And It Was Beautiful: Celebrating Life in the Midst of the Long Good-Bye by Kara Tippetts
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I enjoy Kara's conversational style of writing. In some ways, this book is hard to read...because it talks intimately of life's hard. But it is also so full of encouragement and inspiration. It is a quick read, and I recommend it for anyone journeying through life, whether you're facing hard or not.

A friend asked her a question once: What does your heart hunger for? Her one-word response was: Time.

Time for the simple things:
Time to hold hands.
Time to hear a heart.
Time to share faith.
Time to listen.
Time to talk.
Time to giggle.
Time to see the children's weddings.
Time to have grey hair and wrinkles.
Time...

We need to remember that none of us is assured tomorrow. We only have today. Live life intentionally, and full of grace, love, forgiveness. Some day, soon, each one of us will meet Jesus face to face. Now is the time to prepare.
