Synopsis

It’s no secret: Insects can be annoying. They zip around and get in your face, usually while you’re trying to do something productive or have a conversation. Ketchup? Some people take it; others leave it. Sure, it makes burgers and hot dogs taste better, but in the grand scheme of things, it’s just a condiment. Late-night phone calls? Chances are you’re not going to like what you hear on the other end of the line.

These three things probably wouldn’t make it on your list of God’s blessings. But they’re on Daphne’s!

In Dragonflies, Ketchup, and Late-Night Phone Calls, Daphne Tarango reveals why she now sees these minor, insignificant, and annoying things as God’s blessings. Daphne will help you keep a quick journal of how God smiled on you throughout the day—your very own dragonfly, ketchup, and late-night phone-call moments.

Dragonflies, Ketchup, and Late-Night Phone Calls goes beyond general thank-yous to God. Each day begins with a prayer of thanksgiving. You fill in the rest with your specific blessings for that day: Morning, mid-day, evening, and bedtime. There’s even room for jotting down more thank-yous to God on extra pages. (Believe me, you’ll need them.)

Journaling God’s blessings using this 31-day journal can make your good days even brighter. “Hey, God is thinking about me!”

On bad days—maybe even difficult seasons, journaling using Dragonflies, Ketchup, and Late-Night Phone Calls can make your heart lighter and your mind clearer. Your situation might not have changed when you lie down at night, but your lips just might curl up on one end as you think, “That wasn’t such a bad day after all.”

Review:

Reviewed by Valerie Rouse for Readers' Favorite

"Dragonflies, Ketchup and Late-Night Phone Calls: 31 Days of Journaling God's Blessings is a delightful collection of innermost prayers to God... I like the fact that the style of the book resembles a personal ode to God. This rich outpouring of gratitude to God satisfies the soul. This is the first prayer book I have read that gently persuades the reader to do as the Bible says - pray without ceasing... It inspires you and keeps your spirits in a buoyant mood, regardless of your personal situation... [A] brilliant, uplifting piece of literature."
