I’m sure you have heard of Spiderman. But have you heard of Spider-Mable? Mable is an adorable six-year old girl that has Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. She had one wish, and that wish was to be a superhero for a day. The Children's Wish Foundation in Canada made her wish come true. When the captain of the Edmonton Oilers was “kidnapped” by the evil Mysterio, Spider-Mable sprang into action. Encouraged by thousands of people in Edmonton – and with the help of Spiderman himself – she eventually saved the day! Click here to read about Spider-Mable and her action-packed time as a super hero. (Better have a box of tissues with you.) This story got me wondering... Little kids with life-threatening illnesses need the Children’s Wish Foundation to make their dreams into reality. But you and I can make our dreams come true anytime. Is this not so? So, what’s your dream? You know what I'm talking about... a dream or a wish that you have the power to make happen. Do you have such a dream? If no, then why not? If yes, then when are you going to make it come true? Time marches on. Two thousand years ago, Hillel asked his famous question – “Im lo achshav, eimatai – If not now, when?” I'm sure Spider-Mable that would help us come up with the right answer. |
