"I Believe in you!"

A message of Hope...stories from the road.

By Bob Perks

************************************************

Hello, my Friend!

There is a big news story making all of the news wires.

Everyone from Associated press to ABC reported the same thing.

"A 50-ton bowhead whale caught off the Alaskan coast last month had a weapon

fragment embedded in its neck that showed it survived a similar hunt — more than a century ago.

Embedded deep under its blubber was a 3?-inch arrow-shaped projectile that has given researchers

insight into the whale’s age, estimated between 115 and 130 years old."

Am I the only one who mourns the loss of the 130 year old whale?

Love always and all ways,

Bob and Marianne

Today's message:

"A B C"

By Bob Perks

My words are not mine most days. They just appear in my mind, on my computer screen

or on paper and I share them. I sat in a meeting recently listening to others

around me speak about all the challenges in life. The group was made up

of men and women of various ages.

One middle aged man wondered out loud why God had not permitted him to

be successful.

I stood up and said, "Success is as easy as A B C."

I then walked out of the room.

Of course this stirred the conversation and caused a number of people to laugh

at the simplicity of my statement.

I waited outside the door and listened.

"He has no idea what he is talking about!"

"Nothing in life is that simple!"

As I turned to walk away I heard a voice, "Sir! Pardon me."

I stopped and turned toward him.

"You caused quite a discussion in there."

"I always do," I replied.

"I couldn't let you go without an explanation," he said. "You said 'Success is as easy as A B C"

How can that be?"

I then pulled a small scrap of paper out of my jacket, walked over to a nearby table and scribbled

something on it.

"Out of all those people, you were the only one who showed interest in the possibility. It's a reflection

of today's society. We are made to believe that unless something is complex, multi-layered and expensive,

it cannot be of any value. Something simple is not worth pursuing. That is except for those who know

the truth...like you," I said.

I then handed him the note, smiled and walked away.

Before he opened the paper, I left the building, crossed the parking lot and got into my car.

I waited and watched the nearby window. He appeared there

smiling as he held the note up and waved.

This is what I wrote,

"You are "A" child of God.

You will "B" successful

when you "C" what He sees

in you."

"A B C"

"I believe in you!"

Bob

I encourage you to share my stories but I do ask that you keep my name and

contact information with my work.

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."
