Parents Learn Lessons from their children

I came across this photo of Justin as he was about to head off to one of his first assignments as a pilot for Express Jet. I like to look at this picture because it is a perfect illustration of how parents can learn from their children. Flying was a dream Justin brought home from his mission, as parents we could not see how he would ever achieve that dream. But then because the dream wasn't ours we didn't understand what determination Justin had to accomplish that dream. His wonderful wife Megan was able to grasp the same dream and through many hours of hard work, going to school full time, working full time, commuting 30 + miles each day to work through snow and icey winter roads, Justin was able to accomplish his dream because his dream became the dream of his family. This is a great example of what can be done when two loving parents join in the same dream. Imagine what we could do as individual family units if we had that same drive, that same type of dream about activity in our church, about our committment to our community, about our individual committment to our spouse. Thank you Justin and Megan for sharing not only your dream but sharing what a couple can do when they share the same dream. The lessons learned along the road to accomplishing that dream will bring rewards to you and your family for years to come. Joel
