"I Believe in you!"
A message of Hope...stories from the
road.
By Bob Perks
************************************************
Hello, my Friend!
This week passed me by so fast I was just getting ready
for Monday
and Friday came knocking at my door.
I hope it was a good week for you and a great weekend
ahead.
My daughter-in-law began this new journey toward
parenthood with a simple blood test.
The action, although common place, may very well send
ripples through
the rest of our lives.
Prayer is the answer.
Love always and all ways,
Bob and Marianne

forward, say two words,
"I can," and you'll already have accomplished more than
most people who
dream out loud and do nothing."

Today's message:
"Left with yourself"
By Bob Perks
"It's not like the "man in the mirror," he
said.
"You're referring to the idea that we need to face
ourselves each day," I replied.
"This is different?"
"Yes," he said quietly. "You don't have to look in a
mirror if you don't want to."
"Good point."
"But we face this same moment everyday whether
we choose to acknowledge it
or not," he said.
He then asked me, "How right do you feel when you are left
with yourself?"
Holding hands that welcome the touch.
Passing by, walking away, staying until...
Doing all that you can.
Falling short of expectations.
Listening when no one else will.
Speaking out because you know you should.
Stopping.
Going.
Writing.
Calling.
Walking tall.
Falling down.
Trying harder than you did yesterday.
Making promises you keep this time.
Changing habits that hurt more than they
satisfy.
Giving more.
Receiving graciously.
Thanks.
Forgiving.
Being faithful.
Living faith-filled.
Being an example.
Working out and moving on. Taking action.
Refraining from speaking without
thinking first.
Living up to, standing up for, giving up and giving
in.
Are you surrounded by many or living with much?
Alone by choice or by chance?
Life is so simply complex and
so complete yet void of things
expected and nothing at the same time.
It makes no sense at all and yet, remains
clear.
Still, there comes a moment each day, when all that you have and all that you need
you find in the words that repeat in your
mind.
For it all comes down to one thing.
In that moment you are all that you have.
"How right do you feel when you are "left with
yourself?"
"I believe in you!"
Bob

"I Wish You enough!"
© 2001 Bob Perks I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger. I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting. I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess. I wish you enough "Hello's" to get you through the final "Goodbye." |
