In this collection of poems, Dodi Cox opens her heart about God's role in our everyday lives, from the dark hours of heartbreaking grief to times of joy to the all-encompassing peace that is ours through Christ. Dodi captures small, seemingly ordinary moments-the sight of a tiny red bird, time spent playing cherished old hymns on the piano-and turns them into celebrations of life and God's love. In addition, she does not shy away from sharing her struggles with illness-both hers and her husband's-and with learning to live with the loss of loved ones. But with a spirit of compassion, Dodi also reaches beyond her immediate surroundings to honor those who have served and are serving our country, and remembers the survivors of the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti. No matter where you are or what you're going through in your life, you'll find hope and encouragement through these poems. From the prayers uttered during a medical crisis, to tributes to friendship, to the whimsical "Honey," we are assured that God has many ways of speaking to us and knows what is on our hearts. His love is always there, ready to comfort us, uplift us, celebrate with us. We are, indeed, never alone.
