The Miracle of a Child

People we cherish, our friends, our family, neighbors, church and community all play a special part as we walk the road with fellow pilgrims on a journey to be as Christ to others. This book, The Oak Inside the Acorn is about the path of life. It is appropriate for the young and old as we lose the people we hold dear to our heart. It gives a perspective to help us treasure their gifts and the memories that were shared.

Soon Little Acorn grew into Little Oak. But now what was he to do? He couldn't grow oranges like the orange tree or flowers like the rose bush. He just grew and grew until he became Big Oak, and his branches were big and strong-but still he didn't know what he was to do.

Then one day Big Oak found that his strong branches were just right for a very special purpose. The Oak Inside the Acorn is the story of the miracle inside each of us. For within every child is the special person God created, just waiting to grow.

This book is also the story of letting go of children as they move on in their lives to marriage and careers, sometimes far away from their loving family. It is a reminder that they take us with them in little pieces of their personality or manners or thoughts as they create the fabric of their own lives.
