May Every Dream You Dare To Dream Come True

Mark 9:23

And Jesus said to him, “ ‘If You can?’ All things are possible to him who believes.”

"May every dream you dare to dream come true."  Today is Elisa's birthday.  These were the words written on the front of her birthday card that she opened this morning.  Our daughters could hardly wait to get out of bed this morning to wish Mommy a "Happy Birthday!"  As they arose, Mommy was still out on her morning walk so they prepared her birthday cards and present and waited as patiently as possible.  The card they had picked out for her was the "best" card for this special day.  In the center of the card was a big paper pop-out birthday cake!  They were so excited to see her face when she opened it.  Then came Daddy's card for Mommy.  Thanks to modern technology, there are some really cool birthday cards that have a line or two from famous songs that play when you open it.  The girls knew as soon as Mommy would open the card the song "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" sung by Martina McBride would blare out from the center.  What a fun sight to see this morning.  Receiving birthday cards is fun but watching our daughters reactions is even "funner!"  

The card and song brought this question to mind, "What is your dream?"  Some people dare to dream dreams that seem impossible to achieve while others try to figure out what their dream is.  This is how we define dream:  It's that thing inside you that burns with passion, brings joy to your heart, puts a smile on your face, while at the same time brings you to tears!

Some of you are standing in that "somewhere" time in your life where the "skies are blue."  You have dared to dream and now it's time to start living your dream.   Take that first step toward living your dream.  That "somewhere" is now!  Even though it's scary, challenging, and may require lots of sacrifice, "build it anyway... dream it anyway... believe it anyway... love 'em anyway... do it anyway" (Lyrics from Martina McBride's song, "Do It Anyway").  Remember, "All things are possible to him who believes."

Have a great day!  God bless you.
