In this case late was not only better than never, late was perfect. I can’t tell you how excited I was to hear I had won something, anything… and then your book arrived and I realized not only had I won something, but I had won just what I needed at that very moment! Apparently the Lord had a message for me and He used you to deliver it! I have been at the end of my rope with the day to day responsibilities of a wife, mom, daughter, friend for some time now, and the day the book arrived was no different. So, I sent the kids to watch TV (PBS Kids, it’s educational ) and sat down with your book. Wow, just to be reminded who is at the other end of that rope I am dangling from… what an incredible feeling. And the book… I read the first chapter and laughed so hard I cried… not the little tears that sometimes squeeze out when you hear a good joke, but real tears: tears of loss, sadness, understanding, and hope. Yes, we’ve been through a lot this year. Yes, the day to day is hard. But, still the Lord is with us and there is hope!! All this from one chapter! Teresa, thank you again. God bless you and your family.
