EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) — For some El Pasoans driving along Mesa past the Westside Church of Christ, the sign offers a weekly reminder that a few words can make a meaningful difference.<\/p>\n
Three years ago, Robert Siqueiros asked if he could write the weekly quotes on the sign outside the church. A quick look through Google Maps shows the messages he has shared over the years.<\/p>\n
\u201cDear pastor and members of Westside Church of Christ. I’m writing with a grateful heart to thank you for the messages you post on your bulletin board each week,” said Robert Siqueiros.<\/p>\n
Every morning, Robert and his daughter, Piper, drive past the sign on their way to school.<\/p>\n
\u201cPiper has dyslexia and reading can be tough for her, but she insists on reading your sign out loud every day,” said Robert.<\/p>\n
Robert says each quote comes to him through prayer.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s become a beautiful part of our routine, and she reads the message. After she reads it, we talk about it and what it means, and it’s such a positive tone for her day. What may seem like a simple sign has become a real blessing in our lives,” said Robert.<\/p>\n
Robert says he wants each message to convey something true and beneficial, just as his messages have helped Piper and her family.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you again for the light you shine in our community and neighborhood. We see it and we’re so grateful,” said Robert.<\/p>\n
He says seeing the impact the messages have made on the community is like a prayer answered.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wanted to, to make a difference in their lives, in their day, at least, you know, where they got a message there that made them think and, and maybe cleared up a few things for them,” said Robert.<\/p>\n
After receiving the letter about Piper, Robert dedicated a message to her, wishing her a great day.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou get some blessings and some, sometimes you pray and you don’t get an answer on your prayer, at least not then. Sometimes, trials will happen and I, I personally believe that, that’s part of God’s plan. He wants us to grow,” said Robert.<\/p>\n
For Robert and Piper, the church sign has become more than a roadside message. It is part of their morning routine\u2014a moment to read, reflect and begin the day on a positive note. For others in the neighborhood, the weekly quotes offer a brief pause and a chance to think about something meaningful.<\/p>\n
