Dream


Lisa at This Crazy Little Life of Mine (my sister) wrote a thoughtful post about "Dreams" in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr.  I was inspired to post my dreams.  It is to know, love, and serve God better.  This primarily means that I follow His will.  There are some things completely clear and some things to be revealed.  

It is clear that I am to love my Husband and offer my best self to him.  I thought about this and I know this means to love him at all times.  When it's a gift to love my husband and on the rare occasion when it can be hard to "love as a verb."  For example, when you're at Disneyland and you have to go to the bathroom so you leave him with your princess-loving daughter in the Cinderella line and then discover he took a picture of some drunk truck driver posing as your 4 yr. old.  Even during times like that.   Thank you Dear, your little girl will always treasure this picture.
Following God's will also means to give all I have to our children.  To bring them to Him so they'll end up with Him.  This is always a gift but some moments are more enjoyable than others.  Like when they're looking so cute, picture below (not above) a few years ago.  ...or tonight at dinner when your 5 yr. old tells you are the "best cooker in the whole world" as she eats her KFC.  
Oh, how I need help.  Today was a distracted day may I do better at pursuing my dreams tomorrow!  (hmmm, that sounds like something a Grasshopper would say)

Cinderella looks pretty content herself with that drunk truck driver and is giving the photographer quite a fetching glance!
