This week, until 29 November, Kevin Mayhew Ltd are offering 10 per cent off my book Touching the Seasons, normally selling at £7.99. That means a saving of 80 pence using the code THESEASONS10 when ordering the title from the company’s website. Just type the code into the relevant box at the online checkout between the dates given.
Meanwhile, here’s the last of the sessions I’ll be posting this week from the book, to run alongside this promotion.
The Christmas present
Was my effort appreciated?
Probably not.
The hours of thinking what to buy,
shopping around
and then lovingly wrapping it,
scarcely even considered.
But that didn’t matter,
for I wasn’t looking for thanks,
my sole motive in buying the gift
being to bring pleasure –
to add to my child’s happiness and express my love.
Thank you, Lord, for your love,
constantly reaching out
though I fail to appreciate all you’ve given
or how much it cost you.
Thank you that your love and goodness
is not dependent on my deserving,
but goes on being poured out day after day,
generous beyond measure.
Amen.
