For the past few weeks, staying positive has been a struggle. Why? For starters, the fourth quarter of this interminable winter finally melted away, creating a flood zone. So after two successful speaking engagements (at this point \u201csuccessful\u201d means they weren\u2019t postponed because of weather, not that I was mobbed by crowds of adoring fans), I\u2019m wondering if we should rent an ark for the three scheduled next week.<\/p>\n

I have to do something since earning a speaking fee is hard when you can\u2019t speak, and selling books isn\u2019t easy without a crowd. These days, I\u2019m constantly reminding myself that what I do isn\u2019t about making money. It\u2019s about taking the parenting experiences God\u2019s given our family and using them to minister to parents who need the hope while raising their kids with different dreams. Apparently God knew I was sorely in need of a little hope myself and sent some along in American Profile<\/em>, a weekly magazine that comes with our Saturday paper.<\/p>\n

One of the articles in the February 21-27, 2010 issue was about Marian Wright Edelman, a woman who has devoted her life to crusading for disadvantaged kids. Near the end of the story, Giving Children a Voice<\/em>, she says, \u201cMy faith doesn\u2019t tell me that you have to win. You\u2019ve got to get up every day and decide to be the best that you can. You don\u2019t give up; you persevere. We don\u2019t have the right to give up on any child.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marian\u2019s words were a godsend, shifting my attention from dollars earned to lives changed, my mindset from giving up to going on, and my attitude from self-centered to child-centered. You can benefit from her perspective by reading the entire article at www.americanprofile.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ever since reading the story, one sentence pushes me out of bed every morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t have the right to give up on any child.\u201d
\n\u201cWe don\u2019t have the right to give up on any child.\u201d
\n\u201cWe don\u2019t have the right to give up on any child.\u201d<\/p>\n
