Book Description
The words thank you were a common exchange when author Ralph Mosgroves wife, Elsie, became disabled from a fall, breaking her hip and causing a compression fracture at T12 and L1 of the vertebra. Confined to using a four-wheel walker, she experienced the kindness of strangers who stood aside to allow her to enter before them. The Mosgroves took notice of the kindness offered and wondered how one could make thank you more meaningful in response. In Saying Thanks and Beyond, Ralph explores ways to respond to acts of kindness, to go beyond the words, and to find possibilities. He offers ideas to inspire you to become a better person and give someone else that emotional liftlike an elderly person who lost their independence or a soldier who cant open a door for himself because of loss of limb. Mosgrove emboldens you to change your world and give a legacy of yourself to the generation who is watching. I was raised to be polite, to use please and thank you appropriately. Reading Ralph Mosgroves delightful essay on Saying Thanks and Beyond gave me a new perspective on those old automatic responses. Why not offer just a bit more appreciation than is expected? A verbal lagniappea little extra. Try Ralphs formula. The recipient of the words will smile, and you will too! Carol Perry, Author, Witch City Mystery series

Moving Beyond Fear to Gratitude
Author: Nancy H. Mitchell
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1973689952
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
Moving Beyond Fear to Gratitude takes the reader on a journey with a quiet, strong, humble man who trusted in the Lord throughout all his trials—including corticolbasal degeneration (CBD), a rare and debilitating brain disease—and his anxious wife who, as his caregiver, learned to lean on the Lord and to see that gratitude adds a sense of peace to the circumstances of life. Through her four years of journaling, Nancy paints a picture of CBD’s effects on both sufferer and caregiver. This book is intended, in part, to help families and caregivers recognize CBD symptoms. It’s primary purpose, however, is to show how the hard-earned knowledge Nancy gained through caring for her husband, coupled with his strong positive attitude and faith, helped her to better accept God’s sovereign control over life’s circumstances and deepened her faith beyond anything she could have possibly conceived. It’s her prayer that what she has shared in this book will help you to find that same acceptance and deeper faith in the midst of your own trial. Nancy reminds us that everyone is going through some type of trial. What matters is what we do with that trial to glorify God and to acknowledge that all that we are and have, we are and have by His grace and only by His grace.
