Experiencing loss––in the varied ways it comes to us––affects everyone differently. As adults, we have ways to verbalize how we are feeling. Many children, however, lack the vocabulary and the understanding to name the emotions they experience when they go through grief. They just know they are hurting inside. They are feeling sad, angry, lonely, or maybe even scared. These feelings manifest in different ways depending on the age of the children. This book explores the story of a sister and a brother who love watching a mama bird care for her babies until the unthinkable...

28 Days of Praising My Savior - with joy, laughter and gladness!

This book is a peek into my journey through fostering and adopting children. It's also the story of how I became so passionate about "the lost children" in our society, both in the USA and abroad. While fostering children was not a choice for me, I never thought I could emotionally handle it, it became an eye-opener to the number of abused and neglected children that live just around the corner. From the first two children that came for the weekend, to the ones that came after we were officially foster parents, I never regretted a minute. ...

None of us start off life saying, “I want to be a failure,” or “I want to grow up and get divorced someday,” or “Someday I hope I’ll become a drug addict, or a widow, or sleep around with lots of people, or fail at business, or go bankrupt.” Our childlike faith convinces us we’ll do better, that we’ll defy the odds somehow. But life has a way of showing up and kicking the tar out of that simple, childlike faith, doesn’t it? Whether it’s from our own choices and decisions, or from the choices and decisions of others, ultimately...
