Finding Bliss: Kisses from Katie

Every now and then I find a book that I can’t stop reading. I love to read but I must admit I am picky about the books I read. I often don’t read for long periods at a time just because I can’t find a book that I am necessarily interested in. And they say we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but leave it to me to do just that. I can usually tell if I’ll like a book just by reading the first page. Something about the writing style captivates me to the point of no return. My record amount of time spent in Barnes n Noble is actually five hours. FIVE HOURS! Do you know what you can do with five hours? You can drive to Medford in four and a half!

Anyway, the book I haven’t been able to put down is called Kisses from Katie by Katie Davis.

I somehow saw it on Pinterest and was interested in the cover. From there, I went to Amazon.com to read what it was about and I knew I would love it. I bought it right then with kindle –Kindle is so freakin cool. I don’t even have an actual kindle, just the app for my macbook, but I love it—and I’ve been reading it non-stop. I’m actually not even done yet but I still felt like I needed to share what this book has done for me already.

Kisses from Katie has brought me another step closer to bliss, because it reminded me of the drive and passion I used to have for life. I always worked to become a better person and I always wanted to do something to help others. When I joined my church Hopecity,I can remember telling my pastor how I really wanted to do something bigger than myself (and I did for a while and then I made my little transformation that it mentioned in previous entries). Kisses from Katie reminded me why I wanted to help others, why it’s important to help others, and furthermore, it taught me more about love.

The children that Katie describes in this book are without a doubt in some of the worst living situations in the world. It’s so easy to forget that not everyone has food, not everyone has running water, not everyone has soap, not everyone has medical care, and not everyone has love. How easy it is for us to go about our day complaining about silly things (white people problems? lol). I do it every day of my life. But Katie Davis has reminded me that the greatest gift we can receive is the one we get when we give.
