Imagine

Zechariah 4:10 "For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth."

If you're over 50 you can remember the countless hours of fun you had outdoors as a child with just a wooden stick and your imagination.  Yet as we grow up we tend to lose track of our ability to dream without reason.  If we do not dream we will never see beyond today’s reality.  It is our imagination that drives both our dreams and our curiosity to chase them.

Maturity is a natural, essential part of one’s life.  As we mature we become more educated, organized, responsible, and serious.  General personal progression seems to be the trend during this cycle, but our ability to let our imagination run free is lost somewhere between 9 and 5.  It seems that the more we learn here, the more we forget there.

We should never stop learning, but we should also never stop dreaming.  What good is educated progression if we lose sight of our natural human instinct to imagine or to chase this imagination equipped with nothing more than a stick.  You had zero to lose then and you have zero to lose now.  Life is short.  Have fun.  Don’t forget to dream.  Don’t forget to use your imagination. Little things and small beginnings grow.
