Book Cover & Preview Text
My story is about an ordinary person, with an ordinary life, ME! As I share the miracles that I have been blessed with, hopefully you will be inspired. My mother passed away on May third, two thousand and nine, after a long battle with cancer. She had been the inspiration in my life; even as she suffered she still put the needs of her family and friends before her own. No matter how hard the situation became, she never wanted to give up! Faith and hope embraced her life as she kept moving forward. Eventually, the time came and we knew the doctors did everything possible; however, nothing would make her well. How helpless I felt as I watched my mother’s body shut down from this horrible disease. I know first hand how hard it is to watch a loved one suffer. At one time or another, all of us will have some kind of pain or suffering to endure. During these difficulties in our lives, how we cope emotionally, physically, and spiritually will determine if we will move forward to overcome these obstacles or give up on life. I truly believe as we endure these hardships, we can grow stronger and still achieve the joy and peace of God in all things. As I remember the past, mom really enjoyed putting jigsaw puzzles together. After her operation, and being so limited in the things that she could do, she spent a lot of her energy on her favorite past time. I watched her build the puzzles, day after day, without looking at the picture on the box. I was fascinated how the puzzles came together so easily for Mom. Life reminds me of a giant jigsaw puzzle; until all the pieces fit together, you cannot appreciate the whole picture. Since Mom once fit so perfectly in my life, when that piece was missing I felt so alone, afraid, empty and lost. Slowly but surely, as I picked the pieces up, one at a time, my life went on. Mom was definitely a big part of my life, and since she was the one that encouraged me to write, I decided to follow my dream, and put bits and pieces of my life in a book. In the pages ahead, I share some of the many experiences of hardships, heartache, miracles, peace, and God’s love, to encourage others, not to give up! Hopefully, as you read, A Piece of Heaven on Earth, you will be inspired, as you embrace the pieces in your own life, to believe what God has done for me, an ordinary person, He will do for you. My prayer is that you would know God as your Heavenly Father, and you too will experience a piece of heaven on earth.
