I had a wonderful birthday yesterday. Went to the Oregon coast, and had dinner. Sat by a huge window and was able to see the sun set while I enjoyed my dinner. Doesn’t get much better than that.

We all know that we don’t always have special days. Some days seem like eternity. They have several storms come through to ruin your day. I know you have been there. I certainly have. You turn down the wrong street and then are late to work. You forgot you have steaks on the BBQ and now you have black  squares of nothing. The dog bites the neighbor, and they are suing.

I am sure you have many other stories to share. What does this do to people? I know what it does! It causes anxiety, fear, depression, self-doubt, low self-esteem, and even hopelessness.

You don’t have to let any of these afflictions overcome you. 

You know that you have a heavenly Father who will be there to hold your hand through all the storms. He doesn’t stop them, He is just there to help calm them.

I have written a book called, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World,” that speaks to all of these afflictions and more. It has chapters on persistence, prayer, and perseverance. It covers ways to cope, and how to be strong during the trials of life.

What does it mean to be unique? Well, Websters Dictionary says:

“1. Existing as the only one of a kind. 2. Having no equal; unparalleled.”

Does that fit you? Do you feel unique? Maybe you don’t. Maybe you feel like the world is pulling you down like a huge magnate, and you have no meaning; no purpose in life.

Time to put a stop to that, my friend!

God made you and then through away the mold. You are  one of a kind. You are placed on this earth for a purpose.

I didn’t always believe that myself. When I retired from teaching, I didn’t have a clear road ahead of me. I wondered, “What now?” I didn’t feel very unique at all. As a matter of fact on March 31st, 2001, I was sitting in my Explorer trying to decide if I wanted to check out of this hotel called earth. God got in the Explorer with me and held my hand. He showed me I was still unique, and had a purpose  to follow from God.

That purpose was writing my book, “Signs of Hope: ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.” God had me write this book to reach out to those who may be at the same spot I was in my Explorer. I relate them them, and share words of hope, and survival.

There have been many people who have bought this book, who have called, emailed, or told me n person, that this book was written just for them and it gave them the tools to face the daily battle of life.

Never, ever give up!

What can we do as parents to be a good example to our children? We should realize that everything we do is being watch by them.

We are living in an, “Monkey see, monkey do,” world. If you are a kind and understanding parent, your children will probably be kind and understand. If you drink, your children will probably drink. If you take drugs, your children will probably take drugs. I think you get the picture.

Take an inventory of your life. What do you see? Is your life one you would be glad for your children to have?

I wasn’t always the perfect parent. Sometimes far from it, but I stuck to my Christian principles, and raised children that did the same. All three of my children are Christians, and they married Christian spouses.

You can say my job is done here on earth, but we are to be examples until we take our last breath.
