The First of Three Holiday Announcements – and Some Freebees

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. – I Thessalonians 5:18

THANKSGIVING IS COMING SOON!

… and has, in fact, already passed in Canada. I want to be sure my readers know that my first children’s book, “Grumpy to Grateful,” is now available! It was written for kids who are just starting to read “chapter books,” with five short chapters and a generous number of illustrations by artist and friend, Roberta Dills. A while back I posted the chapters in a series of November posts. Feel free to preview a sample chapter, or the whole book:

From Grumpy to Grateful (A Story of Thanksgiving) Introduction

From Grumpy to Grateful (A Story of Thanksgiving) Chapter 1

From Grumpy to Grateful (A Thanksgiving Story) Chapter 2

From Grumpy to Grateful (A Story of Thanksgiving) Chapter 3

From Grumpy to Grateful (A Story of Thanksgiving) Chapter 4

From Grumpy to Grateful (A Story of Thanksgiving) Chapter 5

If you’re ready to order a copy – or more than one – for your child, grandchild, neighbor, or whoever you think might enjoy the story, the book can be ordered from Amazon or Barnes and Noble. And, as always, you are welcome to gather the family around and read “Grumpy to Grateful” right off the blog, as well. Happy Thanksgiving – every day!

Prayer: Generous and gracious Father, You have given us far more than we deserve. And, like little children, we sometimes need to be reminded just how blessed we are. May we have hearts that thank You every day, not only for what You give us, but also for who You are and who we get to be as Your children. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
