Looking For A New Family Easter Book?
/A couple weeks ago I had the opportunity to go to St. George. While we were there, we stopped at one of my favorite home décor/gift stores, “Cosy House”. https://www.becosyhouse.com There are not many shops like this. Nancy, the owner, has impeccable taste and brings in the most lovely and unique items. I always treat myself to a new bottle of liquid hand soap, or dish soap, or a candle – this time, it may or may not have been one of all three. 😊 This time, she also had the sweetest little Easter book in the children’s corner of the store. Being an avid reader, I love finding a new favorite book to add to my collection, especially for my littles.
“SAVIOR – The Story of Jesus Christ” is written by Maddie Daetwyler and illustrated by Kindal Ridd, two young moms bringing His LIGHT to the world. The writing is poetic, and the illustrations will bring a tear to your eye. It seemed like every woman in the store was purchasing one of these books.
As we all stood in line to pay, Nancy told us how much this would mean to these women, especially Kindal. She went on to tell us that Kindal’s husband passed away unexpectedly last July, and this book is her sole source of income.
We reverently bought our books and searched the internet when we got back in the car to learn more about Kindal’s story. She has a beautiful daughter, and the tribute she paid to her angel husband had us all sobbing by the time we got back to the condo.
If you’re looking for the perfect new Easter book to read as a family, you can pick one up at “Cosy House” in St. George, or you can order one on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735992739?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title I came home and immediately ordered more. It also comes in a tear resistant, waterproof paperback. Just know that this type of paper is a little “floppy”, but it is durable.
I’m excited to give each of our kids one of these books to read as a family, as well as some other friends and family members. We can all use more Jesus in our lives! This book is non-denominational, and an engaging way for little ones and adults alike to read about the life of our Savior, as we come closer to Him.
I ran across some great quotes this past week that filled my soul with LIGHT! I hope they do the same for you!
“The best way to become like Him is to love like He loved.” ~ Unknown
“The human eye is drawn to light. We can’t help it, it just happens.” ~ The Chosen
“Share His Light by letting your Light shine – be someone’s angel.” ~ Unknown
It is my hope that as we prepare for the sacred Easter season, that we will focus on Him. For without His ultimate sacrifice, there would be no LIGHT in the world. Wherever you see and feel LIGHT, you will also feel of His spirit in your life!
Have a great week, and buy the book! It is filled with LIGHT, and you will be too after you read it!
Love Ya, Les 😊
