.....wake

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Cor 5:17

A man was giving his testimony at one of those old Salvation Army open air street meetings.  As he was testifying, a heckler in the crowd yelled, "Why don't you shut up and sit down? You're just dreaming."

Immediately that heckler felt a tug on his coat. He looked down to see a little girl, who said. "Sir, may I speak to you? That man who is talking up there is my daddy. My daddy used to be a drunkard. He used to spend all of the money he made on whiskey. My mother was very sad and would cry most of the time.

Sometimes when my daddy came home, he would hit my mother. I didn't have shoes or a nice dress to wear to school. But look at my shoes. And see this pretty dress? My daddy bought these for me."

But the little girl wasn't through with the heckler yet. "See my mother over there? She's the one with the bright smile on her face. She's happy now. She sings even when she's doing the dishes."

Then the little girl said, "Mister, if my daddy is dreaming, please don't wake him up."

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.” Revelation 12:11
