Dreams

.
A Walt Disney tune says... A dream is a wish your heart makes...
Well what dream does your heart make?

What way would you configure the world, dream the world to be, if you could have that image show up in the real world? Peace in your family? Health? Financial security? What would that dream look like?

I've kept track of my nighttime dreams since I was 12 and have had some really unusual ones. Some time we'll talk about them. But right now let's say that the dream we have for the world seems to be very different than the world we have.

So how do we help the world live into the dream that God has for the world, for that realm of God where justice is done, where the silenced ones have a voice, where those who are trapped are set free, where there is food for all, homes for all, hope for all,
What does the world of your dreams look like?

And then I ask the question that Jesus asks in the Scripture from John for this Sunday, Do you want to be healed?
What if God said. I've given YOU gifts and talents and wits and support and privilege, now bring that dream of the realm of God, the KIN-dom of God, where you are into reality. Jesus told the disciples that all the things he did we would do and even more...
So, here we go! let your dreams be a wish your heart makes linked to the heart of God!

Happy Saturday and good Sunday
God abides
