If today your life seems adrift, and your direction in life often appears uncertain, then simply go back to some of the basic rules of life. Get out of the way and follow the leader. That leader being Jesus Christ, of course. It will be the greatest decision you have ever made. When life becomes busy or chaotic, we often forget how good life can be if we just take time to reflect on the people, the places, the circumstances, our treasured memories, and all the other little things that make life grand. In a collection of varied writings, Jerry Waddell leans on his faith to inspire others to look back at the roads traveled and ponder all the people who have enriched their lives. While offering encouragement to give thanks for countless blessings and view the future with a positive outlook, Waddell shares personal stories, scripture, nuggets of wisdom, and life lessons that enhance spiritual well-being and provide comfort that God is always with us. Just Tryin’ to Be a Blessing shares entertaining stories, scripture, and other insights from a man of faith with a passion for lifting the hearts and spirits of believers.

Initially, Angella Dixon-Watson started her journaling project so she could leave her grandchildren, Cierra and Chase, her story of surviving pancreatic cancer. And, friends and family encouraged her to share her experience beyond her family. While journaling she had another title. When the journal was completed she felt the need to change it and was in meditation. On Sunday morning last weekend in July 2017, after waking up and saying "thank you for the gift of another day," those words felt like a recitation to her. She paused. And then was prompted to say "thank you for the gift of another breath," and it felt right. It is her wish for the world to know that God blessed her with His Grace and Mercy. Angella is living the "Gift of Another Breath." She is in the 10 percent club of pancreatic cancer survivors. She feels that if she doesn't share with you about God's goodness, the mountains, rocks and hills will do it. "I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out." Luke 19:40 ESV

"I found it (the story) at first sad and tragic, all the more to be uplifted by its outcome. What better ever proof of a miracle, of the value of family support, of the power of faith, of the hand of God, of the unpredictability of life. All in all it's a wonderful piece to read. What's more, you make readers care, because the woman (Jane Williams) and her family, including the convincing and articulate narrator, Dr. Henry, become real people in readers' minds, people they know well enough to worry about, to cheer for. I came to feel, thanks to Dr. Joel Hilaire's sharp and rich writing, that I was one of those people, close to the family, involved in every down-and-up event. To my mind you achieved exactly what you were after with this extensive true-to-life story."--Lou Fisher, from Long Ridge Writers Group

These devotions were written by a Pastor to his congregation during the time of pandemic restrictions when sanctuary doors were closed to any desiring to worship or pray or just needing a spiritual boost.Aiming for encouragement, these short devotions are an uplifting and interesting source of inspiration. They certainly lived up to their intended purpose of creating a bridge between the pulpit and pew during a long and hurtful silence from the traditionally comfortable environment of the sanctuary. Their content is chock full of true-to-life illustrations. You'll find many of them written directly for your need.A variety of styles are used to convey Christian principles and truths in a very upbeat format--sometimes humorous, sometimes serious; intellectual without being stodgy; often country colloquial in portraying real-life stories; always focusing on revealing more of the Christ of Calvary.Got about five minutes? Read one of these devotions. But look out! You might find yourself hooked into reading more than one or two...or more!
