THIS IS AMERICA… YES, SON THIS IS AMERICA, WHERE YOU CAN DREAM YOUR DREAMS AND MAKE THEM COME TRUE. – NARA – 515779 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Do you dream?
I suppose that most of us have dreams from time to time while we are fast asleep. However, the dreams I am alluding to, are those daytime, wide-awake dreams. Such dreams as losing weight and having an hour-glass figure, or a man dreaming that he could have that he-man physique. Perhaps we have dreams that we will win the lottery or fall into some inheritance that will totally change our financial picture for the better.
I have often wondered what would happen to my life if any of these type dreams come true for me. It does not take but a Nano second for me to stop dreaming and get back to work. Maybe you have had that deep, for lack of a better word, gut feeling that there was something good that would happen in your life if put forth an effort to make it so. Now, I mean that certain something that you desire to attain in life. You know that Cinderella moment, or perhaps the American Idol experience. You get the picture.
Dreams, wishes, and goals are very important for us. The important thing is that we strive to make the important things come true. Many times, they do come true. But, in such a different form that, we fail to recognize them. One thing is for sure, we must work and pray and work, to see a dream come true. Sometimes the waiting is the hardest part. However, the wait is worth it when at last we recognize, YES, it has happened. Then…I suggest a prayer of gratitude for the gift of strength and patience and, for that Help from Above that made it all possible.

Last Night’s Dream – http://rogertharpe.wordpress.com/2013/01/17/last-nights-dream/
What would life be without dreaming? I dreamed of going to Auburn and marching in their band since I was in 8th grade and I worked and saw that dream fulfilled. I have “fun” dreams that would be nice if they came true and I have “true” dreams that with prayer, work and patience, I will see come true like being in Auburn’s band. Thank you Auntie for reminding us to dream.
very inspiring to all of us. You are a great writer. I can’t wait to read your book.
Without dreams, what would be our reason for living? I have dreamed all of my life….some while asleep, but many wide awake ones. A lot of the awake dreams were made fun of, like the one I had about closing in my front porch to make another room in a crowded house, not much was said about it until I had a vent installed on the porch when we were installing a new heat/air system, then the jokes started. I had the last laugh, however, when the room addition was completed…..seven years later, complete with pre-installed heat and a/c! Had moved the front door to side of house facing the driveway with a huge deck serving as front porch. Dream came , true, just had to be patient and believe.
Amen!
