DAY 260 -- Final Day Of Dreams

One of the problems of dreaming is my poor wife.  As I said before, I have started many businesses, many a result of dreams.  She has supported me through thick and thin.  However, our life has been think and thin.  She has never complained.  Though I often have made decisions that resulted in failure, poverty, no money for cloths or insurance, etc, I have a wonderful wife who continues to support me through it all.

Dreams are good, especially when they are shared by both spouses.  We both anticipate and wish for this dream that started this blog, to serve a mission.  We both desire to go and do as the Lord commands, and where He commands.  Since we share this dream, even in times of challenges and trials, we can unitedly tackle it and strive to overcome any challenge.

When one of the couple has a dream not shared by the other, it can create problems.  I have seen this happen within the bonds of matrimony, between spouses.  At times, it can cause very serious difficulty between the married couple.  Once in a while it even can, and does cause divorce.

So as I conclude my posting about dreams, I must offer gratitude to my Father for a wife who has supported me through my crazy ones, my failing ones, and my ill-thought out ones.  She has supported me, no matter the outcome and I know I am very blessed to have her.

In conclusion, having dreams can be and should be a positive experience.  It is when a couple, a family can work together to accomplish a unified goal.  The working together could be part of the reason why Elder Holland urges us to dream dreams and see vision. 

One dream we should all have and work toward is earning the Eternal Reward that is promised to us through our Savior Jesus Christ.  We must work together with our spouse to achieve that dream, no matter what.
