Picking Strawberries: Prayer-Poems to Nourish the Soul

Sister Melannie believes strawberries are one of God's "greatest little blessings." "Picking Strawberries" is a collection of 61 prayer-poems that celebrate a wide variety of life's blessings-both little and large. Some poems celebrate obvious blessings: the power of love, the gift of faith, prayer, a grandmother's courage, the beauty of flowers, a loyal dog. Other poems tackle more difficult themes: unfulfilled longings, serious illness, the end of a friendship, the death of a loved one. Some focus specifically on the life and teachings of Jesus, whereas others highlight significant scripture passages like Mary's visit to Elizabeth, the cure of the ten lepers, the raising of Lazarus.Each poem includes a brief commentary, some questions for personal or group reflection, and appropriate scripture references for further prayer and sharing. With wisdom, wit, and tenderness, Sister Melannie has written a wonderful book that is bound to lead readers to a greater appreciation of the many blessings in their personal lives. "Picking Strawberries" makes a great gift-for yourself, a friend, or both
