We had a fun weekend with my family. Our two grandchildren came over for a visit. There is nothing like Christmas through the eyes of a child.

\nI felt like a kid when the UPS man showed up at our door late Sunday afternoon. The journal I’ve been creating since mid summer arrived hot off the press.
\n<\/a>
\nIt is beautiful! I can’t wait for you to get your hands on it.
\nThis is not only a journal. I share a bit of my story of HOPE. You’ll learn about my mom’s journal that is now seventy-eight years old. Interspersed throughout are inspiring quotes and Scriptures to point you to hope.
\nThere is plenty of space to write\u00a0your thoughts, hopes and dreams. (And frustrations too – I journal it all!)
\n<\/a>
\nA separate section to track prayer requests helps you remember the prayers of your heart. Updates help you see the hand of God at work. The gratitude section is a great place to record thanks each day.
\n<\/a>
\nAnd, just for fun, I’ve added some coloring pages. The\u00a0coloring pages are floral or abstract designs – mostly tulips. I tell you the tulips story to explain my love for the beautiful flower.
\n<\/a>
\nIt is available here on my website NOW. It will be up on Amazon in the next few days.
\nI hope you’ll consider joining me to journal the journey.
\nWe’ve discounted the book through December 31st. The retail price is $14.95 but we are offering it here for $10.00. Click on the book section to order.\u00a0Purchase Here<\/a>
\nThe proceeds from this book benefits Gabriel’s Foundation of HOPE – a 501(c)3 nonprofit established to bring encouragement and hope to those we serve.
\nI pray you will find HOPE in the manger this Christmas. He came to earth as a baby…just for you and for me. Bless you with encouragement today.
