For me, reading this book was an encouragement. Kara dealt with so much in her last few years on this earth and now she is rejoicing with her Lord. But while she was here, she spent time thinking about what was really special in her life and the grace that God so abundantly gave her. I was touched by her honesty and faithfulness in telling her story. I myself am not dealing with the physical problems of a disease, but my husband is and helping him as he walks this path has been a struggle. There are times I question if I am really doing what I should for him, am I really seeing his as I should through eyes of faith? Seeing Kara's honesty has helped me remember it is a day by day thing we walk, even a moment by moment thing. We are fighting a sin nature that does not want to give in and it will be a struggle. It's important to hang on to the things that will truly last and are important. My focus has shifted and I am thankful for that.
This is a book that will inspire you, encourage you, make you cry a little, and learn to remember how God showers us with blessings even in the midst of pain and suffering. it's a very good read!
