While I'm Waiting Devotional by Stitches Author Laura Hodges Poole

"While I’m Waiting" is adapted from the author’s blog devotions, appearing for the first time as a collection. This devotional will inspire the reader to wait on God patiently and reverently to answer prayers according to His perfect timing. The author shares her own struggles and shortcomings in a relatable way that encourages and brings hope even in the most difficult circumstances. The devotions show that it is possible to walk through the valley and not despair while praising God and choosing contentment during trials. As missionary Jim Elliot once said, “God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with Him.”

Daughters of the Heart by Caryl McAdoo

 God’s perfect plan is oft so hard to determine. In his life, Henry Buckmeyer has never been so beside himself. His little girls are so young, just babies, too young. He hates the whole idea of men coming to take them away and is inclined to shoot every one of them, but praise God for a level-headed, loving wife and step-mother! She helps keep him sane amidst the female chaos. Packed with fun, romance, deception, action, heartbreak and tears, this delightful Christian novel keeps the twists and turns coming. Gwendolyn, Cecelia, and the youngest, Bonnie, make a pact never to break their father’s heart like their big sister did. Then their determination is sorely tried when suitors show up, and he gets so pigheaded with his rules. Will Henry survive his daughters coming of age? Will they endure and keep their promises to each other? From one man asking to court her—who Daddy sends packing—Gwen goes to three! How can she ever decide? Cecelia knows exactly who she wants, but she’s still a year away from Daddy’s acceptable courting age. What if her beau doesn’t know or won’t wait? And Bonnie hates being the baby and wants to be grown-up more than just about anything…except her man. She is for sure and for certain in love. Will the Buckmeyer home ever be settled and peaceful again? Will any of his daughters find true love…a man he'll approve and to whom he can give his blessing?

Cooking Up Christmas

With Special Guest Teresa Lilly

When I was asked to join the group of writers for the Mail Order Angel Bride series I was ecstatic.  Darlene Franklin wrote the first book in the series “Jacob's Christmas Dream,” and gave the writers an outline and character names to build their stories from.

I wrote about Henrietta and Benjamin.  What came to mind was the thought that a mining town, which had very few women in it, would be in need of a place to eat.  So, I developed a theme around that.  Thus, Henrietta comes to town to work at the new Angel Vale Eatery.   

What she does not know is, Benjamin is the owner of the eatery.  He bought it for her as a wedding present.  Since they do not wed immediately, Henrietta is frustrated to not be able to speak to the owner of the restaurant.  Instead she is given full charge.   

Along with several other concerns she has such as, what does Benjamin do for a living?  Where does Benjamin live?  Where will she live once she marries him?   These questions continue to plague their budding relationship.  

Don't worry....this is a happily ever after.....

Try to guess what kind of food was being served at the eatery before Henrietta gets there.

a. French

b. Burnt beans and bacon

c. Chinese

Try to guess what kind of building the men of Angel Vale, Wyoming have converted into a place to house the brides-to-be?

a. Barn

b. Mill

c. Church

Try to guess what the root is of most of the young couples problems?

a. lies

b. money

c. other women

I hope you enjoy reading “Cooking Up Christmas”
