Merry Christmas

 

 

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 

John 3:16-17

A Match in the Making

 

Jen Turano's writing is always full of humor and clean romance. Her latest book, A Match in the Making, is a fun historical fiction, full of relatable characters who keep you on your toes on their adventure. 

Gwendolyn Brinley takes a position with a well respected matchmaker. She thinks this will be an easy summer after she has been touring as a companion with her cousin. However, she ends up being thrown into an assistant matchmaker position when Mrs. Parker breaks her leg. She feels totally out of her element when a gentleman, looking for a mother for his children, asks to be matched.

Walter Townsend meets his match when Gwendolyn challenges him in his endeavor, as all the single women throw themselves at him. There are quite a few amusing scenes between the two of them.

Great dialogue. A good clean romance.

What Happens Next

 

What Happens Next by Christina Suzann Nelson is about a podcaster, called in to spotlight her missing childhood friend. A mother who could never give up hope that her little girl would come home. Even after 36 years. And all the complications and heartache shared between them 

Christina has a way of crafting her stories that leave you guessing until the end. I have read her other books and she spells her magic in the telling of tales. Although the story was somewhat sad, it was compelling and kept me reading to the end.

Heart Friend

 

Do you have a friend who sticks closer to you then a brother? I've had two such friends in my lifetime. One is with the Lord, and the other lives many states away. But yet when I think of the sweet friendships that we have shared, it warms my heart beyond measure.

"There's a blessing in our friendship,
It's a bond between we two.
For the Lord brought us together,
And I thank Him now for you.

You've been there when I needed you,
We've shared our dreams and plans.
And when at times I've fallen down,
You've given me your hand.

You are always such a Joy
Each time that we're together,
But more than that, you are my friend
And in my heart forever."

So today I am thankful for my heart friends. The ones who really care, and share part of their lives with me. Friends may come and friends may go, but your heart friend is with you forever.

"Kindness is a friend's greatest asset,
With it she can mend misunderstandings
and smooth out rumpled feelings.
With only a well placed word,
She can raise a downcast spirit."
