What's in Your Library Bag Wednesday??

Here we are at Wednesday again and I am wondering what's in your library bag today? I would have thought that staying home with my son would have given me ample time to read, but I only managed to re-read an Anita Blake, Vampire Slayer favorite and read a small Christmas story by Karen Kingsbury.

The Karen Kingsbury book was Sarah's Song and it was one of her Red Glove Series. The Red Glove Series is a collection of short Christmas stories that always include a pair of red gloves in the story along with the inspirational message. At the end of the books, Karen lists ideas for Red Glove Projects you can do in your own community. Sarah's Song was a story about love, love lost and love regained, second chances and God's grace if you only believe. Sarah, recounts her life through a series of word ornaments that trigger different memories in her life throughout the 12 days of Christmas. Beth, one of her caregivers at the retirement village, who also is having marriage problems, listens to Sarah's story and her heart is softened through the telling. In the end, Sarah's song, yes it's an actual song, too, transforms her life and Beth's as well and inspires readers to take a second look and give second chances in love. What else really matters?

So, the red glove projects in the back of the book coincide with the story. Karen suggests taking a box of red gloves and caroling at a retirement village. Or just picking a single resident to visit during the holidays and giving him/her a pair of red gloves. There are more ideas of giving for the readers and Karen Kingsbury inspires you to come up with your own and spread the good will.

Her red glove series are a nice short feel good read that inspires more out of us in life. I would recommend this uplifting series to anyone.
