I’m back at “Miracle
on 34th Street,” the Christmas classic, starring a young Natalie
Wood. I love this scene in the story. For those of you who’ve seen the classic
film, I don’t need to explain the significance of what happens in this “gum
chewing” scene. For those who haven’t seen the film, however, please check it
out. (Hint: It has to do with wishing for your dreams to come true).
In the meantime, please know that God’s a very capable and
loving God, wishing to make dreams come true.
“Trust in the LORD and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
Take delight in the LORD,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

trust in him and he will do this.”
Psalm 37:3-5
Natalie’s character, Susan, here, is blowing the bubblegum,
not fully aware of what is being planned in her life. How much more, then, is
God secretly planning for you, while you’re chewing the bubblegum of life?
Could it be that He’s going to bless you in incredible ways,
even if, right now, it appears like nothing’s happening? God is working on your
blessings, while you chew bubblegum, do the day to day, “uneventful” stuff of
life. But He has, indeed, promised to bless you!
“…Surely
blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”
Hebrews 6:14
So, dream big!
