses of red wine while in college, usually following a harrowing exam. It tended to give me heartburn and I think on occasion, it caused a rare migraine headache. Although we both accept that there are some health benefits to the occasional beer or glass of wine, we just don't drink it, although we might serve some to guests on holidays. Oddly, our kids are the same. Other than a few drinks in college, and at Christmas, they just never got into the habit of drinking much. My kids joked that they could barely afford food in college, let alone drinks. My Dad was an exception to this. He loved an occasional dark ale especially while traveling, or going out with friends for a beer on tap and a slice of pizza.
I had an important business closing going on today, and I hoped my Dad would have been behind the decisions I have been making. In such a difficult economy it's hard to know what decisions to make when so many of our investments have decreased in value over the past few years. Early this morning while I was sleeping, I could smell beer, and I was aware of someone pouring a beer on a table in front of me. Although I didn't see him, I knew it was my Dad in the dream. I believe my Dad was encouraging me, not only at this time of the year before Christmas when I miss him, and I miss Daniel, but in the project I closed upon today. It was as if he was toasting me with a favorite beer. Thanks Dad. I will never tire of hearing from you in whatever manner you or Daniel are able to get messages through !

Dad loved a dark ale, especially some of the British varieties.

This may be a clearer version of the same song visually.

Messages in Dream

I spend a fair amount of time wondering about you and Papa L. and what your existence is like now. I try to focus on those who are here, because this is where I can exert the most good now, and because I am ever cognizant that anyone can be lost from Earth with no notice whatsoever.
Sometimes in dream, I hear you both. I forget a great deal of what you tell me, because I think it comes in a stream faster than I can process while asleep, but I do get some of it.
My understanding of what you have said is that Heaven is an overlay to Earth. Depending upon our stage of progression following passing, we ascend to whatever level we are supposed to. We can return to Earth to visit and we can go to our level of Heaven, and levels lower than our own, but we cannot ascend higher for many reasons. (Because apparently, there is still work and spiritual growth going on following our passings.) Some of us wait until all of our family has left the Earth before ascending to where we could, in fact go. I understand that the entire process is done because we are to learn for God, and because we seek to please Him.
If I have this straight, please let me know. If not, please refine it for me and tell me again. I do hear you in dream, and I am grateful for the communications.
Love you both.

Thankyou also to Benjamin West who has helped me to understand that there is much more going on at God's hands than any of us can envision or realize.
