Book Review: The Silent Gift by Michael Landon Jr. and Cindy Kelley
Recently I have been engrossed in The Silent Gift. From the beginning, I have been captivated. The plot is full of unexpected twists and turns. It never continues the way I expect it to go which is why it is hard to put down. The book is about a young lady and her son who is a deaf-mute. Without giving away much of the plot, the lady and her child find themselves in places in which they never anticipated or wanted to be. Along the journey they discover a very special gift that Jack, the boy has that helps others. They also meet many people providentially through the circumstances they are forced to endure and through the gift that Jack has. Mary, the young lady, discovers much about herself and realizes that even though she has a deaf-mute child that he is a special gift from God. He not only is a special gift from God to Mary, but to many others, as he helps them through his unusual gift from God.
I would recommend this book to others because it is captivating and well written. Many novels are just about romance and this one is not and that is why I was drawn to select it from Bethany House Publishers for a book review.

Anger
Do you ever find yourself at a stand still with your children concerning anger in either yourself or your children? I admit that I do. It is far easier to be unfair or to yell because I don't want to take the time necessary to find out what the heart of the issue is. However, the Bible teaches us something different, "he who loves his children will discipline them", "a soft answer turns away wrath", "do not provoke your children to wrath", "the heart of the wise ponders how to answer", and "the heart of the wise teaches his mouth and adds learning to his lips". I recently purchased a book that came highly recommended by many friends that will address these issues that I struggle with and am sure that many other mothers struggle with as well. The name of the book is The Heart of Anger by Lou Priolo. As I read this book I will enlighten other moms as to the wisdom that I will be learning. Motherhood is a journey that I am currently on and am excited to share the wisdom and struggles that I face on a daily basis to hopefully help other moms on this same journey.

You Know You're A Large Family If...
1. You return from a shopping trip with 7 loaves of bread, 5 gallons of milk, 7 boxes of cereal, 4 bags of apples, 4 bunches of bananas, and many other things and you are asked if you are stocking up for the month and you reply, "no, this is just for 1 week."
2. Couponing becomes a Monday family event.
3. You have to make many trips to the doctor and dentist just for all of your children to get in their yearly check-ups.
4. You don't get many invites for dinner because people are overwhelmed at the size of your family and the cost it will take to feed them all.
5. 4 loads of laundry is a daily chore.
6. Sweeping and mopping the floor occurs 3 times a day.
This list can and will continue as I think of more to write.
