“My parents have exemplified the principles of giving, forgiving and thanksgiving. They inspire me to test my faith in the area of giving, and their generous lifestyle is something to aspire to in my own life. I’ve witnessed countless acts of generosity done in private with no credit given.
“Conflict comes to all of us, but I am amazed to see how my parents continually extend grace and forgiveness to those who wrong them. I have seen my parents emerge from the chrysalis of conflict and pain with their faith more vital and hearts soft, willing to let go and move forward. I am amazed at their resilience in the face of disrespect and disloyalty. Similarly, their capacity for forgiveness is just as generous.
“I am thankful for my parent’s example, and I believe their attitude of gratitude is what allows them to continue giving and forgiving. It is the secret to their largeness of heart in the face of life challenges.”
“You can read this book knowing that these principles of giving, forgiving and thanksgiving come from a tested life of authenticity. If you can embrace this message, you will be tapping into a treasure that will yield rewards not only for yourself but for your children and their children after that.”
