Do you really think your dreams are a blessing?

I am on my way to make my dream true...pray for me!!

I believe that dreams that we have when we are young are not necessarily blessings, but goals that we want to reach. You said that you dreamt of having a fancy job, you have one. You are a wife and mother. You may not own a sports car, but I bet you find yourself racing to get places each day. You may not be financialy wealthy, but you are rich in love. If you look at it from this point of view, I bet you have obtained you dream. I always dreamed of having the white picket fence, a beautiful home, a loving husband and children, as well as financial freedom and the ability to give my family all they ever want, including my parents and brothers. I'm not quite there yet, but I am on my way. I have a loving husband, and great kids, they are my blessings. I know that with hard work and perserverence, the rest will come in time. God blesses us each and every day, we just need to recognize our blessings and be greatful for them.

Welcome to myLot, newbie! The only thing I ever wanted when I was young was to be the mother of many children. I was still very young when cancer required a hysterectomy -- end of dream. Well, I think it turned out great! I adopted several kids who had either run away or been kicked out of their homes, or who were in trouble law, and I'm proud to say they all turned out really well. I'm not even upset with those I don't hear from, because I understand. Someday, they'll be in touch again, but they have to find themselves a life first, and settle into it. Most of them are in touch, and just a joy! The one who was supposedly an incorrigible delinquent owns a huge company, a lovely home, and has a wonderful wife and daughter. He just needed to get away from an abusive home and learn a bit of self-respect. Anyway, before I write pages and pages about my wonderful rental kids (that's what they call themselves, since they were teens when they came to me)but the point is that, once again, when God closed a door, another was opened for me. My husband insists he was just an audience for us all, and I really raised them, but he was there all the way.
