Dedication
To my parents, Bob and AnnaMae Cousart, who have transmitted to me a godly heritage and exemplified God’s love, grace, and forgiveness;
And to my husband, Bob, who has always encouraged and enabled me to develop and utilize the gifts God has given me, and now that he is retired, is my research assistant.
Acknowledgments
To the East Fishkill Community Library Women’s Writing Group, whose members have helped me hone my writing skills;
To all my friends who keep asking, “When will I be able to read your book?”
To my publisher and editorial staff at Ambassador International for all their hard work to make this book a reality;
And, above all, to God, to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and to the Holy Spirit, who lead and guide me, be all glory and honor and praise;
Thanks! I couldn’t have done this without you.
Then they cry out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He brings them out of their distresses.
He calms the storm,
So that its waves are still.
Then they are glad because they are quiet;
So He guides them to their desired haven.
~ Psalm 107:28-30, NKJV
