Dreams or Goals?
Well, Christmas has come and gone, and the New Year is upon us. With the New Year comes New Year’s Resolutions – most of which will never come to pass. Too many sugar plums dancing in our heads, I guess! The truth is, more resolutions are just dreams rather than goals. I read once that a goal is a dream with a “deadline.”
Our grandson, Cinco, brought his mom and dad to our house for Christmas this year. Cinco is four years old and kept asking his mom if he could open presents. Shanda, our daughter, kept telling him, “not today–tomorrow.” On Christmas morning, the time finally arrived. As we all gathered around the tree, with great anticipation and excitement, Cinco looked at his mom and said, “Mommy, is tomorrow, today?” Unfortunately that is what seems to happen to our well-intended resolutions. Tomorrow becomes today and today becomes yesterday and yesterday is too late. I am going to put some deadlines on my dreams this year. And then, like Cinco, I can get very excited when tomorrow is today!
May this coming year be a year of fulfilled dreams for you and your family! And may your tomorrows be filled with the blessings of God!
Blessings, Gary
