List three books that have had an impact on you. Why?

#1 The Bible.

Some people might say I’m being too generic. But really. It amazes me that the Bible can hit you differently in every stage of life. And when you most need any advice, wisdom, reassurance, care, love, knowledge, kindness, etc. You can find it all in one book.

#2 This Present Darkness- By Frank E. Peretti.

This book still lingers in my brain. Whenever someone talks about needing a good book this is my first thought. It’s…it’s so good I don’t know how exactly to describe it. But it needs to be read during the day. If you magically have a free day, start the book in the morning. It’s not super scary or anything. But it’s a constant battle between God and angels verses demons. Just like how life is.

#3 Emily Elephant

A children’s book. It talks all about Emily’s day. How she cooks, cleans, shops, plans a party, bakes, etc. It didn’t realize it at the time that this would still to this day be one of my favorite books. But it is. My mom actually gave me the very same book I read as a child.

There are several books I would like to continue or to start. I just have been tired recently. I’ve not been sleeping well, because I miss my husband. Only 4 more days!! I miss him so much.

Enjoy your Thursday!

This picture pretty much sums up me. I have a dinosaur eating gnomes statue. Various books that I love. Including Ride a Purple Pelican. Another favorite of mine. It inspired my love of poetry. A small truck that I actually made for or wedding decor. It’s only been almost 9 years.

Then the stack next to the books are various cook books or recipes from my great grandmother. I want to slowly try and make her recipes. And dwindle down the recipes. I only have so much space and time. But I love the handwritten recipes.

Then the little canvas saying bless our nest. I don’t know where this little canvas came from but we’ve had it forever. My thought process is that it’s nice, but that if it gets destroyed by the hippo, then it will be fine.
