I gave a dedication speech about the Little Red Riding Hood sculpture in honor of my parents. My Father farmed all his life in Mason City, Iowa, and my parents had a rental property in the Mason City area. My Mother worked in a college library for two years, and she was once a school teacher and worked in the Mason City Public Library for many years. She was a young adult librarian working in the reference room and at the circulation desk. The wolf sculpture represents the wolf’s free spirit; we all have free souls and can read books and learn knowledge that will last us a lifetime. A librarian spreads knowledge through books, one book at a time until the books fill a vast library of knowledge you can use daily. My Mother was kind to people and always went the extra mile to help people at the library. My Mother would find books for them, help them with genealogy, and much more.

We should serve God, Honor Thy Mother and Thy Father, and be kind, compassionate, and loving. Bring Joy, Hope, Love, and Peace into people’s lives daily. Always remember the Lord came to serve and not to be done.

Your Legacy is how people remember you after you are gone. Have you left a legacy that will be proud of you for future generations? Have you made God and your parents proud of you while you have lived on Earth? Always try to do things that honor the values and teachings of God and your parents. Your Legacy is not about wealth or money. It is all about making the World a better place with the time that God gave you on Earth; make other people’s lives more accessible for them while you are on Earth, and you will have left an everlasting Legacy that will make your children, parents, and God proud of you. God Bless all of you today and always.

Isaiah 64- 8       But now, O Lord, thou art our Father, we are the clay, and thou our potter, and we are the work of thy hand.     We all start as a formless ball of clay, and God leads us along to form the perfect shape for our lives. We have many purposes: Mother, Father, caregiver, comforter, teacher, lawyer, farmer, librarian, minister, builder, doctor, and many more necessary professions. Let God make you the vessel you are supposed to be on Earth. You want to be a vessel that will enrich other people’s lives. Always be a good steward so people can see God’ss light shining through you and all you do. Do what you excel at doing, and always learn from your mistakes. No one is perfect but strives for the best you can be and spread God’s good works, and you will be the ideal vessel on Earth. Go out today and be God’s vessel.

We had an excellent reception in the Mason City Room at the public library following the Little Red Riding Hood Sculpture unveiling. Mary told us the history behind the book Little Red Riding Hood, which was quite interesting.

I saw the sculpture I purchased to honor my parents on the River City Sculptures on Parade Route, a 1.7-mile walk designed to lead people on a looping route to the Cultural Crescent and back to the central core of Mason City, Iowa. For more info, go to: sculpturesonparade.com. The Mason City Chamber of Commerce at masoncityia.com will help you purchase a sculpture. Sculptures are an excellent way to honor or remember a loved one or to support a cause. The sculptures beautify Mason City, Iowa.

A special Thank You to the Mason City Public Library, The Chamber of Commerce, the gifted people that make the sculptures, my friends, and everyone who helped me honor my parents today and for future generations. God bless you in all that you do.
