I dream.....

I have dreams too, everyday I dream of a little girl who needs me, needs me to teach her words, and show her she IS valued, to kiss her booboos and wrap her in my arms. To show her that she CAN dream too. I dream of a little boy who is starving, coming home to a family who will make sure he NEVER knows hunger again. I dream of endless resources to find a place for every orphan, I dream of a world where homes don't have two kids and a dog (or cat) but are filled to overflowing, where wealth is not stored up but used as a tool to unlock doors for those who want to bring them home. I dream that we stop planning trips and luxury get aways, that we stop shopping for extra clothes and cars and things we dont need, that going to the movies or out to dinner doesn't really matter.  I dream that we find a way to use our resources to bring hope to the hopeless, and that fathers start dreaming of becoming "fathers to the fatherless" I dream of a world where not one orphan falls asleep hungry or lonely or hopeless.  I dream that we as Gods children realize that he gave EVERYTHING for us, and that we too should be giving all we have.  I dream of a place where fear doesn't drive us to store up things to protect ourselves, because we will know that when trouble comes we will circle the wagons and stand together. Oh yes... I dream.
