Is this the cutest cover you've ever seen, or what? I'm so excited to give you a peek at this book which is coming soon. And, I'm equally thrilled to say that Eileen included some of my quotes in this book. This would make a wonderful Mother's Day gift. Read on to find out more about this gift book.
Kids can take us right to the heart of God, one way or another. When they provoke frustration, we breathe a silent prayer for grace. When they incite giggles, we hear God’s laughter as well. When they stimulate an endearing moment, we sense God’s touch. When they utter a profound statement, we step back in wonder.
What is this phenomenon a little one evokes?
Bubbly ripples of laughter that transport us to another realm. Unabashed honesty that cuts to the chase. Joy splashing around our ankles, light spilling into shadow, awakening us to a childlike appreciation for the world around us.
If we take the time, if we listen, if we stoop to their level, we can go where kids go—straight to the heart of God.
Wit & Wisdom from the Wee Ones is a collection of cute quips and quotes inspired by Eileen’s grandchildren. Along with other contributors, Eileen cracks the door to the whimsical, yet often wise world of the child.
Lean in close . . . you may just hear God’s heartbeat.

Clean up your act
Three-year-old Maddie is rather outspoken at such an early age.
She spotted a man with a tattoo while riding in a shopping cart during her mother's grocery trip.Maddie knew it was her duty to advise the man, for she knew the trouble she had encountered when she had drawn on her own arms with markers.As the man came back into sight, she proclaimed in her best southern drawl: "You need to clean that mess off!"
