There were a number of things I wanted to be when I was growing up. What that was depended on the stage of life I was in. At one point, I would have told you I wanted to be the trash man. I guess riding on the garbage truck looked fun. Baseball player, police officer and ice cream truck driver were on the short list too.
As I look back, there was an extreme joy in dreaming. It's something I want to do more often, not only in my own life, but with Carter, Morgan and Jami. Dreaming about what could be. Dreaming about the what if's. Dreaming about what God could do in our lives if we just simply take the a first step.
That's what God does with us. And as a father, a parent, it's my (our) job to do that too.
How cool is that.
So, while I no longer want to be a garbage man, I still want to ride on the back of one at least once in my lifetime. :-)
What did you want to be when you were growing up?
