Hold on to your Dreams!

Thought: The poorest of all men is not the man without a cent but the man without a dream.

Biblical text: Where there is no vision, the people perish?(Proverbs 29:18)

An unusual band of thirteen business and professional men in Toronto, Canada, respond in a unique way to multiple-alarm fires in their city. They have formed a volunteer fire-fighting unit, although they don't directly fight fires. Dressed in their own rubber fire fighting uniforms, they are armed with police passes. The truck they man is a red mobile canteen.

The fire fighters appreciate their service-in fact, the fire fighters union bought the canteen truck for them, and also purchases all supplies for the truck. When a fire alarm is received, a "must" call goes to them.

These fire fighters describe themselves as "middle-aged businessmen who never outgrew their childhood dreams."

What is it that you dreamed of doing as a child?

In the most reflective moments of your life, do you still nurture that dream? Do you wonder "what might have been if??"

Dreams are not only a great source of hope and courage, they are often windows to one's destiny. Revisit your childhood dreams. Perhaps it?s time for you to give them expression.
