Being thankful doesn’t always come easy...even for children. Having an attitude of gratitude can change their outlook on life and bring happiness to their hearts. This gratitude devotional encourages children to think about the things in their lives that they are thankful for. Watch their faces light up with smiles as they focus their hearts and minds on things that are good. Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things. Philippians 4:8 NIV

With much exuberant joy, I present the second volume of LOVE INTO POETRY, a book of many wonderful memories for me, of my very wonderful, dear Mother, the late Patty S. Gallucci. These poems are what God has inspired me to write for my own mother, for holidays and special occasions. ..I remember when I would write them, I just couldnt wait for the big day to come, to give them to her. Sometimes, I would even think of excuses to talk her into reading them before the special day they were designated for. I always had appropriate stickers to go with each individual poem, and Mother couldnt get over how adorably and beautifully the pages of poetry were decorated. When I asked Mother what she would like for me to title the group of poems I had written especially for her, instantaneously, she replied, LOVE INTO POETRY. So, LOVE INTO POETRY it is. Volume 1 of LOVE INTO POETRY consists of Mothers Day poems for Mothers and some for grandmothers and many more of various subjects. All of the poems in this book are selected ones that other mothers could possibly relate to, coming from their children. So..HAPPY READING, and I wish everyone, (especially Mothers), who reads this poetrylyrical poetic pleasure, beautiful inspiration, and Motherly enjoyment.

Read My Thoughts is a collection of feelings, thoughts, and insights that I have experienced from day to day. They are made up of ordinary things in life. For the most part they are thoughts and/or insights that come when I'm least expecting them. They often shape my opinions and attitudes in a significant way. Therefore, I write them down so I will not forget them. A few of them have inspired actual life changes. It is like thinking on paper. If anyone wished to get inside my head to see what makes me “tick” the easiest way would probably be to “Read My Thoughts.” Many times when I'd read an article to someone or a group they would say, “You really need to do something with your writing.” This book is a response to that encouragement.

Sometimes we need a little push to get us into the routine of having a prayer time. A Prayer Thought for each day, hopefully will be an encouraging push to do just that.
