Dreams are renewable. No matter what our age or condition, there are still untapped possibilities within us and new beauty waiting to be born. –Dale E. Turner, author
There are two “dreams” on my radar today: one that family relationships can be restored, renewed, actually restarted with loving forgiveness, understanding, and new beginnings, and that our church elders today will envision the five-year-plan for the church that they’re hoping to accomplish at their retreat.
Dreams and hope keep us going, refresh our vision, and give us purpose. Wouldn’t this be a tough world were not this abstract concept around to inspire us? I would hate to live in a world where possibilities and maybes could catch our attention and spur us onward. We so often must, of necessity, address the hard-edged realities of this life: jobs to do, people to see, brick and mortar attention getters.
I read a quote yesterday which really says it all. It went something like this: we read books to take us to places we wish we could go. That’s a dream isn’t it? We can escape to any place, any time, and put the realities away for brief period of time.
So let’s take some time today to think about what could be, might be, and perhaps those might become the new realities because they started out as dreams. Let me know what you’re dreaming today!
