註釋"God Gives Joys to Balance out the Sorrows of our Lives" was originally intended as a legacy for the author's family, but as she found it was encouraging to a much larger audience, she decided to publish. You will laugh, cry, rejoice and find healing as you identify with her honesty, and resiliency throughout devastating challenges of heartbreak and loss. She is an example to us, that even when we can't hold on any longer, God will not let go of us. Much of the content has been condensed from the Author's journaling. Its flow, in chronological order, captures emotions and growth during different seasons of her life, making it a story that people of all ages can identify with. Following are comments that she received from friends who read her first manuscripts. "At first glance this book looks like a story of a woman and her 3 deceased husbands. But on closer examination it is revealed that this is a book about a greater relationship with Jesus Christ; first for salvation, then family, trials, loss, grief, recovery, renewal, hope, and on and on. It is about trust in the Creator of the World and how one faithful woman lived and is living it out." "I couldn't sleep last night and it's your fault I couldn't put your book down " "WOW IMPRESSIVE WONDERFULLY DONE " "Lillian you are truly a renaissance woman with a Pioneer spirit. It is so encouraging for me to see how faithful the Lord is to a heart that is surrendered to Him. Lil, you have such a gift of writing and such an awesome story to tell." A grieving man at his young wife's funeral, took me in his arms and cried, saying " I am having such a hard time, but your book helped me so much, especially the last part. I gave it to Hospice and told them that all their volunteers need to read it." Author Bio - Mrs. Saksek was born during the Great Depression, grew up during WWII, married at age 18, had 5 children, 4 of them born before she became the proud owner of an automatic washer and dryer. This meant washing cloth diapers and hanging them out on the line to dry, with them freezing before she could get them hung up. They did not have a car or a telephone and purchased their first home for $2,800. Blue Cross/ Blue Shield cost $3.30 a month and they often had to search the drawers for the last 30 cents. She had to give the hospital a $25 payment before her son was born in 1956. After her 5 days stay, $20 was returned. Loneliness was her middle name as her husband worked 6-7 days a week. Well, we will let her story speak for itself. Suffice it to say that at nearly 80 years old, she just lost her 3rd husband, but she still walks in the joy of the Lord every day. Lillian has always found an outlet for her emotions in poetry, some of which are included at appropriate places in her book. keywords: Joy, Sorrow, Hope, Death, Challenge, Balance, Faithful, Commitment, Love, Heaven
