For my birthday, my sweet sister-in-law and her family gave me a personalized, autographed copy of Tony Dungy’s new children’s book You Can Do It! Quite honestly, it is my favorite gift this year. Thanks SO much Iris, Gaetan and Rachel!
Tonight, I read the book with my kids for the first time. It is a great little story about Tony’s younger brother Linden and the dreams their parents encouraged them to pursue. I enjoyed reading the story with my kids because like Tony’s parents, I hope to inspire my kids to do what the book says: Trust God and Dream BIG! As I read the story though, it inspired me.
This cute children’s story prompted me to remember a favorite quote from one of my former pastors, “Ask Largely!” I was also reminded that God can do ANYTHING! Even things beyond my wildest dreams! These are encouraging words, because lately, I’ve had some pretty wild dreams!
If you have BIG dreams, know this: your dreams can NEVER be bigger than God. So be inspired and follow the ancient wisdom found in the opening scripture of this new book:
Commit to the Lord whatever you do,
and your plans will succeed.
- Proverbs 16:3
Thanks for being an awesome Dad to our children.
As Anna Brooke reminds us in song: “My God is so big, so strong and so mighty. There is Nothing my God can not do.” We love you.
I was so glad I was able to meet Tony Dungy and have him sign his book for you. You are most welcome! We miss you guys, Rachel actually cried because you are all so far away. She now wants to move to Florida but I keep reminding her the Yankees are in NY. LOL
Needed that today. Thanks!
