Some thoughts for you…

When we says words to try to hurt someone, it usually comes  back to bite you. Think of it as drinking from a doctor’s office waiting room drinking fountain. Nothing good can come out of that.

The same is true if we attempt to hurt someone with our words. Belittling words cause deep scars. They may never go away, and it is too late once you blurt them out.

I think of the story of a little boy that was out of control at school. He bullied other kids; called them names, and had many crying. The principle met with the boy and his father. The father said he would take care of it.

he told the boy to put some nails and a hammer out on the back deck table, and every time he got angry or wanted to hurt someone verbally he was to pound  a nail into the fence.

The boy quickly had put many nails in the fence, but with time it decreased. Eventually he stopped saying hurting things to kids at the school. He was proud and told the dad.

The dad then said, pull out one nail, each time you say something nice about someone. it took a while to get started, but eventually he was able to pull all the nails out. He was proud and showed his father.

The dad said very good my son, but look, there is still the holes in the fence. They will never go away, and that is what happens when you hurt someone with your words.

Learn from this that you can hurt deeply by just one thing you have said.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never unloved.

You are never forsaken.

And above all…never, ever,  give up!

                             How to Face the Demons that Chase us

I am happy to announce that my blog, www.dailysignsofhope.com has a new partner. Michael Clark has joined me to share his battle with drugs and how he turned to God to help him conquer it.

I met Michael through Facebook. We built an instant friendship through sharing our hurts, defeats, and how we over came them. We are very similar, even though we went through a different channel. We both fought, anxiety, self doubt, low self esteem, depression, and even hopelessness.

I invite  you to mark www.dailysignsofhope.com as a favorite and check back often. Michael and I will be taking turns posting. Our different writing styles will reach out to different people, and hopefully help others to find help.

I have good/? news. I put the question mark there because it could be bad news, but not yet. I have been lucky enough to have an agent, and a publisher be interested enough in my work to have me send a proposal to them.

That was six weeks ago. I was told it takes up to three months before they answer back. Patience is not my best virtue, and this waiting game is hard.

You will be the first to know when I find out the results.
