Kindergarten Dreams

I attended my Grandson, Price’s Kindergarten Graduation last Thursday night. Student answers to three questions were shared with the audience as they received their diplomas. What do you want to be when you grow up? Price: “A Paleontologist.” What’s your biggest wish? Price: “To own 7 rifles, 2 shotguns and a pistol.” What do you hope to learn in the 1st grade? Price:” How to fish and how to kill a squirrel.” I’m fairly sure when I graduated from Kindergarten I had never heard of a Paleontologist, nor could I have looked it up, since I would not have been able to spell it. I did desire to own a Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun, at least till my cousin shot me with his. I never much cared for guns after that. And my desire for 1st grade? It was probably to get to 2nd grade, since I was never the sharpest student in the class. Who would have dreamed that someday, I’d be “Dr. Dan”? The content of dreams change, yet even with the changing times, the act of dreaming about the future remains constant. So it was meant to be. The Bible says that “Old men shall dream dreams” (Joel 2:28; Acts 2:17) but surely nothing like those dreamed by young men. So dream on Price and all you other Kindergarten graduates. The world awaits you.

Join me in praying for these global concerns:
• Pray for Mary (Russia) as she attempts to develop a team of ten super prayer warriors who would be willing to pray for her daily.
• Join missionaries on June 1, a DAY OF PRAYER AND FASTING for Shizuoka City, best known as the home of Mt. Fuji, known worldwide as the symbol of Japan.
• Give thanks for Vic and Lyndsey receiving an unusual three-year visa as they entered Canada to be a part of a church-starting team in Vancouver.
• Pray for Chris who goes to Spain this week to pack up his and Cathie’s belongings for a season as they wait for Cathie’s health to impact their future.
