Sometimes even I get tired and drained by what I do every week. And despite my normally positive attitude, I occasionally question whether my efforts are for naught.
Every time, God sends a little confirmation that I'm still on the right path!
Between the people I met this past weekend, the wonderful new readers and store employees, I was boosted again. From the woman who works with young people with illnesses and disorders to the the wonderful young employee who purchased both books, I felt regenerated and convicted.
It came from the most delightful email I received from someone to whom I had made a difference. Just knowing one chance encounter could change someone's life gives me such a drive to keep reaching out.
And it came from someone telling me that I spur on the efforts of other authors, setting the bar high.
Guess there's no quitting now!
The word 'encourage' means "to inspire courage". The latent potential within someone in their areas of insecurity may await your encouraging words.

When the dream's big enough ...
Okay, time for a sports rant.
If you still don't believe that when the dream's big enough, the facts don't count ... then take a look at New England's quarterback situation.
Brady starts - that's a given. They had a #2 and two people vying for #3. Well, now the former #2 is now one of those people.
And 42 year old, 5'10" Doug Flutie has taken over the #2 spot!!!
That is incredible!
Football players retire before they are 40.
Quarterbacks have to be at least 6'3".
Wrong!
It is totally amazing to watch Doug Flutie run around the field like a kid and throw the ball with such perfect aim. No one plays the game like he does. There really is "Flutie Magic"!
And proof, once and for all -

Really loving & caring
It's amazing how quickly and quietly love can creep up on you. How much you can find yourself caring for another.
The young lady who has been staying with us has definately captured our hearts. And we will miss her when she leaves.
Hopefully she has learned from us as much as we have learned from her!
Love is a voluntary attitude towards people.

Thoughts for the Day
Love does not make you weak, because it is the source of all strength, but it makes you see the nothingness of the illusory strength on which you depended before you knew it.

Our opinion of people depends less upon what we see in them than uponwhat they make us see in ourselves.
