The Christmas Coins

 

The Christmas Coins was inspired by the parable of the lost coin. (Luke 15:8-10)  What woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. I love so much about this parable. I love that the woman's first act is to light a candle. She shines a light on the loss--she doesn't try to hide it, but she examines it. Then, she cleans house! The cleaning is part and parcel of the seeking. She doesn't sit and wait for someone else to come and help, instead; she gets busy. I hope whatever you're looking for in your life; you find. Sometimes, it's hard to know exactly what will make us happy. So often, I find myself looking in all the wrong places, climbing all the wrong ladders, and chasing the wrong dreams. I have to stop and remember that I might not know which tail (or, as an author--which tale) I should be chasing, but Heaven does. And Heaven's help is just a prayer away.   When your prayers are answered in unexpected ways... For more than a hundred years, Zoe Hart's family has been buying keepsake gold coins and banking them in a small wooden box treasured by each generation. When Zoe loses the box--a precious symbol of her family's dreams for so long--she is heart-sick. When Ethan and his daughter Hannah face a crisis, Hannah prays for help. When she finds the coin box, she believes her prayer has been answered. But prayers can have many answers... and not only what is wished for. And sometimes, the greatest miracles hoped for are the least of the blessings bestowed. Book four in the popular Canterbury Romance series. All books can easily be enjoyed in any order.
