Note from Karen

“I’m still learning how to be grateful in all things. I’ve discovered it’s a lifelong quest and a daily commitment. Gratitude’s soul sisters are contentment in our current circumstances and trust In God’s plans and purposes for us. His ways are not our ways. His ways are higher and better; He knows what He is doing and what is best for us because, well, because He’s God! So even when I don’t understand why life has gone a different direction than I expected, I can be grateful in all things because I know He’s in charge. My prayer is that through my books, you will take a fresh look of wonder at this God who has given us so much and who has promised the best is yet to come.”
