Have you ever had a dream? Something inside of you that you wished or hoped for? I know I have many things that I wish for and dream about having. I dream of having a Victorian style house with a wrap-around porch. I dream of taking a vacation to Maine and spending time sitting on the beach with my husband, with my toes buried in the sand and just drinking in the sunset. I dream of the day that all of my children will finally be potty trained! I dream of being used by God and making a difference in this world. See, I have many dreams! But you know who else has dreams? My husband, Colby.
My husband has dreams of owning his own business. He has dreams of owning a big white house with huge pillars in the front and a circle drive with a beautiful fountain in the middle. He has dreams of walking our daughters down the isle at their weddings… when they’re 40! He has dreams of spending extra time with our son teaching him to play whatever sport or activity he may be into as he gets older.
Dreams, goals and desires are a part of every person’s life. They are things that fill our hearts and can push us forward, and I believe they are very important to each of us. But I believe that even more important than simply having a dream is sharing that dream.
In order fulfill a dream you first have to know that dream is there and the only way to do that is to spend time talking about it. In life we are all bombarded by the chaos and trouble around us and sometimes it can seem like that’s all there is to life. With that being the case, I think it’s very important to set aside specific times to just dream together. Shut out the problems around you and simply dream. Talk about your dream house, your dream car, a dream vacation you’d like to take, where you’d live if you could pick anywhere… just dream.
It can be so easy to talk about nothing but the problems you are facing, and while facing those problems is also important, I also think it’s important to push those problems aside for a small amount of time and just dream.
