Dreams are good things ...

I have a good life. I have a God that loves me, and through His grace I have so much to be thankful for. I am healthy. I have the most adorable son in the world. I have a job I enjoy most of the time, my job is secure (in these economic times quite an important thing) and it pays me a decent salary. Because of this I am able to afford my dream home (I think God every day for this), and I drive a car that is reliable. It is not the most exiting life, but I really have nothing to complain about.

The problem with having a satisfying life is that sometimes one can be a bit greedy. I am very seldom greedy for more, but events and people this past weekend made me realise that there could be some changes in my life that would be really, really worth while. Realistically I know that these changes will only be dreams (well, in all honesty I actually know they will never come true), but that is the thing about dreams – dreams are good things. They make you smile in bad times in the hope that things will be better soon, and even in good times dreams can provide just that little escape from a world that sometimes can be a bit boring or monotonous.

I don’t do “What ifs” or “If only’s”, because I know I am in charge of my life. I also believe and know that God has a plan for my life that does not necessarily include my own wants. I like to think of myself as level headed and realistic with my feet planted firmly on the ground, and I am really not greedy. But I do so enjoy playing the dreaming game just every so often …. Because then I know that my life could be even better than it is now ….
