Into Tomorrow
I'm finding myself daydreaming a lot lately, intently dreaming, about the future. So much is changing. Our world is changing. For the better? It sure doesn't seem like it sometimes. And we can get so bogged down in all the tragedy if we let ourselves. So I command myself to daydream about all the other miraculous, wondrous changes all around me. My body is changing as it grows a new life inside. Soon our lives will change when this child brings her own miracles to our family.
And I daydream about my boys, growing bigger, stronger, faster every day. My oldest will be entering Kindergarten in less than two weeks. Is it possible? How can that be? He was just a baby yesterday, wasn't he? Wasn't he just learning to walk? It was only a moment ago that he learned to get dressed on his own. Or was it a lifetime? And suddenly, I'm looking into Tomorrow, which is HERE ... NOW.
My younger son, for the first time in his life, will be going to preschool without his big brother, as they will be in different schools. He's never known a life without his idol beside him. Now he will learn to be more independent, more outgoing (if that is possible for him). While I hope his bond with his brother will never change, I look forward to seeing him step forward into Tomorrow, for his spirit to expand to its full potential.
And what will this baby girl be? Will she have her daddy's curly hair? Will she have my eyes or nose? Will she have her Nana's gentle heart, just as she will share her Nana's name? What will Tomorrow hold for her?
What will Tomorrow hold for all our children? I hope ... I pray ... and I have faith in God that Tomorrow will hold Possibilities. It will hold Life, Love, and Laughter. It will hold Light and Discovery. It will hold Wonder and Dreams and Wisdom.
No matter what goes on in the world, Tomorrow will hold Hope.
