Life is an Adventure

TREASURED QUIET MOMENTS

 I was so excited to find Ritchie Dawn Hale's second book in my mailbox today and it did not disappoint! Once again, she blows me away with her beautiful descriptions. I love how she takes the seemingly normal moments of life and finds what God is teaching her through them.

Right now I'm in a stage of life where it feels like a million different things are vying for my attention. Treasured Quiet Moments is a call to time out. To breathe and look for the beauty in the little things. I especially loved the idea of living a deeper life instead of just a longer one. So good!

The chapters are bite-sized but written in a way you want to read one after another. This book makes a great daily devotional or a great book to curl up with on an afternoon. I am so excited to continue reading!

This is such a treasure written by our friend Ritchie Dawn Hale. I was able to buy it through Amazon. The title, :Treasured Quiet Moments" says it all. Like a cool drink from a deep well of devotion God uses Ritchie to masterfully provide a shelter of calm for our too busy lives"

You will laugh out loud a few times, and weep, and look forward to HOW is she going to end this beautiful story? It's worth the read. Time well spent. It's "wonderful. Wonderful."

Travel around the country with Ritchie as she searches for answers to the life of her dear Aunt Hallie.  The many quotes from Mom H gave me a chuckle as they truly were the way she said things and viewed life. Everyday was an adventure for her.  An enjoyable read.

I downloaded the book at 6:00 and just finished it. I didn't mean to read it all in one setting but I couldn't stop. I plan to read it again on vacation and take it more slowly so as to savor every image and detail. I laughed and was convicted and cried. The ending is Wonderful! Wonderful! And we should take time to remember.

Truly one of the most heart-warming books I have read. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to meet Richie’s mother-in-law and Aunt Hallie. I enjoyed this trip Richie took us on. It brought memories of my childhood, and a special great-aunt. Anyone who reads this book will enjoy and truly be blessed.

Ritchie's adventure to discover the stories behind Hallie Rogers left me thinking. Around every page or chapter there is a lesson that life never stops moving forward, and what you do today becomes the past people will remember you for, good or bad. And it determines how you will look back at what you did in the past. Are you living today in a way you will regret down the road? Are you taking time to show the ones you love how much you care? Are you seeking to make the world a better place each day for God's glory? Is He your refuge in both the good and the bad times? Do you love others the way you want to be loved? These are all questions I found myself asking as the adventure unfolded and Ritchie discovered many new people and places, and shared much of her life trials and victories along the way. I highly recommend this page-turner.
