All The Things We Will Never Get To See Life Is A Story Story One

For many, many years you may have heard that God doesn't still perform miracles. A Mother In Mourning will restore your faith if you are among the many who don't believe. Kathy will tell you, too, of the many miracles God has given to her. One of the miracles was giving birth to her sons. Another came after the fatal accident of her oldest son when an angel was waiting for her in the most unusual place, her favorite coffee house. A Mother In Mourning is sure to be a best seller of its kind. Kathy delivers a truly powerful love story involving herself, her two sons and her God. From the first day she gave birth to her sons, she held them close to her. To Aaron (and Kendrick), she was a one of a kind mother; she was their mentor, their right hand, their best friend and their preparedness for this thing called life. Most importantly, she was Aaron's (and is Kendrick's) overseer in making sure that without a doubt their ultimate destination would be "heaven." A Mother In Mourning will take you on a journey filled with nothing but love, joy and the pain of being a mother. This heart-felt true story will have you laughing out loud and at the same time bring joyful tears to your eyes. It's clear that Kathy understood from the very beginning what it took to be a good mother. You will also read how God gave her a premonition that something tragic was going to happen five months before his death. She didn't know what it was until a knock came on her door one early morning. She opened the door only to see two police officers standing there and one of them was holding her son's drivers license. Through all of their years together with his following closely in her footsteps, she never could havepredicted that Aaron would have had such a short life. Kathy and her sons were so close, it seemed to her that the sun would shine on them forever. One Wednesday evening just as the sun was going down, God called Aaron's name. Even though she has always been a natural teacher of having faith in God the devastation of losing her son has caused her faith to increase even more. You will read how God got her through the lowest stage of her life when no one else was there for her. A Mother In Mourning is not just for someone who has lost a loved one. It is a book that unmistakably teaches us to have faith in God and to realize that life is a journey. Yes, it is a journey that we all must travel and that will one day (make no mistake about it) come to an end.

The Last Lecture

After being diagnosed with terminal cancer, a professor shares the lessons he's learned—about living in the present, building a legacy, and taking full advantage of the time you have—in this life-changing classic. "We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand." —Randy Pausch A lot of professors give talks titled "The Last Lecture." Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them. And while they speak, audiences can't help but mull over the same question: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy? When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave—"Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams"—wasn't about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because "time is all you have . . . and you may find one day that you have less than you think"). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living. In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humor, inspiration and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.
