DAY 7–DREAMS AND CHALLENGES

A Word from Amy

Something to Think About

Life comes with challenges. Bob Wieland is less than 3 feet tall, but his spirit is 300 feet tall. Bob lost both legs in a war that happened many years ago. When he returned home after his injury, he was sad for a long time.

Here’s the good news. Bob didn’t let his injury stop him from living out his dreams. In time, Bob completed a couple of marathons (26-mile races), was named the “Most Courageous Man in America,” and even became the strength and motivation coach for the Green Bay Packers football team. What’s even more remarkable is his biggest success. Bob actually walked across the entire United States…on his hands. That’s right! He attached some leather shoes to his hands and pushed himself forward, step by step, with his arms.

It took him a long time, but Bob accomplished his goal. It took him three years, eight months, and six days. He walked an average of three to five miles a day. Bob’s message is simple: Despite the obstacles and challenges life may present, you can always find a way to win.

Don’t let your dreams die because getting there might get tough. Don’t stop believing in yourself when you are tired or weak. Keep going. Keep believing. Keep dreaming.

Something to Talk About

1. How does Bob’s story inspire you?

2. What are some things you are having a rough time with while you dream big for yourself?

3. How can you encourage one another as a family when the going gets tough?

Tip of the Day

Praying together is a great way to encourage one another in life, especially as we look to the future with our dreams. Take a few minutes today and pray for one another about specific needs each person may have that may be preventing them from realizing their dreams.
