His Mistletoe Family Simply Saturday!

Delightful Book Recipe!!!!

Yes, this is a shameless plug Simply Saturday!

"His Mistletoe Family" is now on sale here at AMAZON.COM

And it's being stocked this week in Wal-marts and K-marts and book stores and grocery stores...

Oh my stars, anywhere Love Inspired and Harlequin books are sold! 

And yes, it's sweet. And soulful. And gentle. With a high "aww..." factor.

And my wish for every returning soldier... man or woman....

Is a family to come home to.

And peace on Earth.

Take one hot hero.... Wounded, soulful, questioning, faithful... a man blinded to his own goodness and worth...

Add a delightful heroine, the kind of gal who can't be bought at any cost...

Toss in two orphaned boys, ages 3 and 5, wanting a home. Needing to be loved, cherished and protected... Needing to be someone's special child. Someone's beloved son...

Feel free to go to book trailer here...

Mix in an array of friends.... Good folk, gentle folk, Race-that-knows-Joseph types...

Toss with humor, hope and holly! And we'd be remiss to forget the mistletoe... Right???  ;)

Bake slowly over a month-long season of anticipation.

When nearly done, add a big ol' red dog, faithful to a fault...

A Christmas tree:

And the grace of a newborn child, a child of the poor....

"What Child is This/A Child of the Poor, Ruthy's very favorite Christmas hymn and carol... a true blessing of grace..."

Christmas has so much joy, grace, gratitude and warmth.... so much to be shared.

So for this Simply Saturday I wish you a Simple Christmas as we start the week that ends with the season of anticipation... Advent... Sweet, Light-filled and Prayerful...

And if you go bell-ringing for charity where it's cold, dress warm and wear a bright smile.

God so loves a bright smile!

Happiest of Thanksgivings to all o' youse. You are, each one, beloved.
