Lord, Bless Our Dreams To Become A Reality For Us And Our Children’s Children; So We Can Make This Old World Into A New World Of Love And Brotherhood. Amen.
In the second chapter of the Book of Daniel, there is the story of King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. He could not remember the dream, and none of the wise men of his court in Babylon could tell him what his dream had been. But Daniel told the King that he would reveal and interpret the dream, if he could have a little time. Daniel and his three fellow captives prayed, and God revealed the dream to Daniel in a night vision. When he told the King what his dream had been and what it meant-Daniel was rewarded.
We experience dreams at night; but we can also consciously dream through our aspirations and ambitions. Children dream of growing up. Parents dream of educating their children. Grandparents dream of leisure, travel, and comfort, but we must not forget a segment of society that has no more dreams.
The very old who have been placed in nursing homes and forgotten have little or nothing to look forward to; they have no more dreams left. What are we doing to make their remaining days on earth more meaningful and cheerful?
Dr. Martin L. King, Jr. was a dreamer because he knew it was good to dream and to plan for a better future. Whatever your age or problem, make a down payment on a dream. Most of the great inventions can be traced back to a dream. We often scold children for daydreaming, but when a person dreams a good dream, and makes that dream come true, the world is blessed.
Travel today is fast and convenient because the Wright brothers dreamed they could build a flying machine. Now people can go to almost any place in the world on jet planes.
