Book Wishes for One More Day

Download or read book Wishes for One More Day written by Melanie Joy Pastor and published by Flashlight Press. This book was released on 2021-07-01 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A grandfather's death inspires his grandchildren to create a book of wishes in this sensitive portrayal of dealing with the loss of a loved one. When Anna and her little brother Joey hear the sad news about their Poppy's death, they begin to think about what they would do if they could have one more day with him. They smile thinking about Poppy's crazy birthday hat, giggle at the silly songs Poppy used to plunk out on the piano, and laugh out loud at the weekly chicken-soup game they played with him at the deli. As the list grows into a pile, the pile becomes a book—a book of wishes for one more day with Poppy—or, as their mother explains, a memory book of the love and fun they shared with him, since all of their wishes have already come true. This treasured memento celebrates Poppy's life and helps Anna and Joey keep his memory alive for years to come.

Download or read book Thumbprints of God written by Donald Bolen and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on virtues, moral principles, and dreams. I know personally that God uses different means and methods to speak to each person. For me, he does so through my dreams. They give me the inspiration to turn them into poetry, explaining revelations given to me by him. I know what God can do, so great consideration has been given to every single word that is in this book. Writing Christian poetry causes me to wonder how many others do likewise. I know that there are many Christian works out there, but I have not seen any quite like mine. I often wonder if people are writing what God tells them to. I know without God I would have never written poetry or written anything based on Christianity. By publishing this book, I only want to encourage others to serve God to the best of their ability. Each title was assigned to a poem after it was written. I prayed one night that God would give me a title for this book, and he did. So as you read the poems he helped me write, I hope and pray that they will minister to you as they have to me. I also pray that they will inspire you to do great things with the remaining part of your life.

Book Tuesdays with Morrie

Download or read book Tuesdays with Morrie written by Mitch Albom and published by Crown. This book was released on 2007-06-29 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A special 25th anniversary edition of the beloved book that has changed millions of lives with the story of an unforgettable friendship, the timeless wisdom of older generations, and healing lessons on loss and grief—featuring a new afterword by the author “A wonderful book, a story of the heart told by a writer with soul.”—Los Angeles Times “The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.” Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it. For Mitch Albom, that person was his college professor Morrie Schwartz. Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn’t you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger? Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man’s life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final “class”: lessons in how to live. “The truth is, Mitch,” he said, “once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.” Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie’s lasting gift with the world.
