There are moments in motherhood where life feels like one endless task. Where nothing seems to get done even though you've been working at it (what was ''it'' again?) all day. The dishes, the diapers, the homework assignments, the grocery shopping, the sporting events, the music lessons--and those all have to happen before five. Then it's time for the evening cycle. Dinner, laundry, baths, story time, and the age-old, half-hour ''but I don't want to go to bed'' drama. It's enough to exhaust the most energetic person on earth. And tomorrow you get to do it all again. Finding time to be still in the chaos of motherhood is no simple task. Yet, when we do make time to quiet ourselves before God, something powerful happens. He gives us supernatural rest. He floods our minds with peace. He restores our joy. And he whispers to the deepest part of our hearts that it all matters. That we matter. As you reflect on the devotions, Scriptures, and prayers, be reminded that God sees every effort you make and he is deeply pleased with your sacrifice. Sit quietly with him and let his love flow into every part of you. He has called you, and he will equip you with everything you need. Be still and be blessed.

With wisdom, personal anecdotes, and hands-on exercises, Lord teaches readers everything they need to know to deliver powerful words with life-changing impact today.

What an incomparable gift Lee Greenwood gave us with 'God Bless the U.S.A', a song ingrained in America's soul. It endures as one of the most loved patriotic songs of the last century. This legendary, award-winning country music artist now offers personal insights into America's challenges and her future in his book, Does God Still Bless the U.S.A.' The book calls for citizens to embrace an authentic patriotism while pointing out problems that simply should not be happening in our country. When our ancestors landed in America, they believed their 'inalienable' rights came from a God who loved them and blessed them with the opportunity to establish a new nation. Unapologetically, Lee urges the return to faith and the founding principles that have proven to be the strength of our civilization. Each chapter illuminates areas essential for maintaining our freedom, prosperity, and safety. Lee Greenwood believes America is at a crossroads and people are wanting someone to tell the truth. Here it is...

Love is what even the tinest thing reflects.I stay witness that the dark candles with flame shimmering fetch me the message of love and there , involuntarily ; the armies of hatred do surrender. Thus for me hatred gets placeless. The collection of poetry that I here put forth is what I meet after making an immortal bond with my Master. His honour and melodious love teaches me the lesson of life not through words but through the fruits of heaven that flow and surround his nobility. A soft wave of that flow kisses this soul too which now takes the shape of pearls, coming from the very owner of the garden. A tree, when hit by a strong wind, sings the song of the wind dances and bows down showing honor for and might of the guest.Every single verse does have the fragrance of his majesty.The collected insight nowhere exists outside but ,once the bird travels to find its nest,it does not care wether it flies or not .Some times through the long flying walk it dies many times and many times it stands in the middle of nowhere.It falls unknown in solitude where what happens- streams down through the language of eyes and hands in the form of love.
