Song of the Week - "This is the Stuff"

This week's song is fun to sing along to, it seems to sound a lot like my life and probably yours as well. It also has a great message to it. So often we get caught up in the here and now and the little idiosyncrasies that seem to take center stage. However, most of the time these things are not important.

We need to remember that in spite of all the little things that may be interrupting our days, we should be mindful of the blessings God has given. Sometimes those blessings may be hard to see, until you awaken your mind to them.

I have a little blank book that someone gave me years ago. I decided to call it my Blessings Book. In that book I write down all the little ways in which God has blessed me. This helps me to never forget.

So while you listen to the song this week, don't get caught up in the fact that you lost your keys (or someone lost them for you) or that your toilet is overflowing because someone thought it was a good idea to stick a squirt gun down there. Get caught up in the blessings God gives.

Ivy Introspective

Please welcome Kellyn Roth to the blog today. She has a new book out and was kind enough to share it with us. What inspired you to write this book? I always knew I was going to write a story about Alice's sister, Ivy. So I did. I'd somewhat impulsively said she'd had mental issues in book 1 (darned little 14-year-old me!) - so I had to do the research. And once I did, I realized writing a story about her was going to be challenging at the least! However, I was determined to do so - and more than that, to help her. Because it's not easy having any minor learning disability or anxiety or anything of the sort even in today's world. In the Victorian era, it was more like a death sentence. Click the cover to go to Amazon So, slowly, I found a way to help! And that's the story I wrote. Is there a message in your book you want people to walk away with? That they have worth no matter who they are or what they've done, and they are not...
