Little Blessings from a Big God
Finding More of God through the Lives of Your Children

by Michelle Medlock Adams



      All mothers know life can be hectic. Children's school and extracurricular activities, husband's needs, household chores, and employment demands keep us on the go. Sometimes stress attacks from every angle, and we can just barely keep moving forward. Where is God? Right in the middle of mess, teaching us lessons through our frustrations.

In Little Blessings from a Big God: Finding More of God through the Lives of Your Children, Michelle Medlock Adams encourages readers to view life from a different perspective. For example, through her premature labor and enforced bed rest, Ms. Adams learned all things come in God's time. During her second delivery, which progressed so quickly that her doctor couldn't administer an epidural, she realized we don't always get what we want, but God will always give us what we truly need.

The table of contents lists each story by title and a subtitle, which hints at the lesson contained within. Following each thought-provoking, often humorous anecdote, the author includes a thought for the day, scripture reading and a daily declaration.

Reading Little Blessings from a Big God: Finding More of God through the Lives of Your Children is like drinking a warm cup of chamomile tea while soaking in the bathtub. Ms. Adams' soothing words of encouragement help a mother unwind after a tough day and remind her to treasure every moment, even the less than stellar ones. Remember, with God's help our children are our best and brightest teachers. Ms. Adams words show us how to open our eyes and hearts to their lessons. I highly recommend you treat yourself to this author's inspiring perspective.
