A Prayer for the headlines for Wednesday, April 18th

Good Morning, God,
The headlines are about the end to some American dreams. The story involves the last space shuttle flights, only this time the destinations are the places where the shuttles will retire. The Smithsonian is getting one; NASA will keep one; New York City is getting one. The shuttles will be flying most of the way on the top of their special Jumbo Jet, but the New York one will finish on a barge!
The thought, Lord, about the end to some dreams is that the shuttles' times in the sky breaking barriers were about the same time as we began dealing very seriously with the civil rights movement. So, the retiring of the shuttles is the conclusion of one part of life, but we still have dreams of breaking barriers between people and people groups.
Lord, you have blessed us with brains that can imagine and dream. Your Word says that "Old men can dream dreams and young men can see visions." So, may we always take life today imagining what it could be tomorrow - then act on such visions!
In Jesus' name, Amen.
