Recuperative Reading


Today a trip to my favorite dentist for a broken tooth became a trip to an oral surgeon for a tooth extraction. I decided that I'd rather become a professional cage fighter or give birth through my left nostril before I do THAT again!


While recuperating this evening, I have enjoyed some quiet reading time (a luxury that I don't usually allow myself). When I purchased these books, I didn't make a connection between them. Now I giggle when I think about it.


This is an amazing story of one family's journey though the adoptions of 18 children.
Refuge Ranch: A Story For His Glory


My children love watching our Duggar DVDs. It was one of the first times they had seen a family that looked something like ours (times 3, of course). This book really makes you realize that the Duggars are a very real family just trying to live for the glory of God! (And the recipes are wonderful!)
The Duggars: 20 and Counting!: Raising One of America's Largest Families--How they Do It

Both books made me excited for tomorrow when I could get up and love on my children!
