Hope from a Wishchild

"One thing that's true for every person is that sometimes things go wrong. Sometimes the worst possible thing happens, and we are all caught off guard and don't know just what to do. We struggle, we worry and we cry. Yet even when things go horribly wrong, very few things stay wrong. No matter how wrong a thing, no matter how bad the hurt, no matter how scary the news, things do get better. If you cut your finger, almost the very next second it has already started to heal. Our biggest hurts and losses fade with time. Broken toys get fixed or you get new ones that you love just as much. Things you tried to do and messed all up help you learn to do new and bolder things. When things are wrong and we are hurting, it is not the end of the world. Our hearts might hurt like the world is over but really those times are beginnings not endings. It is doors closing and new doors opening, often to nicer, happier places. When things are wrong, that's when we get to discover who we are, and who is with us. When bad times come, you find out you are really a brave person who can fight through terrible things and come out on top. You discover your strong supporters and true friends. You find God. And you see that you have a powerful hero living inside yourself. Don't hope for things to go wrong, but when they do, don't waste your pain. Use it to carry you upward and onward to better, brighter things."

This book is for anyone who is facing difficult times, in need of a dose of courage, or struggling to find meaning in their day-to-day existence. It also makes an inspiring gift.
