GOD'S GOT THIS ... WITH A WINK

GOD'S GOT THIS ... WITH A WINK

SQuire Rushnell2 comments

“Lately I’ve had a lot of things on my mind including the health of my grandfather, POPO, called that because one cousin couldn't pronounce "grandpa".
 
I was thinking about him while waiting at a stop light, and the car to my right had a LICENSE PLATE that read POPO.
 
My heart leapt! What are the odds?
 
But then … I looked to my left. That car had a license plate that read: GODLVU!
 
Instantly, I felt a PEACE and my worries began to vanish. Thanks to my GODWINK I knew God was telling me, 'I got this!'"

Pam’s story of HOPE and ENCOURAGEMENT reaffirms that Godwinks are like little gifts left at your door. You just need to open the door and open your gifts.
 
Have a wonderful Godwink-filled day!
 
When you’re looking to bring someone a token of appreciation, a get-well expression or congratulatory gift … consider giving a book of hope … every Godwinks book is signed… and offers a free greeting card to accompany it.

A PENNY'S WORTH OF GODWINKS

A PENNY'S WORTH OF GODWINKS

SQuire Rushnell1 comment
“My SON Logan passed away at age eight from MYOCARDITIS. It was an awful time and I turned to God through it all.
 
My friend mentioned your books and one of the stories was about a FOUND PENNY ... that it may be a SIGN of HOPE when someone has passed away.
 
Days later, while on a walk, I found ONE PENNY on the ground.
 
Then in about two blocks, I found another penny. By the time I got home, I had 89 PENNIES!
 
I could just imagine Logan TOSSING them from HEAVEN … saying ‘I’m here mom!’
 
Faith-filled books have helped me through my grief.”
 
Laurie Johnson

I cannot imagine the grief borne by the mother of a lost child. But, I do accept that God finds ways to send us signs and wonders … Godwinks … to help lift us toward hope and recovery.
