I Give You My Song and God's Rhapsody

Thought- provoking and heartfelt. In grief and loneliness there is faith, in darkness there is clarity, and in forgiveness there is triumph. As each new wave crashes on the shore of life, so brings each new day with hope, choices and promise. Promises made, promises broken, let your spirit be renewed by God's promise. In life's ebb and flow, feel the comfort of His light's glow. Whether you begin on page one or a random selection, you will be captivated by Denise's journey, written with eloquence and grace. This is her song of a life tested and joyfully lived, but always richly blessed.
