Monday should be a new beginning every week. Sunday is the day to revitalize our soul, get a new lease on life and recommit to our goals. Monday is the day to put into practice what we thought about, planned, and decided on Sunday. Today is Monday. Am I recommitted to this goal?
I believe that one of the reasons Elder Holland said that we should always have dreams is because dreaming can often give comfort, hope, and excitement. Dreaming of what "could" be often gives one strength to carry on, not lose hope, and anticipate the future.
Dreaming of our mission, trying to imagine where we will be called, what city we will be living in, what will be our responsibilities, all can cause us to endure a little longer, put up with sadness or failure of short term goals. Dreaming can give us the power and desire to carry on when all seems lost. Dreaming about the future and trying to imagine what can, and possibly will happen often can give much strength to the dreamer.
So today, as Monday has arrived, and now gone, I spent time dreaming about what could happen next June when we hope to be called on a mission. That helps me get through the daily hum drum, knowing we have a united dream of what is going to be, what we are planning for, and what we are working toward.
"We must take every opportunity to learn and to grow, to dream dreams and see visions." Dreaming and seeing visions has been a part of me for many, many years. I constantly dream dreams. When I conceptualize a possibility, immediately I dream a dream that will make that possibility reality. When I am asked to do something, I immediately dream how I can do it in a great manner. When I discover a need, I dream up a solution to solve that need. When I discover a sadness, or a person who is in need of comfort, I dream of a way to comfort that person.
Dreaming is a great past time, and one I endorse. It gets me through difficult times. Even some days I dream about the Second Coming. What a glorious dream that is. I dream about judgment, and what is going to happen to me. Today Monday I am full of dreams. I even dreamed about tomorrow, Tuesday.
