Inspiration

There is nothing like a little inspiration from a late night movie.  My hubby and I watched a movie tonight while folding our laundry (He hates when I multi task!)... none the less it was enjoyable.  In the middle of the movie we looked at each other and both said how sad and depressing this movie was...
But how it brought so much perspective.
This movie was about a good man trying to raise his son and make his dreams come true.  90% of the movie sure did seem like he was failing.  He was behaving in ways you think a 5 year old boy shouldn't have to see, living in a homeless shelter for most of it, and making mistakes .. ALWAYS.
But, he was true to himself, his son adored him, and there was a goal.  In this movie this man paid a huge price for the end result.  In the end, his dream did come true, so there was 90% sadness... 10% happiness.  Still left me so encouraged. 
I have to admit there are times in life that my current circumstances get me down.  Maybe my life does not appear to be quiet what it was financially as it did four years ago.  BUT.. my daughter adores me... my husband loves me... we have food, shelter, clothes... FAMILY... what else do we need... REALLY... what else do we need? 
There was something that was said in this movie about having dreams growing up and none of them coming true.  I agree... I had a lot of dreams growing up, and to be honest, none of them included being a mom and house wife.  Growing up I didn't even know if I wanted children.  I have dreams now... and know what??? My dreams change daily! lol I think it is kind of funny... But if you really want to know how I feel... I couldn't DREAM up my life... it is far better.  Thank you Jesus!!

Night all
