Book Review and Giveaway- "Baby Wren and the Great Gift"

Image
By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!



The Baby Wren and the Great Gift, written by bestselling author Sally Lloyd-Jones and illustrated by Jen Corace, is a celebration of all the wonderful gifts God has given us. The tiny wren marvels at the incredible creatures around her, all the while wishing she had a special gift to share. As she takes in the beauty of the world around her, she discovers a unique talent that’s been inside her all along.


My Review:

This is a powerful story that is going to encourage all readers. We all have gifts and talents and sometimes it is hard to believe we have any.  As the story moves along we continue to see thanksgiving of other animals gifts as baby wren realizes she does have gifts.   This hard covered book is a quick read that many ages will enjoy.  I love the water color pictures that are warm yet bright.  By the end of the story we are celebrating Wren and her gifts.  It makes it an easy transition to discuss how everyone has different gifts and talents as we are all unique yet all made in the image of God.

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...
