Author Geri Laing shares what really matters in life. As her nest is emptying, as she faces health challenges, and deals with other changes, she stopped to reflect on her life. She offers her reflections with practical teaching about the stuff of everyday life that can often go unaddressed such as understanding what true beauty is, feeling at peace at the end of the day (with what is done and undone), cherishing the blessing of true friendship, knowing what submission is and what it isn't, taming the tongue, dealing with bitterness, and finding victory over worry and anxiety. The book is addressed to Christian women of all ages, offering hope, direction, and encouragement to commit and to recommit their lives to the One who died to set all free: Jesus Christ. Geri says, On the day that we are invited into heavenitself and we hear the words, Well done, good and faithful servant, we will know that we have truly lived the one life that is worth living! Includes application questions at the end of each chapter for personal and small group use. Also includes journal pages at the end to write answers to the questions or to write notes from the book.
