This instead…

Yesterday was SO much busier than I expected.  The project I am working on didn’t get done so, instead I’ll share a couple of our favorite books right now.

The first is a book my husband is reading to the kids.  I’ve found myself leaving the dinner dishes undone so I can sit down to really listen.  The message in this book is profound and well worth reading whether you are a child or an adult.

Where the Mountain Meets the Moon explores the source of true happiness with such wisdom.  It is truly a pearl of a book.

I’m also reading Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption.  This book is amazing and inspiring.  I am cursing the fact that I actually have a lot to do lately.  As it is, I must carve out a few minutes here and there to read.  But regardless, I love every moment I can find to read Unbroken.

Both books explore the ideas I’ve thought a lot about over the last few years and both are speaking to me words I need to hear.  The power of a good book never ceases to amaze.
