Chapter 6: Finding Strength
John woke up early one morning,
feeling a new sense of determination. The past few weeks had been filled with
ups and downs, but he had learned something important: even when things are
hard, he can find strength inside himself.
Mrs. Haper noticed John sitting
quietly at the breakfast table, staring at his plate. She sat beside him and
gently asked, “How are you feeling today, John?”
He shrugged, not quite sure how
to answer. “I guess I’m okay,” he mumbled.
She smiled softly. “Sometimes,
when things are tough, it helps to remember how strong you already are. You’ve
been through so much, and you’re still here, still trying.”
John looked up, curious. “Really?
I don’t feel strong.”
Mrs. Haper took his hand. “You
are. Every day you wake up and face what’s in front of you that takes courage.
And each time you draw in your hope journal, you’re showing strength, too.”
John thought about her words. He
remembered all the times he’d felt sad or scared, but still managed to get up
and keep going. It was hard, but he was doing it.
Later that day, John decided to
try something new. He joined a small group of children playing outside in the
yard. They were building a big tower with blocks, laughing and sharing. John hesitated
at first, unsure if he should join, but then he took a deep breath and stepped
in.
He carefully added a block to the
tower, and soon, the children welcomed him into their game. John felt a warm
glow inside like a tiny spark of hope and strength combined.
As he watched the tower grow
taller, John realized that even small steps could lead to big changes. He was
learning that he didn’t have to face everything alone that he had the strength
to reach out, to try, and to believe in a better tomorrow.
From that day on, John carried
his newfound strength with him, knowing that no matter what challenges came his
way, he had the courage to face them. And with each passing day, he was
becoming a little stronger not just in body, but in hope and heart.
