My daddy's dreams

> The house was old and in poor condition when we moved in and nothing significant was ever done to improve it. There simply never was enough money beyond the necessities of caring for a wife and two boys. Never-the-less, i vividly remember hearing my daddy dream of what he would like to do to the house. He simply could not do it. Now, as i look back and hear him talking I feel great appreciation for the fact that he never stopped dreaming. Truth be know, one reason I grew up wanting to get things done and made things happen is that I started dreaming of what I would do for daddy and mother if I had the money. I would fix that old house up and do all the things daddy dreamed talked about doing. I guess what this means is that my daddy did not just sit there and daydream and nothing ever happened. Actually he was a source of motivation for me to take advantage of my youth and ability to get things done beyond the dream stage. I hear the words of John in The Revelation when he hears God saying: "Behold, I make all things new….". God is still dreaming too and to this day getting things done through you and me. Nope. My daddy did not idly dream and nothing happened….in his humanity he taught me…
