Simple Lessons Learned Along The Way

Book Cover & Preview Text
What are your favorite gifts you’ve ever received?
Thoughts probably go back to a magical Christmas morning, or a favorite birthday; or maybe a time when you received something unexpected for no reason at all. Maybe you remember the gift because of the special occasion it was given on, or maybe the thoughtfulness involved, or because it was given by a very special person.
What makes a gift special? Is it the actual gift, the occasion, the giver, or something I haven’t even mentioned? Maybe it was the situation you were in; the circumstances surrounding the gift. What is it that makes a gift special or memorable, or the greatest gift ever?
Can you imagine receiving a gift you weren’t expecting; full of expectation and anticipation you open it and… SURPRISE! The gift is empty! Would you consider that the greatest gift ever?
The greatest gift I have ever received was an empty tomb.
Jesus, come back soon, I’m looking forward to more empty tombs.

About the Book
Often times we move through life taking each day as it comes, rarely looking at our situations, much less evaluating them. This fast-reading, delightful book takes a brief look at life lessons that have presented themselves along the way.
It may be in an airport, driving a vehicle, watching a movie—just about anywhere. God invades our senses and reaches out to us through situations and circumstances. Some call it a God-thing or a God-moment, but they’re just run of the mill times that we recognize the hand of God. Perhaps it’s been there all along, but this time, this specific time, we become aware; or maybe He attacks our state of being unaware of what has always been available?
Many times I have walked passed mirrors completely unaware of myself or the reflection. Other times I stop and take a look. Likewise, many times God is reaching out, and I’m passing unaware that He wants me to stop and reflect. I’ve missed an important encounter with Him.
What follows in this book are some encounters I didn’t miss. And maybe they’ll help you along your way, give you pause to reflect, and meet God somewhere in the process.
