On the
wall above my bed there are two very beautiful dream catchers that my
wife bought. They are red and brown willow hoops decorated with feathers,
horse hair, and beads. They have a wonderfully delicate, spider web
design in the middle of them. At the very centre of the web in the very
middle of the dream catcher there is a round hole. The Native American
Lakota Tribe believes that the dream catchers represent the web of life.
Their people believe that hanging them above your bed or in your house
will sift your dreams and visions. The good in your dreams will be caught
in the web and carried with you, but the evil in your dreams will pass
through the hole and no longer be a part of your life. |

I enjoy looking at
these lovely dream catchers, because they always remind me of what I
want to do in my own life. I want to catch only the good within myself.
I want to capture only the highest, wisest, best, most loving, most
giving, and most joyous part of myself and let the rest fade away. I
want to become the person that God meant for me to be and live the way
that God meant for me to live. I want to become a wonderful part of
the web of life and share only love and joy with others and the world. |

The
glorious truth is that you, I, and everyone else in this world can do
this too. God loves us all so much and God gives us the strength and
ability to become our highest selves. We can choose to be the person
God meant for us to be. We can fill ourselves with love, joy, and light
and then share them with the world. We can capture the angel within
and allow the worst parts of ourselves to fade away. We can live as
a true Child of God sending smiles, giving love, offering joy, scattering
sunshine, and creating laughter wherever we go. We can catch the dream
of the person we always wanted to be and make it a reality. |
