Finding Treasures in Each Day…Even Now

Keep Going… “Anyway”

As I listened to the song “Anyway” for the first time, I felt a wash of hope and renewed determination regarding the brutal situation I was facing at that time. This song/poem helped me to reconnect ... Read More about Keep Going… “Anyway”

Hey everyone--this was a magical weekend...my roses didn`t disappoint! Maybe because of all the rain we`ve received, they are more fragrant, bushier, and 100`s of blooms. They only bloom all together once a year--so here it is. All of the smaller planted roses are going gangbusters as well. My "sprite`s" (yellows) are also doing well. But for today--Here`s the Red Ladies!

Recently I had the privilege of visiting the Golladay School. I`d visited this school once before--to introduce Chubbs`s story.

This time we "discussed" the highlights instead of "reading aloud." Their teacher had read them the story (all but the ending) before I got there. 📖 When I arrived, the kids were ready with thought provoking questions about Teddy`s unexpected adventure in the Salt River.

They questioned how a kid could really survive such an event... and asked "hey--is this a true story?"

As we talked, they began to recognize the miracles God provided for Teddy, I loved the amazement on their faces and in their comments when they realized that God really does show up for us...

In the photo, the kids are holding a rock from the river-- with "courage" painted on it. It is meant to remind them that because God watches over us all even when we can`t see Him,they really can Live Courageously--just like Teddy.

Here are a couple examples of what people are saying about Teddy`s story. It`s rewarding to hear how readers feel about Teddy`s unexpected adventure.

Please feel free to drop any comments/thoughts you may have regarding Teddy: A Boy Who Swam with Angels on my Amazon page: https://amzn.to/3HiVyXV or my website -- www.sandrasorensonkindtauthor.com

In a season where we celebrate and remember the greatest miracle of all, it`s a good time to reflect on the miracles both small and BIG that are ever-present in our lives. Teddy didn`t walk away from his day in the river with a complete understanding of God`s role in his life. But he did have a sense of how He`d shown up for him--just an ordinary boy.

Hey all--I`ve enjoyed the sunshine we`ve been having lately. It inspired me to take the Christmas stuff down (don`t judge me). I removed the Christmas wreath from the front door and I heard a splat on the tile in my foyer. It was a raw egg...W H A T ??? I turned the wreath around and sure enough there was a little nest with two more blue eggs. I decided in a nano second to leave the Christmas wreath on the door--even though it`s March. Actually I thought maybe I could turn it around when the birdies are born--and it would be an Easter Wreath! Hopefully my moving the wreath even for just a minute didn`t mess things up...

Meet Teddy-- a nine year old boy wants to explore the desert alone. He`d been so proud of himself for slipping away unnoticed, but now the fear of being lost sucked his breath away.

He wished with all his heart he`d done things differently, but this was a mistake he couldn`t undo himself. It`s easy to relate to Teddy. The weight of mistakes we can`t fix alone feels like a back-pack of rocks.

Your middle grade reader will begin to understand too that while life can be scary or hard sometimes, the way through the difficulties depends on hope, faith and trust.
