Do Something! Dream Dreams!
There is a great blog post from skifoozle.wordpress.com entitled what’s happened to our dreams?.
Why do we dream, why do we strive, why do we act? Is it for the end goal? I would say not so much. It is the journey, completely! The end result is always a disappointment to what we perceive it will be. We always, always over estimate how results will make us feel when we are chasing a dream. I’ve written about this previously here. Live for the journey.
For myself, do I want my son to be “healed”? Do I want him to be “normal”? Not exactly. I want him to know friendship. I want him to know love. I want him to vigorously pursue our Savior, Redeemer. I desperately want these end results. As important as these goals are for me, I am not willing to neglect the joy and happiness in the now that my son provides. Playing frisbee, speaking mullish, laughing, hearing “I love you dad”, that is the value of my journey.
Keep dreaming, dreams so that you can have amazing (often painful, but ultimately fulfilling) journeys!!!
