Meant to Bee book review

-

 

I'd like to share my review of Meant to Bee with you!

Meant to Bee by Storm Schultz is a sweet contemporary romance story set in the English countryside. Single mom Cordy, an American, and her adorable toddler are the stars of the story. 


As Cordy works to create a home for her daughter she has the most unusual deliveries arrive at her cottage doorstep, including a bee hive! The way several townspeople gather around her in support of a struggling single mom despite the fact that she had her daughter out of wedlock, is touching and a great example of Christian love as they gently point her to God. 


Ronan is sweet, protective, and works hard to help Cordy, whom he just met. Their developing relationship is heartwarming. 


The main character learns to be thankful even when many things seem broken, and faith is lightly touched on. This is a fun, clean read filled with endearing characters and a happy ending!


Here is the description Storm gives:

Single mom Cordy Brown can’t catch a break. Not only does she lose her job, but the quaint English cottage she pools her savings to purchase is the very definition of a money pit. To top it off, a delivery man appears on her doorstep with a shipment of bees and announces she’s their new caretaker! Could life get any more complicated?

Ronan Thomson is only in England for one reason: to drag his underage brother back to Ireland for end-of-year exams. He quickly learns, however, that nothing about this will be simple and he finds himself holding a baby goat on Cordy’s doorstep. Falling for a beautiful American is easy. Ronan’s problems lie in the overabundance of animals, his stubborn brother, and the unexpected guest from Cordy’s past.

Can Cordy and Ronan overcome all the obstacles standing between them? After all, some things just feel meant to bee.


It's available as an ebook (and on Kindle unlimited), paperback, and she recently added an audiobook! Order here: Amazon

Learning to Forgive

-

The old man creeps down the street in his truck and I fuss. Doesn't he know people are in a hurry? I get distracted and pull out in front of someone, causing them to honk their horn. Good grief, can't they be patient? It's funny how we expect others to forgive us, but we get angry about the very same things with others.  The previous examples were just everyday situations with no long term consequences, but what if someone wrongs us in a way that is more serious? We may put it behind us, but can we forgive them? What if they have harmed us or someone we love? Would we be able to follow the words of Luke 6?  Luke 6:35, 37-38 ESV - 35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. ... 37 "Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; 38 give, and it will be

Bringing Christ to Christmas Gift Giving

-

What better way to put Christ back into Christmas than to give Christ centered gifts! When our first child had his first Christmas we decided to give only 3 gifts as a reminder that Jesus received 3 gifts from the wisemen. Each gift had a category: want, need, and spiritual. As the children have gotten older and are adults, the want and need often overlap.  There have been so many benefits from this. Limiting the gifts has been great at keeping the focus more on Christ. Rather than spending this season figuring out what they want, our children's focus has been freed up for other things. They are actually often at a loss, because gifts for themselves are not their top priority. It has been a benefit for us as parents, not just financially, because we don't have to stress out about getting them the perfect gift.  Another special benefit is getting to search for something to help them in their spiritual walk. Through the years the availability of Christ centered things has grown a

Review of The Designated Valentine by Drew Taylor

-
Image
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In The Designated Valentine Drew Taylor weaves past and present together to gradually reveal how Karoline and Mason went from long time best friends to enemies to love. This is a sweet, clean romantic comedy that doesn’t overdo the comedy and only contains kissing, though it does discuss the battle with attraction the main characters have and how they want to be careful because of their faith. Drew includes a warning at the beginning of the book that there is also some mention of alcohol as this book deals with a past addiction. Drinking is not promoted. Both Karoline and Mason think they’ve matured since they last spoke three years before, but they still have room to grow and as a reader I enjoyed my front row seat to see that growth. It’s a great representation of the battles we often face in relationships of all kinds — some from our misperceptions of who we are because of things people in our lives have said or done, and some because we struggle to forgive thinking the o
