This morning I read a wonderful post by one of my favorite bloggers, Katie. She writes about how a former professional baseball player spoke in church about his relationship with the Lord, and how he could never do the things he does without God’s hand in every part of it; that God get’s all the credit for his talents and gifts.
Katie went on to write that we must never fear people’s reactions to our words of love for the Lord, and we must never shy away from giving glory to God for everything he has blessed us with. She says we are urged to share the Word of God with others. We are compelled to spread His teachings whenever and wherever we can. She says to speak up for the Lord, speak your heart. Those who are willing to truly listen will know you are speaking His truth and will be blessed by your words. Katie tells us that this young man speaks proudly of his great faith and love for the Lord. And people are listening.
Wow! Thank you, Katie.
In my book, My Precious Life, my first thanks goes to God. Without him this book would not exist. Guaranteed!
The feedback from sales of the book is very encouraging and I would like to share, in part, two of the many comments that have come to me. The first comes from the UK where a gentleman wrote a review on Amazon.co.UK: “I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Wonderfully uplifting and a ‘makes you feel good’ life story. Thanks for sharing this with us.”
And this came via email just last night: “Dear Patricia, I have just finished reading your wonderful book. I couldn’t put it down!! I admire you for writing it but more than that I was touched, saddened and encouraged by all that your life represents. Your very firm faith shines through each chapter. I know this book will have a positive influence on many readers and will point them to God.”
That last sentence is key. It is why I wrote the book.
“Wonderful book” and “I could not put it down” are the most repeated comments. It makes me smile–and I think God might be smiling too.
As I said in one of my other blogs, “To God be the glory, great things he has done….”
Once again, My Precious Life can be found online at Amazon or ordered at your local book store. People in my little corner of the world can get it directly from me.
Thanks, Katie, I hope you don’t mind my sharing part of your blog today. 🙂 It is just so apropos!
Thank you so much Patricia! Im glad you could appreciate the post this morning. We truly need to remember to give Him all the glory and say it proudly.
Bless you and your ministry of pointing people to God!!

Ah, you touch my heart, Katie!

I couldn’t help but smile as I read this. Hearing the praises you are getting for your book makes me so happy for you! And I believe they are very well deserved. You have a way of telling your stories that makes all of us be able to relate them to our own lives in one way or another. I, for one, have been very touched by them. I’m sorry I haven’t been writing. I’m still desparetly trying to get back on track. God has really been working on me with some things lately. Blessings to you my sweet friend. 😊
How are you,Laurie? I’m missing you on the page! I’m praying your life is coming back together!
Would love to hear how you are, Laurie. I REALLY miss you on the page! Abundant blessings wished for you, young lady!
Thank you for always checking in on me. Your such a sweet heart and make me feel so good. I’m gradually getting back to my writing. Just haven’t published anything yet. Hoping I can get something done today though.
Thank you Laurie. I’ve been missing you! I’m sure you’ll have much to write soon. Blessings!
One day at a time, girl, one day at a time! 🙂
