We were meant to dream
We were meant to dream.
We lose sight of those dreams, stuffed into toy boxes or hope chests, underneath the board games with pieces missing, the old letters, the postcards.
We put them up high on the shelves, stacked with dishes we never use, with old blenders and dusty vases.
We stash them along with all the others— those travel books of far away places, those virginal wedding dresses, those empty baby shoes.
We learn to live in the moment, even if the moment lacks a fullness, a ripeness of life, of joy, of hope for a better tomorrow.
But we were meant to dream.
God called us to dream alongside Him. He called us to dream, to create, to act upon our hopes for His kingdom. Somewhere along the way, we picked up the toothpaste— little kids distracted from our task at hand with something we thought was far more exciting.
Somewhere along this lenten journey, I was reminded to put down the toothpaste, to pick up the far more real, more exciting task at hand. We were meant to dream.
