The Gift of Faith: Finding Rest in a Dark Place
What do you do when you find yourself in a dark place? In my book, “The Gift of a Dozen More” we learn that gratitude is a form of rest. Faith too is a form of rest. When we are grateful for what we have instead of dwelling on what we do not, we find…

The Gift of a Winter Bloom
About a week before the January freeze, I walked outside to notice a beautiful bloom on my rose bush. The other parts of the plant had gone dormant, failing to thrive in the winter weather. It’s easy to bloom when the conditions are right, isn’t it? But what about when life is bleak and nothing…

The Gift of a Songbird
During my walk the other morning, I heard the voice of a songbird somewhere in the midst of the bare trees hovering above me. I began to notice how every branch was a part of something bigger than itself—the trunk. The branches reminded me a lot of blood vessels. Blood vessels are channels that transport…

The Gift of Gratitude: Giving Birth to Joy and Peace
The common theme in my two books, “The Gift of a Dozen Reasons” and its sequel, “The Gift of a Dozen More”, is gratitude. In gratitude, we glorify God for all He’s done for us, and He in turn fills our hearts with true joy. In gratitude, we find peace in various trials. When we…

The Gift of a Dozen More
I walked outside and saw the sun shining once again. It reminded me of all the joy you gave to me back then. . I saw two blue jays fly above me, and then I thought of you. Because the birds flew just like angels, and your eyes were the color blue. . The tree…

The Gift of Being Yourself
What’s the one thing you have to offer the world that no one else has? The one unique thing you have to offer is you. Be you! Always be you; everyone else is taken. I drive by this house almost daily, but for some reason, the other day, that bright pink door spoke to me.…
