I  have had a fabulous day, (so far.) I looked out my window this morning and an ugly “no trespassing,” sign was gone that was peeking over my back fence.

I told you a week or so ago, about my mistake in assuming my back neighbors needed help weeding their yard. They had some health issues, and didn’t have time to weed. I went there and did some weeding for them. Well, you would have thought I had attacked them with  a cannon or something. The very next day the signs lined my fence.

I had assumed they needed help, and they were telling me with the signs, “don’t tread on our property.”

I gave them a copy of my book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World,” and placed an apology note inside it.

This morning the signs were gone.  God is so good.

The second reason I am so happy today is that I got an answer to prayer about two hours ago. I had been praying constantly for a close friend to not only be healed, but that God would help him with the battle he was having with the pain pills, and addiction.

I can’t say yet that God has healed him from his illness, but I can say that he has won (for now) the battle with the pain killers. He emailed me a couple hours ago and reassured me he was OK in that department.

Two different things that I have been praying about, and God answered them both. Prayer can be a powerful thing. We often take it for granted. We should know that God is always listening, and expect a answer. He may not always answer it the way we expect, but He will answer.

The are stories in my book, “Signs of Hope! Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World,” That talk about prayer. I have decided that starting tomorrow, I will be placing excerpts directly from the book on my posts here. So start looking for them daily.

The book reaches out to those who suffer from anxiety, fear, self-doubt, depression, addictions, hopelessness, etc.

Life is Tough and Then you Die

I have had an interesting week. I was talking to the neighbor lady, and she told me that her husband had  surgery and wasn’t doing too well, and that she was extremely busy trying to keep things going.

I noticed that her yard was full of weeds. Even higher than my fence. I decided to be a “Good Samaritan,” and go weed along our fence area for her.

Big mistake! The next day there were two “No trespassing,” signs glaring over the fence directed at my back yard.

I realized that I had done the wrong thing. I should have asked first if they wanted help. (Hind sight is always easier!)

I immediately wrote an apology, put it inside one of my books, and placed it on their front porch. (I didn’t think they were in a talking mood right then, and I didn’t have a phone number.)

The signs are still up, and I haven’t heard a thing from my neighbors yet.  

What are we suppose to do? Are we better off to turn our backs on people when it looks like they need help?

Have you had a similar experience?

I think I know the answer to this story. Jesus says to love your neighbors, (even mine) as we do ourselves. We should continue to reach out to others that need help.

I have only had two incidents where the people got upset when I tried to help them. I can tell you hundreds of others stories where people gladly accepted the help and were very thankful.

Man! The United States Government is going down to the wire on trying to stop our country from going bankrupt. It seems so silly that grown men and women can’t agree enough to save their country from all this stress.

I am not blaming just the Republicans, Democrats or the Independents. I am blaming ALL of them. They need to learn a new word called compromise!

I am reminding you that my book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World,” is on a special sale right now. It is listed at $19.99 in all the retail stores, but if you order from this site it is only $15.99. The shipping is cut in half as well. A total savings of over $6.00.

It is a books that is very fitting in our current economy. It reaches out to those who suffer from anxiety, fear, depression, self-doubt, hopelessness, addictions, etc. There is certainly many people suffering from at least one of those. If you know of someone who may fit into one of the above afflictions, this is a great book for them.

Life is tough and then you die. That is a hard statement, but my answer to that is: Never, ever, give up!!
