Feeding Their Dreams

When I was a girl, I dreamed of swimming as a mermaid, with manatees (my favorite animals).

I suppose Crosby, Stills, & Nash were right, in that we often unintentionally pass our own dreams on to our children…

“feed them on your dreams, the ones they picked, the ones you’ll know by…”

I won’t take credit for sparking the imagination of my kids, but merely do my best to fuel the fire of their God-given dreams and passions.

found the shirt at children’s place, she spent her own money
also bought herself these flip-flops there, after her neighbor-friend showed off her own pair

Our upcoming family adventure is intentionally geared around these current obsessions passions, and I’m not sure who is more excited… they’re little for such a short time, it’s a blessing to feed/encourage their dreams.
