A Wonderful Life, Part Three

It was my very first kiss. Summer youth camp at Mount Zion Park in Odessa, Missouri. One week each summer was like going to heaven, only without the angels and harps. I loved it. Swimming, fishing, canoeing, archery, and evening campfires. Oh, I almost forgot about the girls who were there. That’s what made campfire extra special. Sitting on a blanket with a cute girl and listening to the crackling fire while singing Kumbaya. Then at the end of the campfire time, while everyone was sitting quietly looking at the fire, kids got to tell about the day and what made it so special. Sometimes there were tears of joy and laughter. It was just great!

A Wonderful Life

 

A Wonderful Life is the title of my latest book. It is a memoir, a series of memories spanning my adult life thus far, and it covers many of my hopes and dreams, wishes and values that have shaped my life. The remembrances I have included in the book present a good view of the events and experiences which are most important to me -- my faith in a loving and merciful God, my love and devotion to my family, and my greatest hopes and dreams for the future. I hope you will enjoy reading my book and be inspired to write your own life story, your memoir. If you are interested in writing your own memoir, or your life story, I would be honored to assist you. You can write to me at geneallengroner@gmail.com and I will be happy to walk you through the steps and create a new book and digital copy for you that will last forever. It will be your gift to all your family for generations to come. Thank you and God bless you. 

Writing Your Memoir

 I have just finished writing and publishing my memoir on Amazon. It is 125 pages of various memories from my life that I want to pass on to my children, my grandchildren, and my future generations. Now I am available to help you write your memoirs.

It's not that difficult, really quite simple as a matter of fact. You can simply talk about your memories, recording them on a small digital recorder and getting the recordings to me so I can put your words on the pages of a book for your family to read whenever they want. That's all there is to it. 

I do it all the time---writing memoirs is both interesting and fun to do. I'd like to help you write yours. Just email me at geneallengroner@gmail.com and we can begin any time you like. Thanks for letting me be of service.

Yours sincerely,

Gene Groner, author and biographer    www.amazon.com 

Your Memory

Your memory is one of your most valuable assets. Important experiences you want to share with your family. Values and Beliefs that describe who you are. Snippets from your life and your work that may be interesting to others. It's human nature.

The French word for memory or remembrance is "memoir."

In writing my own memoir, I tried to focus on specific moments in my life rather than try to include my whole life's story. I was shooting for 100-150 pages so my family wouldn't get bogged down trying to read a lengthy novel. Moments in my life I felt were important to me, and the kind of things they might be interested in knowing about me. Like memories from my childhood, my faith, my work, my dreams. 

I wish my grandparents would have shared some of their memories so I could get to know them better. They didn't. But you can share some of your memories with your children and your children's children. It's not that difficult, really quite simple as a matter of fact. You can simply talk about your memories, recording them on a small digital recorder and getting the recordings to me so I can put your words on the pages of a book for your family to read whenever they want. That's all there is to it. 

I do it all the time---writing memoirs is both interesting and fun to do. I'd like to help you write yours. Just email me at geneallengroner@gmail.com and we can begin any time you like. Thanks for letting me be of service.

Yours sincerely,

The Story of Your Life

Have you ever thought how wonderful it would be to know all about your grandparents or great-grandparents? The truth is you can only know what has been written about them unless you are fortunate enough to have known them personally.

Now you can leave the legacy of your life’s  story in your own words. You can tell your story, all that you want your family and the generations to know about you by writing your memoir. I know. You are not a writer. Well, fret not. I am a professional writer and I can help you. The process is very simple. Here’s how:

I will provide you with a small digital recorder that you can conveniently carry with you wherever you go. You just tell your story the way you want your family to hear it and let me do the rest. My job is to transcribe your words from the recording and publish it in book and digital format for you and your family. All at your own convenience. Just let me know when you are ready to begin. That’s it! You can write to me at geneallengroner@gmail.com and we can begin whenever you like. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely yours, 

Gene Groner, Author and Storyteller www.amazon.com

By his Grace

 First of all I’m thankful to be here today!

Like many of you, I have had my trials and disappointments.

But as I look at those times (some that were quite lengthy) God has been there to guide me, protect me, and heal me.

I’m thankful for a loving God who loves us unconditionally and even in times when we have disappointed him he forgives us by his grace.

I have many things for which I am thankful.

I had good parents who brought me up in this church, a loving family who are amazing, and lots of church friends.

I am thankful for the times my Heavenly Father has healed me, protected me, and guided my life.

I am thankful for all our blessings. As we interview and talk to the people who come to our Necessities Pantry, I feel very blessed. I could tell you many stories. Many have very little food, clothing, and sometimes no shelter. We have much to be thankful for. Our hearts go out to those people. There is so much need on this earth. There has never been a time when the good news of Jesus Christ is so needed.

I love serving the Lord and pray for the health and strength to continue to serve.

Thanks to each of you for all your prayers. I also offer my prayers on your behalf. 

Thanks and praise be to God our healer, friend, and savior.
