Your memoir, your story, is about so much more than YOU.
Your
memoir can offer optimism
to
those who have lost hope.
It
can offer balm
to
those with breaking hearts.
Your
story can model courage for those
struggling
to overcome cowardice.
It
can inspire the unforgiving
to
forgive.
Your
story can encourage calm
for
those tangled in chaos.
It
can point people back to God
when
they’ve strayed.
Your
story can shine light in the darkness.
Your
memoir can right wrongs. “Whenever one person stands up and says, ‘Wait a
minute, this is wrong,’ it encourages other people to do the same.” (Clergy Coaching Network)
Your story can offer others camaraderie. “When you share your story of struggle, you offer me companionship in mine, and that's the most powerful soul medicine I know.” (Parker Palmer, On the Brink of Everything.)
God has a plan for your story.
You might never know all the ways
He will use it in the lives
of unknown numbers of people,
even some yet unborn.
Just think of that!
Keep writing!
There you have it: Your Tuesday Tidbit.
Linda, you do a wonderful job of encouraging others.
