Dreams: Don't give up on you

Dreams. Most of us have them, but how many of us achieve them? “Achieve them?” you ask. “Don’t dreams just happen? Isn’t that why we call them dreams?”

No, most dreams just don’t happen. They take work. Lots of work. I can dream that I want to write a book or run a race, but if I never start writing or never start running, those dreams will never materialize.

Since it’s the season of mortar boards and tassels, I thought it timely to talk about dreams.

Dreams are life’s sugar. They sweeten it and make even the darkest days more palatable. But nothing compares to achieving them. To hold that book in your hand or to cross that finish line — WOW! It’s an incredible feeling.

Dreams that speak to us

I had the craziest dream the other night and I can’t seem to get it out of my head. I silently prayed while kneeling at the Communion rail. At the end of the church service, the pastor “found” a bundle of envelopes on the lectern. There was an envelope for each congregant. When I opened mine, I found the answer to my prayer. But how? I wondered. It’s not like the pastor heard my prayer (and everyone else’s) and scrambled to write these notes in the few minutes between Communion ending and the service concluding. Chatter erupted as each person opened their envelope and found just what they needed. One woman, tears streaming from her eyes, fell to her knees. A man clutched his heart and was visibly shaken. I scratched my head trying to make sense of it all but I couldn’t wrap my brain around it. So, there you have it. What do you think the dream meant?
