Reflection 42: You Are the Hero of Your Own Unique Life Story

Whether They're Big or Small, You Rise to Every Challenge, and That Makes You a Hero.
As a little boy you probably pictured yourself as the hero of many an imaginary adventure. You commanded countless battalions of soldiers, carried beautiful women from burning buildings, and saved earth from invading space aliens. You're still a hero, you know. No space aliens to deal with, of course, but now you're fighting real things, like the security and happiness of your loved ones. When you're not working to provide for us, you're doing battle with leaking pipes, outdoor Christmas lights, and dead car batteries. Neighbors and friends turn to you when they need help. Your every dream, your every talent, the people you impact on a daily basis - they're all part of the unique story of you. You're still a hero.

'Faith is the great motive power, and no man realizes his full possibilities unless he has the deep conviction that life is eternally important, and that his work, well done, is part of an unending plan.' ~Calvin Coolidge

"For you know the plans I have for you," says the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and future." Jeremiah 29:11
