I had the joyous moment of being able to tell my children that my books has received a national award. I wasn’t bragging, I was wanting them to know that hard work will lead you to rewards like this.

You too can get a few treats, and endorsements if you also work hard and apply to the many award programs.

My award is from the Reader’s Favorite Awards. It gives out awards every years for the top books in various categories. My category was Christian self-help. They sent me stickers to put on my books, and it will help in the sales of the books in the future.

I am so saddened by the recent events in the United States where the shootings took so many lives. The last one there were 20 children between the ages of 5-8 years old.

Why did these horrendous acts happen. Why would God allows this?

I can only say that our God is a livening God. he is such a loving God that He allows us to make choices, and then we have to face Him later for the decisions we make.

God will deal with the people who caused these horrible acts, and since some were little children, I am sure He won’t be very understanding with the people who caused their deaths.

God made you and I in His own image. he didn’t even do that for the angels. If he loves us that much, you can know that he wants only the best for each of us. You can also knows that he is very sad about the happens not only in the United States, but around the world.

Remember:

You are not alone.

You are not forsaken.

You are not unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

I got a call from my dentist yesterday. No, it wasn’t to set-up an appointment. It was a call to tell me they had sold out of my book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.”

Yes, I have a free book sitting in the waiting room for the clients to look at. You sometimes have to use a free book to sell many others.  It has a card and a little note in it to check with the receptionist if they are interested in buying it. That’s it. No more promotion than that.

I have sold over ten books right from my dentist’s office.

You can do the same thing. If your dentist is not in a clinic (they are by themselves) ask if you can leave a book in their waiting room; leave two or three books with the receptionist, and wait for the money to start coming in. Be sure to have a note on the inside cover about the books available.

There are many unusual places to sell your books, and there is very little effort to do it. I will share more in my next post.

Do you sometimes feel that God isn’t listening. Do you think He doesn’t care. Have you felt God doesn’t even know who you are?

God is a very loving God. We just need to let Him show us that. We don’t need to wonder if He loves us. He created us in His own image. He didn’t even do that for the angels. If He went as far as to do that for you, don’t you think He loves you? Read the versus below and see God has made you His adopted child. He loves you and will care for you like any earthly father would for their child.

 “But when the appropriate time had come, God sent out his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we may be adopted as sons with full rights. And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, who calls “Abba! Father!  Galatians 4:4-6″

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

I just bought a “generation 4,” I-Pad. I am kind of lost right now, but through trial and error I will do just fine eventually. I am trying to hook up the router today, but no success. Yes, I know, routers are one of easiest things to get started. However, I am a dinosaur when it come to computers, and electronics.

I have a friend coming over tomorrow morning to help me get everything hooked up. I even have a new wireless printer. I am trying to catch up fast, and when I have learned all of this I will be an official member of the geek squad!

 It can be devastating when someone you cares about has a stroke, or a heart attack. I have three close friends have a stroke. One passed away. the others and mending slowly. I also had a dear friend that had a heart attack about five months ago. he was close to death, but God pulled him through it. He is so thankful today, that he spends much of his time praising the Lord, and giving Him all the credit for still being on this earth.

Have you had this happen to you? Has a loved one been stricken?

When it first happens, our world, as we know it seems to stop. We can’t function very well. We go into doubt, and even anger.

We have no control of the outcome. We feel helpless.

My father died in 2001, and I was at the hospital with him when he died. I just sat there by his bed, and felt hopeless. I held his hand, and he squeezed it once and a while.

Then he stopped doing that and he was gone. I had mixed emotions right then. Part of me was relieved that he wasn’t suffering anymore, and was at peace. The other part grieved that he had left me.

I know that many of you have been through the same thing.

I pray very hard for a peaceful passing of my loved ones when something happens and they know it won’t be much longer. I pray with earnest love, when they tell me that there is hope. I prayer for strength when they are gone, and I am left alone.

Do you see a pattern here? Prayer is the direct communication line to God. There are no rate fees, special charges, or long distance fees. He is on speed dial 24/7.

He is just a prayer away. He is listening. He cares.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!
