IF It Is To Be, It Is Up To ME

I once knew a man who could figure and plan the stories he intended to write
But the minutes, the hours, even weeks flew by, with never a word in sight.
He'd set up his platform, work through the night, a great protagonist to defend!
He'd dream and envision, mark the revisions, with the greatest novel to thank.
Imagine the surprise in everyone's eyes, to find when he died, his pages were blank.

  My dear readers, remember, there is someone out there who needs your words---your story.
*.  Your Own Story. James Gilcrest Lawson said writing a book changes you throughout the process. You will be a different person after you write and reflect.
 Your Family. 
*   Future Generations. My distant relative wrote his book years ago. I doubt he everthought about his great-great-nephew reading it.  There will be poeople in your family yet to be born who will be proud and touched by the book you wrote.
* People You Minister To. The people you connect with are going to feel and receive your message.Your book is the furtherance of your calling.
* People Who receive A Copy. Think of the impact of books passed to you.
* PeopleBeyond Your Circle.  You have no idea where your book can end up around the world.  The possibilities are endless---and so is the number of hearts it can change.

   ..Until next time, think on these things...
