I was putting Silas to bed last week and he looked up at me and asked this question, “Daddy, what will I dream about?” I laughed, smiled and said, “I’m not sure buddy!” But, as I walked out of the room and left him to sleep, my mind started racing. What are the dreams I hope he will have? Even though I don’t know for sure what my little man will dream about, here are some things I hope will be in his dreams as he grows older:
- A deep understanding of how much his mom and dad love each other and him
- An ever deepening relationship with Jesus
- A desire to remain pure and treat women with respect, saving himself for the love of his life
- A quest to align himself with how God has gifted and wired him
- An opportunity to engage in life work that taps into his gifting where he finds fulfillment and success
These are just a few of the dreams I hope he has and finds the fulfillment of. As his father, I will do everything I can to help him find and discover the life dreams that God has planted in his soul. Even though I didn’t answer his question that night, I look forward to the unfolding of that question in the months and years ahead!
Just out of curiosity, what is one dream you hope your child will have?
