Owning this car has been a dream of his for ten years.  He finally got it last Thursday.  Kenny, my brother-in-law, is now the proud owner of a 1957 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser.

At the risk of sounding like a car salesman, let me just say that this “dream” car is gorgeous and loaded with a ton of extras.  I had no idea that way back in ’57 there were cars that actually had “memory seats.”  (The power seats “remember” the previous settings.)  If you want to see all the great extras this model had, check out this web site:  LoveFords.org

Nice Timing

It looks like my wife and I picked the perfect time to visit.  We arrived just hours after the “Cruiser” was delivered to Kathy’s brother.  To say that Kenny was excited would be an understatement.

He told me how he has wanted this car for over ten years.  Fully restored Turnpike Cruisers are pretty rare, but he purchased his “dream cruiser” at a great price.

Don’t Give Up On Your Dreams

Dreams don’t happen over night; most often it takes some patient waiting.  But, sadly, a lot of people just give up on their dreams.  They allow situations and circumstances to talk them out of their dreams.

The Bible talks about God giving you the desires of your heart.  So, you can wait patiently, having confidence in God to do what He said He would do, or, you can get talked out of your dreams.

It Was A Treat

I was so happy to be there to share in Kenny’s excitement.  It was so much fun for me to see another one of his dreams come to pass.  And it was certainly a treat to go for a ride.  Not too many people can say that they got to go for a ride in a 1957 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser.

Don’t give up on your dreams, whatever they may be.
