Oh Karen!! I didn’t know who had drawn those beautiful illustrations, so I looked up the source to see if I could get a copy and found it was YOUR book! Yay!! Ordering copies for my children today!

I’m grateful for brothers and sisters in Christ, like you, who follow Christ in every way He leads, no matter what is typical in our culture.

I admire your willingness to follow the Lord and limit materialism in your life in such a purposeful way.

We talk about that subject often around here, and how materialism, in a broader sense, distracts us from the eternal. It can be so subtle. Even with our relationships, we can lose the eternal hope of things being put right when Jesus returns. Knowing that old disagreements, hurts, and distancing issues will one day vanish, and we’ll enjoy fellowship unencumbered by sin, gives us peace while we endure the present sufferings.

Thank you for being here and sharing your thoughts. I am encouraged.💗

It's on my bookshelf already, waiting for my grandchildren, as yet, unborn, but still I know them. Next to Christmas at Rumpole Mansion and The Lost Princess. I add to my KH collection as I find them.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, Karen, I've enjoyed your writing for years. I wish you a blessed and thoughtful Advent, also.

That is so nice to hear! Many grandparents tell me how they used to read The Rumples and The Barleys to their children and now they read the series to their grandchildren. Or, parents tell me how The Rumples and The Barleys were their favorite books as a child and now they are their children's favorite. Thank you for your continued support and encouragement over the years 🙏

Beautiful! Wonderful news, Karen. I am so grateful to have found you on Twitter and look forward to this next phase with eagerness! We tend to hear interviews with people of accomplishment, not regular souls. May the Lord bless you today and always. X
