Chapter Seven – The Meaning of It All
Freedom
I could barely contain my tears as I stood before the little lambs. With the storm clouds now lifting and heading off toward the east, streams of sunlight warmed my back as I stood staring at the ground. The freshly cut grass was meticulously trimmed around each and every headstone. The tiny white concrete lambs were no exception.Guided by vivid memories from my past, I quickly identified them after taking only a few steps into the cemetery. My grandma and grandpa were buried to the right, but I felt drawn to the left. I couldn’t recall. Were there four or five little statues?

One of the Things I Love
It felt like I was there with you because I have been where you are more times than I can count. I can find myself amidst tough times still today, but have learned that in all things, good and bad, there are lessons designed to make us stronger and better. It makes it all worthwhile to have helped you in even one small way.
Hang in there, stay strong, and never give up.

One of the things I love
One of the things I love about this book is that it applies to just about anything in life! In the last week, I have been able to apply many lessons leaerned. But tonight was a light bulb moment. I have had a really rough day. Really felt like some trials I've been going through had just got the better of me. Didn't really know how to climb out of this one. Of course, I hit my knees and eventually face, then turned to your book for some inspiring quotes. Just opened the page to this chapter. And the first thing that jumped out at me was, "Yes, you read correctly." It was like you were sitting right there, Nancy, talking to me. Then, "Our struggles are proof that God loves us with an everlasting love, one that seeks to teach, guide and strengthen all who walk with Him."
Thank you. I can't begin to tell you how much I needed that tonight.
