A lovely surprise arrived in my mailbox yesterday. It was a book–a child’s book that I hadn’t ordered. A quick flip-through revealed beautiful illustrations, so I sat down and began to read.
On the title page, I noticed an autograph and a mention of Nathan, so I realized the authors had run across our Nathan’s Prayer website. How incredibly sweet, I thought. And what a coincidence that it arrived on Nathan’s birthday.
The story is tender and precious; and although Amazon lists the reading level as ages 4-8, I suspect most fully grown folks will find themselves getting a little sentimental and teary. I know I did! I am a firm believer that from time to time God gives us little glimpses of eternity, even a few whispers from those who reside there. This tale may be fiction, but I have no doubt that it’s within the realm of possibility. Like they say, God works in mysterious ways!
The Dragonfly Secret–share this heart-warming story with someone who has lost a loved one.

I will have to look for this one. I’m a sucker for good children’s books.
