Faith brings comfort in uncertainty. It refocuses our mind. It brings hope instead of fear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I loved that each person&#8217;s vignette ends with both a <span id=\"lw_1305293732_2\">Bible passage<\/span> and a prayer which sums up and enhances the person&#8217;s story.<\/p>\n<p>Former second-grade teacher Ginny&#8217;s story is a great example. She has gone through years of medical problems and heartaches. But through it all, 81-year-old Ginny keeps praising God&#8217;s faithfulness.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She is grateful for knowledgeable doctors and <span id=\"lw_1305293732_3\">medical procedures<\/span> that have saved her life. She delights in her granddaughter&#8217;s latest accomplishments. Every day she hugs other seniors and encourages them to count their blessings in spite of their afflictions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Attached to this particular story is a Bible passage about Job (James 5:11), that man of great endurance. His story is a perfect complement to Ginny&#8217;s. The prayer at the end is about perseverance through faith in God.<\/p>\n<p>This book is formatted in such a delightful way. I loved experiencing each person&#8217;s remarkable overcoming of everyday problems, each with inspiring determination and faith. I think you will enjoy it too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;If we are worrying about tomorrow, we can&#8217;t live for today.&#8221; That\u2019s 90-year-old Louise\u2019s advice in Missy Buchanan&#8217;s book Don&#8217;t Write My Obituary Just Yet.
