The Last Page of One Book

…Then the year came to an end.

What an amazing tale.

                I've been chatting with you all for yet another year and have enjoyed every minute.

Whoa! The stories we've shared, and the fun company around 

                                    the fireside when the weather is cold

                                                                the beach when the weather is warm
         
Discussing intriguing topics about God's world

Meeting authors--and participating in their book giveaways.

Sharing needs

Praying

Blessing


As this year draw to an end, take a moment to remember how the Lord has blessed. Yes, we can all think of tragedies, and lament with each other over those moments and there is a time for that….

For today, though, lets dwell on the good and praise God for what he has given us. Help me make a list. There is no order, just add whatever pops in you head:

Home
Family
Food
Church
Salvation
The Bible
Eyes that can read
Ears to hear
Mouths to taste
Feet that can walk


Keep the list going….

And just for you!

For this week, the ending of 2013 and the beginning of 2014, I am having a book giveaway from my stash of fabulous author books. I have a stack of about fifteen books and would love to share with you. (Books by Terri Blackstock, Julie Lessman, Frank Peretti, Ted Dekker, Beverly Lewis, Tracie Peterson, Rachel Hauck, Anita Higman, Dan Walsh/Gary Smally, Kathy Herman--and more)

May the Lord greatly bless you in this coming year. 
May the trial be manageable, 
and the joys a pinnacle experience.

So many things to be thankful for - but the two that pop into my mind are friends and modern medicine (besides the ones on your list, of course :D). Have loved stopping by here and reading (even when I don't comment.), and many of those authors up there are faves. Would LOVE to be a winner :). Blessings!
Good friends is an excellent choice, Patty!
I think we consider all the friends here good friends. What a great place to gather!
Looking forward to another year with you, Patty!
Susan!
Haven't heard from you in a bit. I'm so glad you're back. Hope your Christmas season was a blessing.
Hands. Great word. And yes, using them to worship in many ways is a great idea, one that will bring you blessings and please our Father.

Looking forward to seeing you a lot this new year.
Pam,
A beautiful world. I guess we need to us "Eyes" to see the beautiful world. Too often we see that bad, but with God's help….you will have eyes to see the beautiful world. May God richly bless you.
I am so thankful to see you again and look forward to spending the new year with you.
Good health. Yes, Maxie. I'll pray God's blessing on good health for you. I enjoy talking with you the many times you are able to stop by and look forward to many more times.
Joanne,
I am so excited to stay in contact with you this way. I am missing you already from the loop. Being thankful for friends and modern medicine are great choices. Modern medicine is something I am using today with a nasty cold. I pray that you won't be in need of modern medicine this year, but also am thankful, that should the need arise, you will have access to it.

Each time I send out an email post, know that I am waving hi to you :)

Happy New Year! I'm thankful for the freedom we still have in this country!! Donna d[dot]brookmyer[at]yahoo[dot]com
Hi Donna!
Happy New Year to you, also!
Freedom. Great word. Praise God we can worship freely. I am also so very thankful for the soldiers and related workers who have fought to give us the freedom. We are so blessed!
I'm looking forward to seeing you often this year, Donna.

Tea! Had my first Christmas Tea. I think I'll do it again.

You and me both, Cindy. What kind of tea did you have? My son bought me a new kind. The tin said "Paris". Not sure what is in it but it sure tastes good.
So nice to see you here today.

Fabulous Friday Feature-Candace Calvert

Today we welcome author:  Candace Calvert To win a copy of Candace's new release: By Your Side Scroll to the end of the post  to see how to get your copy. Mary Vee here. One of my absolute favorite classes at ACFW this last year was the medical fiction class. That wasn't the real title, I can't remember what snazzy name the instructors gave it--BUT three stellar medical professionals, who are also Christian Fiction writers, presented great information then opened the time for questions. We students asked them all kinds of questions like what kind of poison would kill a ..., and tons of other questions. It was sooooo much fun, and informative.     I asked Candace, who was one of those fabulous teachers, to join us and share  how God has led her on her writing journey. Here is what she said: God Gave Me a Wake-up Fall The story won’t surprise folks who hav...

Fabulous Feature-Andrea Boeshaar

Today we welcome author: Andrea Boeshaar Three commenters will win a copy of Andrea's book:  A Thousand Shall Fall Scroll down to see how. Mary here. Andrea has had an amazing journey. One many of us can relate to. Her post below shows her strength and positive spirit. I'm so happy Andrea is visiting with us today. Pull up a chair, grab your coffee and come chat with Andrea. I asked Andrea to tell us how God led her on her writing journey. Here is what she said:  Romance Done Write I didn’t read much while growing up in my family’s suburban Milwaukee, Wisconsin home. I read what I was assigned for school, along with an occasional children’s novel like Pippi Longstocking and Little House in the Big Woods .  When I was in fourth grade, I wrote my first novel, Little Miss Mouse . My mother kept it all these years and it’s now in my possession. I laugh when I read those ten handwritten pages. At the tim...

Fabulous Friday Feature-Lorna Seilstad

Today we welcome author: Lorna Seilstad One commenter will win a copy of Lorna's book:  As Love Blooms Scroll down to see how. Mary here. I have quickly learned what an amiable person Lorna is. After only a few emails we've become great friends and found similar things to talk about. You'll see this same spirit in her post below. I asked Lorna to tell us how God led her on her writing journey. Here is what she said:  Excuses! Excuses! Moses and I have a lot in common. Oh, I haven’t led any Egyptians out of bondage, but I have looked at the path God laid out for me and rattled off excuses that would rival those of the great spiritual leader himself. You’re probably familiar with the story. God gets Moses’ attention with a burning bush, and then when He begins to disclose his plans for Moses’ future, the excuses start. ( My paraphrase of the story:) “Moses, I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people ou...
