I have been invited by an agent to do a proposal for a series of books on hope. That is big news in itself, but it isn’t a done deal. I have to write a proposal that will knock her socks off, and want her to become your agent. I am in the process of putting that together, and it isn’t an easy job. I think there may be a few thousand re-writes to get it the way I think is presentable. Wish me luck, and I will update you on the progress, and the outcome.

As we approach the holidays-it is only 41 days until Christmas-we have thoughts of hope and love.

There are those who feel the opposite during this time. Some feel deep depression, and hopelessness.

How could this happen?

I have one example of a friend who just lost his wife recently, and will face the holidays without his wife for the first time. There are those who have lost their jobs, and can’t see a very bright Christmas coming for their children as far as getting them gifts.

I could go on with other examples, but you get the picture. What can we do to help?

My friend has had many families from the church invite him to come to their homes for Thanksgiving and Christmas. He is prayed for by many prayer warriors.

For those who don’t have a rosy Christmas coming because of a loss of their jobs, you can send gifts to their home without letting them know who did it, and brighten up their look on life.

Think about these things as we approach the holidays. Think, “What would Jesus do to help these people? Think, what can you do to help these people? Then just do it.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all..never,ever, give up!

I have a task ahead of me. I was told by an agent to submit a proposal to her on doing a series of books under the  title, of “Signs of Hope.” It would books for seniors, teens, military, mothers, fathers, teachers, etc. It wouldn’t  completely be like the series called “Chicken Soup for the Soul.” It would be more from my heart. It would be more like Max Lucado’s type of writing.

I have to put this proposal together soon. I have been thinking a great deal on what approach to use. I will keep you updated as to how it is going.

______________________________________________________________

Have you wondered if God is there sometimes? Do you think He might be ignoring you?

I have been close a few times, but every time I even come close to thinking that God is far away, He steps in and soothes my soul much more than I ever expected, and brightens my darkened life.

I love the bumper sticker: “If you feel God is far away, guess who moved.”

Many think that when God comforts our hearts, our troubles should go away, but if that were so, people would turn to God only out of desire to be relieved of pain and not out of love for Him.

We must understand that being comforted can also mean receiving strength, encouragement, and hope to deal with our troubles. The more we suffer, the more God comforts us. If you are feeling overwhelmed, let God comfort you.

Remember, that every trial that you endure will help you to comfort someone else who is going through the same thing.

Also remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!
