Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Rita Schilke Korzan wrote a poem to her mother 24 years ago, thanking her for all she had done as a mother, friend, and role model. She gave the poem to her mother and, a few months later, offered it as a tribute when Mary and her husband were married. So many wedding guests asked for a copy that Mary included one in her thank-you notes.Then began the strange and heartwarming journey of Mary's poem to her mom. Friends passed it on to those they knew. A minister in her hometown couldn't recall who gave it to him, but he included the by-then "anonymously written" poem in his book about loving others. Another author picked it up from there for her compilation of heartfelt works, and Mary finally noticed her poem, now listed as "Author Unknown," in A Fourth Course of Chicken Soup for the Soul, which her husband and children gave her as a Mother's Day gift.With this new book, readers have the chance to experience When You Thought I Wasn't Looking in its entirety and from its creator. This is the special kind of book that reminds us that sometimes the little things we do "just because" mean more to someone than we can ever know. Those little things teach love, compassion, and understanding. In other words, they're priceless. This sweet gift book brings that lesson home to the heart.

Download or read book Abba s Little Girl written by Shirley Lee Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-22 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we grow and develop in the Lord, sometimes we can lose sight of just how much our Abba Father loves us. Sometimes, the things we go through and life, in general, can make us question or doubt the depths of it. Abba really loves us. We do not earn it, nor can anything take it away from us; he loves us. We are his children and must understand that our Abba Father cares very much for his daughters, his little girls. We must embrace that love and grow in it. Now think about this, Calvary is where God's love was manifested in a greater way. He pushed love out at Calvary's cross; that is where it was birthed. Now, it's time to let that infancy of love grow into adulthood within us, maturing in that love, nurtured, fathered, and cared for by Abba's love. We must understand the value of his sacrifice and the value of that love; it's oh so precious. These poems are about a love relationship between Abba and his daughter, his little girl. As you read them, put yourself in her shoes, feel the love that flows between her God and his child, and know, just know that Abba really LOVES you.
