“The old dreams were good dreams. They didn’t work out, but I’m glad I had them.” Clint Eastwood’s character—Robert Kincade—in The Bridges of Madison County.Pay off my home and retire early, that was my dream for many years. Then I got married and we bought a home together just six years before I had hoped to retire. That dream was shot.
It was a while before I was able to let go of the old dreams I had lost to be able to see with new eyes and embrace the even older dream of marrying a wonderful man who already had children. Since I had passed my childbearing years, that dream had fallen off my radar. But when I married I became not only a stepmom to two amazing grown kids, but I became grandma to seven beautiful grand-kids.
Lord, please give me Your perspective so I may see the details of my life’s dreams, events, and outcomes, and be able to recognize the wisdom of Your timing. Amen “Do not lean on your own understanding; I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content; God causes all things to work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to His purpose.” Philippians 4:11b; Proverbs 3:5b; Romans 8:28 What are your thoughts?
