e-Musings: As many times as I have wandered through our mall I had not stopped to realize that the answer to all my dreams was right there! Did you know that? Right here in the Harlingen Mall, there is a portal to help us all “Live (Our) Dreams.” I’m referring to a machine that looks like it once sat on the Empire State Building or on the Hemisphere Tower of the Americas. But instead of helping us get a telescopic view of skyscrapers and other area attractions, this machine says, “Live Your Dreams.” And for the price it charges (I didn’t look that closely!) you peer inside and I suppose you will see the places one only dreams of visiting. I am not knocking this, for I know that for many that is as close as they may come to seeing faraway places, but our dreams help us soar in so many ways that we can’t let one machine do the traveling for us. I would pray that our dreams go beyond standing by the Falls of Niagra or the top of the Sears tower. Come to think of it many of our dreams have already been realized in far greater ways than we could have ever imagined. I have stood proudly by the stages where my four children have received the high school diplomas. I have seen three of those four walk across the stage of a university. I have walked three of my children down the aisle to be given in marriage to good men. I have held the hands of the one who gave birth to me as she was preparing to leave this place for a better place; I have held the promise of God in the tiny hands of my grandchildren. My dreams are coming true. I have seen folks’ lives changed by what I have tried to teach and share in my profession. I have seen comfort come from above to those who seemed to have little comfort coming. My dreams are coming true.
This Saturday in the muggy morning of our Golf Tournament, our being there and doing whatever it is assigned or given to us, will also be a part of our being involved in the helping make dreams come true for so many who might not otherwise have had a chance or hope of seeing their dream come true as they walk across the stage getting their high school diplomas.
Make someone’s dream come true. And I’m not talking about giving someone seventy-five cents to peer into someone else’s pictures.
