1) Salvation through Jesus Christ alone. Once I understood that it was his sinless
life and death that took away all of my sins my life has been changed forever!
2) God's love and patience with me. Sometimes I marvel at how many times the
Lord has to teach me a lesson over and over again. Yet, I know He is faithful and
loves me despite my human failings.
3) My husband, Jack. We have been through so much together through nearly
36 years! I am so grateful for a husband who loves God and does His best to
follow Him each day. Not only that, he is a loving and faithful husband, supportive
and a wonderful provider.
4) My children. My favorite "job" was bringing up my three sons and I miss those
days. I'm glad I've gotten a chance to be a mom.
5) For Community Bible Study. It's given me a chance to study God's word in-depth
and given me a chance for fellowship with wiser women than I am!
There are so many more things I could say I'm thankful for; this is just the tip of
the iceberg.
About Secrets and Wishes:
Stone Creek, Michigan - April, 1901: Maggie Galloway and Thomas Harper clash after their sons collide in a fistfight. Both widowed, they're each doing their best as a parent to their children. Outgoing Maggie has dreams for a home of her own and a business to provide for her son as she searches for God's path for her life as a widow. Reserved Thomas struggles to establish his new pharmacy and take care of his four rambunctious children, while wondering how a loving God could take his beloved wife.
When Thomas becomes deathly ill, Maggie is recruited to nurse him back to health. Taking the children in hand, as well, is more than she bargained for, but she is drawn to help the grieving family. Both nurse and patient find themselves drawn to each other but promptly deny their feelings.
A baking contest sponsored by the Silver Leaf Flour Company brings former beau, Giles Prescott, back into Maggie's life. When Giles offers Maggie a position at their test kitchen in Chicago, he hints that, along with assuring her a good job, it will allow them to possibly rekindle their relationship.
But then a charlatan comes to town, and tragedy soon follows. Maggie and Thomas discover the miracle potions he hawks aren't so harmless when an epidemic hits Stone Creek. Thomas and Maggie realize they must work together to save lives.
Maggie finds herself caught up in battles within and without the battle to help the townsfolk in the midst of illness and chicanery, and the battle to know which man Thomas or Giles deserves to win her heart.
