A Spot of Grace That’ll Lift Your Spirits

 Spot of Grace

Before I ever opened the book, I sat staring at the cover for probably a good 2 minutes. The only image is that of a lit match but, somehow, it’s more than enough.  The effect stops you in your mental tracks and you find yourself gathering your thoughts around the fire.  Nice, warm, inviting.

So we went inside. I never go anywhere without my thoughts, but they’ve been known to leave me behind more than once.  An hour.

Spot of Grace: Remarkable Stories of How You DO Make a Difference by Dawna Markova, PHD is a dangerously inspirational book. One never knows where that much inspiration might take them!  It’s filled with stories from men and women as they describe a special person who made them feel that they mattered.  That they had made a difference in the world.

That’s a very important feeling to have, after all!  We all have times in our lives when we wonder if we’ve ever really touched anyone deeply enough to have an impact, let alone make a difference.  The stories, as well as the beautiful words by the author, stir something inside of the reader until she/he realizes that they have indeed touched others.

The best part?  You’re left with only one thing on your mind and in your heart:   To get out there and touch as many more as you possibly can!

When I sat down with the book, we had an understanding.  I had laundry to put away, dishes in the sink to wash, three posts to write, and a bath to fall into.  I would devote 30 minutes to reading, then I’d be on my way.  That would, at the very least, give me a chance to read quite a few of stories.

Ah, the best laid plans.

I couldn’t put the book down, so I couldn’t pick the laundry or dishes up. They were okay with that, as they were perfectly comfortable where they were.

Spot of Grace: Remarkable Stories of How You DO Make a Difference inspires your heart as it uplifts your soul.  It’s a journey you’ll enjoy very much.
