When I was a kid and would ask my Dad for something like a new toy or a bike, his response was always the same.
"When our ship comes in, we can get it."
Now we lived close to the Mississippi river and I just knew one of those barges coming and going carried all the things I dreamed of. It was filled with toys, bikes, GI Joes and games. What a dreamland of childhood delight.
Even though I know now that there isn't a magical dream vessel holding all the treasures of my childhood, I do have hope that my ship is just beyond the horizon. I know my ship exists, because my Dad would never lie to me. So, even though I am happy, healthy and abundant now, I still keep my eyes on the horizon. Because I have hope that my ship is coming. What is in your ship?

Hey Sweetness, I could say my ship has world peace, equality, love for all mankind, but I want to be a bit selfish. My ship has my dream job, dream house, dream car and lots of $$$$$. Oh' and a superbowl win for the TITANS next year.
You have an award. Visit my blog for the details.
