‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29‬:‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

This week’s theme of tomorrow started with my sweet dog Oreo. For her, tomorrow means something is going to happen. When I say in a soft voice, “Oreo, tomorrow you are going to granny’s house,” she wags her tail with excitement. Then when tomorrow arrives, in an excited voice I say, “Oreo, today is tomorrow,” she runs to the door ready to go. Just think about God and His excitement over us for what our tomorrows hold. 

Jeremiah instructs us that God wants to give us hope and a future. They say that laughter is medicine for our souls. What better way to give us hope than to laugh and share our joys with our Heavenly Father. God desires for us to laugh. We read in Proverbs 31:25 – She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭16‬ ‭NIV‬‬ —- I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers.

How many of you love to garden or take care of plants? I love planting and getting my hands in the soil. Watering sometimes feels like a chore but a necessity for plant vitality. This is my second year taking care of a garden. I have planted tomatoes, bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, squash, and cucumbers. As I watch them grow, I get excited to think about what they will look like tomorrow. Audrey Hepburn said, “To plant a garden is to dream of tomorrow.” I encourage you to not only share your worries of tomorrow with God but to also bring Him your dreams and ask Him to water them. 

Take a moment to think about how you have dreamed for your children, grandchildren, or nieces and nephews. You want opportunities and blessings for them. You desire for them to love the Lord and be good stewards. I am sure there have been many prayers and tears shed over the dreams fulfilled and the dreams lost. We are blessed to know that every dream and every prayer has been heard. Once upon a time, our parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles prayed those same prayers for you and me. Let’s not give up remembering one another and praying for one another. Take time to thank God for the opportunities each new day holds and the dreams our tomorrows hold. 

Let’s pray. Dear God, thank You for everyone who has remembered me in prayer. I lift up all my friends and loved ones to You today and ask that You bless them and keep them. Thank You for the opportunities that today holds. Thank You for giving me the ability to dream. I pray that You water my dreams with Your perfect will and favor. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
