pickThis is a beautiful collection of poems inspired and influenced by Maya Angelou's faith and love for humanity, and listening to her read them is a joy. Amazing Peace is such a gorgeous, moving poem to listen to at Christmas. (and I have to say, I wasn't expecting eulogies to Luther Vandross and Barry White.)
Only loosely related, but,
Hey, I still have this thing!
Life has been turmoil-ish since my husband passed away almost 7 years ago.
But, as Mary Kay Ash said, miracles happen.
Just wanted to re-introduce myself. Hello world of Litsy!
Glory Days is the first book by Lucado that I read. He is an amazing author with a gift from God to encourage believers based on biblical scripture that we can apply to our daily life. One thing I was able to clearly see was that even in Old Testament times, the battle was spiritual. You can't fight an impossible (not impossible for God) physical battle without fighting the same battle in your mind.
"... if you're trying to show off for people at the top, forget it. They will look down on you anyhow. And if you're trying to show off for people at the bottom, forget it. They will only envy you. Status will get you nowhere. Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone."
bailedI bailed on this one. I just couldn‘t continue. I was too bored and the chapters were way too long and I just couldn‘t finish it. Sorry anyone who might have liked it. 😔 It just wasn‘t for me.
Gracie says Momma read this one, it matches our blanket. It‘s a rainy yucky day here so the perfect time for snuggles and reading. #30of2025
