Did you watch The Sound Of Music last week?
I did, and I was surprised. I expected nostalgia. I didn’t expect to be surprised by a message within lyrics of a familiar song.
A dream that will need
all the love you can give.
Every day of your life
for as long as you live.
We don’t follow the dream because we need something. We follow because the dream needs something from us.
Maria returned to the family when she realized that serving God wasn’t about doing what she wanted and meeting her needs. Once she understood that truth, she had to go back.
It’s a question Jon Swanson asks in A Great Work: What matters so much that you have to start working on it, no matter what?
The dream needs our agape. It needs willing, joyous, dedicated, lifelong sacrificial love.
I’m in. You?
