I love the simple things of life too and believe there is much wisdom there and many lessons to learn.
I lived in West Virginia for 18 years, high up on a hill on an old gravel road called Grass Run, surrounded by farmlands, corn fields and beautiful mountain scenery, and I was always the happiest when I was painting fences, white washing trees working in my vegetable garden, cutting the grass in my trusty riding mower, and hanging my wash out on the clothes line to dry and I still think that white sheets blowing in the wind is about the prettiest sight in the whole world ! But now that I am 84 and live in an upstairs apartment in a small city,I really do miss it a LOT. I pray that the Lord will bless [the author of this book] real good and continue to use [her]beautiful talent to bless others all around the world

The Erma Bombeck of the Christian World!

That's what I thought when I read this book! Uncomplicated, tongue-in-cheek, and simple. This book is fun and sweet and even full of deep thought but in a way that catches you by surprise. The author is amazing in how she uses simple things such as a leaky faucet, or naughty rooster, or even a computer screen to show how God intervenes in every way in our life even when we least expect it. She is truly the Erma Bombeck of the Christian world. If you haven't read this book or shared it with your neighbor, you need to.

I loved this! It was a delightful read and it did make me feel good to read every devotional inside. She makes everything fun. Fun to be a Christian. Trials don't have to be as hard as we think.

Shirley's light-hearted devotional journal was written to lift our spirits, when we need it most. Her simple thoughts, timely encouragement, and insights from God's Word will show us who we are in the Lord in the scheme of everyday living. You'll want to read this book and share it with your friends. I loved it and refer to it every day.

I've been using this book as my devotional book for the past couple of week and have enjoyed it very much. Shirley brings a freshness and simplicity to life that too many of us, OK I'm talking about me, have lost.

The past twenty-three years I've lived in the fast pace life of Southern California. However, I grew up in northeastern Oklahoma on an 80 acre farm. Shirley shares stories of her life on the farm. She does a very nice job of bringing home the truth that we can and should see God in the simplest things around us. She reminds us that it is important to see God in the simple things.

If you are looking for a devotional that gives you a solid scripture, an enjoyable story with nuggets of life truths, and a prayer that challenges or encourages you then this is a devotional for you.
