This story, A Dream Fulfilled, gives the readers an idea of the meaning in "be careful what you wish for". What we cherish is sometimes in the same room with what annoys us, I guess.

We too had finally achieved our dream country estate. Then I made the mistake of taking credit for it myself. Look what I had done! It all came tumbling down. There is only one mansion we need to be concerned with, and that is the one our Lord has promised us.

A very good story with a strong lesson in living. Bold enough to merit a six-star rating.

Thank you for your entry and interesting story, and testimony. I believe, we cannot take anything but our memories with us beyond the veil. Can you imagine if we could how envious everyone would be. Hmm. Maybe that could be another contest. What think thee?

Thank you for sharing details of your life story. Your descriptions are clear and give context to the truth of your writing. Perspective is everything. Many of us are focused on things that will fade and will not satisfy us. You landed your story with a strong resolve. Good job. Good writing

This is a very well written entry for the Have You Lived a Dream writing prompt. Your words were so sincere, and it made me think of my life growing up. The best part was when you brought Jesus into the picture. That is my desire also, to see Jesus one day and be with Him forever. Best wishes in the contest! love and blessings, Teri

This is a perfectly told story of a life of poverty engendering dreams of greater things, perhaps to finally belong with a wealthier crowd, and how that dream, when realized, didn't provide the anticipated rewards. It is so true that earthly things will never bring true happiness, which is really contentment. That can be found only in accepting the grace of God. That does not mean that we cannot appreciate the finer things. We just need to keep them in perspective and make sure that they don't come to own us.

I love this as I came from a similar situation and Jesus has made me clean and whole. What newness He gives and extends to us the very moment we believe. Beautifully penned and illustrated offering for this unique prompt. I wish you all the best in the upcoming vote.
