Broken Jars - Albertine Perrier

\nIsaiah 64:8 says, But now, O Lord, thou art our father, and we are the clay, and thou the potter, and we are the work of thy hand.\n \n\n \nLife can be difficult and take us on unexpected paths. The paths can lead to tough circumstances and dark places of uncertainty. At times, we think our troubles will never end. This book has my personal life story of my struggles to overcome the dark spaces in my life by letting God's love light my path. My faith in God's promises, my coming to Jesus, and prayer has helped me through many difficult times.\n \n\n \nMy mother wrote her childhood memories for me when she was in her eighties, and I interviewed her for more information. She was born in 1910. Then I asked my daughter, Annette, to write about her over fifty-year journey with type 1 diabetes. My grandson, Randy, suddenly became ill in his senior year and was told he had mental illness but was given a wrong diagnosis and medication. His story is included plus his mother's writing regarding his illness on a notebook. There are poems and other stories. The book has 160 photos. It has taken me many hours to put this book together, but if it helps one person, it will be a blessing. God will never forsake you. He will put together your broken vessel.\n \n\n \nPsalms 31:12 says, I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind. I am like a broken vessel. And Psalms 147:3 says, He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.\n \n\n \nThis is a book of hope that God compelled me to write, and even though I am ninety-one, due to a recent visual impairment, I had to hold a magnifying glass so I could see when typing the words.\n
