The Way Of Great Dreamers...

"All Men Who Have Achieved Great Things Have Been Great Dreamers." - Orison Swett Marden

The other day, while I was a teaching to a class of small children, I was filled with inspiration. As I told a story, with much emphasis on my facial expressions and voice, I couldn't help but be filled with wonder at how children's eyes sparkle when you tell them a story. This sparkle is something different than how an adult reacts to a story. How is this explained? I really don't know. Perhaps is their innocence that fills their eyes with glee. Maybe its the fact that they have a whole lifetime ahead of them, therefore everything seems possible.

When I was younger, I loved any book I could find about being on a Farm. When I saw this book, for my son, I was instantly taken back....


...taken back to my childhood. It reminded me of my favorite book I used to read "The Four Seasons On The Farm." It was the story of a little girl who lived on a farm and what her life was like caring for the animals, doing different kinds of chores, and sharing moments with her family. On one of the pages, there was a picture with her looking out her bedroom window. The sun had just kissed the horizon goodbye. You could see candlelights all throughout the windows. You could see all the beautiful grass with the cows grazing in the fields. You saw Grandpa, Grandma, Ma and Pa sitting on the porch in their rocking chairs. You saw brother and sister playing a fun game of hide-and-seek.

I wanted so bad to jump in that book. So bad, that I would lay that book flat on the ground, close my eyes and.....JUMP! As soon as I opened my eyes...I was IN the book! I could never have done that with a TV or a Computer. With the images produced on TV or the computer, they are already there, in front of us.....what kind of imagining do we have to do?

The window of time that we have with our children is so small (even though sometimes it may seem like it takes forever!) :P But the opportunites that we have to help encourage them to explore and express their creativity pass by so quickly. Books not only provide a gateway to the imagination, but they also help families spend quality bonding time together! Books are an investment in building your child's creativity, confidence and ultimately future!

Seize this small window of opportunity! Encourage your children to READ everday!

Before long, the two find themselves in the middle of an assassination attempt against the new king. Escaping into the cold dark night, being chased across the fens by a man intent on killing them...

Boring? Not exactly.
