A Blog by Charlotte H. Burkholder

I never thought I’d write a book! But I did and am excited to tell you how it came to be.

I’ve lived a lot of life, therefore I can speak from the past. In upcoming blogs, I will tell you about my present and future life, but for now let’s go waaaay back to when I was a kid. I always loved to read. My favorite subjects in school were reading, writing, and not arithmetic. I married a CPA, so my husband took care of the numbers.

Oh, I should tell you that my life’s goal in my earlier years was to get married and have a family. Well, that goal was wondrously fulfilled as I now have a fantastic family to write about. Our four married children, who gave us twelve grandchildren, who are now gifting us with great-grandchildren–six, so far and counting, unknowingly furnished most of the material for this book.

I have chosen to write a story about each member of my family. Initially, I thought of it as becoming a legacy for them–a place to record their histories as well as ours when we were children. But as I wrote, showing them how God was a part of their lives, I realized that I wanted everyone to know what I was hoping to convey to my children and grandchildren. They have a God who loves them and wants to be involved in every part of their lives. Entitled, “Family Stories for God’s Glory,” it carries the message of finding God in all of life’s moments, whether or not one recognizes His presence at the time. The good, the bad, the happy, the sad, from the highest mountain to the lowest valley, He is there.

Come along and learn more about how “Family Stories for God’s Glory” found its way to the publisher’s desk. See you soon.
