    About this ebook

    Patty Bonesteel has been writing Christian poetry for 30 years. The inspiration behind this book is based on her relationship with the Lord and the people she has met in her life. Since the age of 16 she has accepted Jesus as her personal Lord and Savior, which greatly influences her writing. Patty's writing focuses on Jesus' love, Christian life, and the celebrations and testing of faith in our daily walk. This is where she has received her spiritual foundation and has learned the love and gentleness of Jesus that she seeks to express in her writing.

      Dedications

      This book is dedicated to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Who is the Author and Perfecter of my faith…

      To Marilyn Meeker, who is a gift to me from God, a faithful listener, a true reflection of Jesus, and one of people who inspired this book.

      To Martha Vardeman, who knew me when I could only take baby steps to God, for nurturing the seeds God planted in my heart, who is also a true reflection of Jesus and His love.

      To my mother, Sharon Hanson, for loving me, and going through so much to bring me into this world—she was a gift from God.

      Acknowledgements

      I would like to thank God for putting certain people in my life when I needed them…

      Marilyn Meeker, a very special person, who helps me smooth out the rough edges in my life, who takes the time to listen, who has been a consistent, compassionate reflection of God’s love, and who inspires me to keep seeking Jesus.

      Beth Erickson, who took me into her heart and life when there seemed to be no one else to help, becoming a sister, a friend, and also a mother.

      Majors Jerry and Donna Ames, of the Salvation Army Kroc Community Church of Salem, Oregon, for their support in prayer and for shepherding me as part of their flock.

      Kathy Reichman, also of Salem Citadel Corps, a fellow prayer warrior, Who prayed my first book into existence

      Kathy Pickett, my kindred spirit, who lifts me up in prayer and listens with the ears of God.
