'I Have a Dream'

 

Seen here in Chicago

I love people who have

the imagination

to dream

and

the courage

to act.

Dreams can be far-reaching

or deeply personal.

The goal is to

never stop thinking

that we can make things

a little better along the way -

for ourselves and for others.

One remarkable woman's dream-

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.
I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.
I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.
I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.
I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.
I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."
