You are perfectly you, and no one can take your place in this world. Not one of us is here on earth by chance or accident. Now more than ever it is essential that we let our children know they are here for a reason. There is a Creator who took time and gave incredible thought to their existence. There is a reason and purpose behind each child's birth-even if they cannot see it yet. We face challenges throughout our lives that make us question whether we are really meant to be part of this world. You Were Once A Dream is a simple yet important reminder to children-and inner children-that each and every one of us is valuable and worthy. Using Jeremiah 1:5 as the foundation, these words aim to encourage children to begin thinking about who they are and why they are here on earth. It is never too early to let children know they have been carefully crafted for such a time as this. All children should know they were thought about before they were born and carried in the heart of God until just the right time. This bedtime story will support parents, guardians, caregivers, family, and friends in reminding children there is no doubt about how special and unique they have been created to be.
