    About this ebook

    Love and Forgiveness: Reflections from the Heart, is about the power of forgiveness and the healing that it brings. It is a reminder that no one escapes death, and the sad truth that not everyone will go to heaven

    Too many will die without knowing Jesus, and the time has come to put aside all things to tell the world of God’s great love, His grace, mercy, and forgiveness.

    This book is a reminder that we are nothing without God, and its purpose is to encourage others to seek God’s face while we still can. To read His word with an open heart asking for discernment and understanding, to live every day in a way that is pleasing to Him, and to acknowledge before the world that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior of all. God is all powerful with a wrath of fury, yet He loves unconditionally with an abundance of grace and forgiveness. God’s will is for all people to see the world through His eyes, to accept and love everyone including our enemies, To remember that everything we have belongs to Him and that where we live is not our home. Our home is with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

They are blessed with a blended family of five adult children and spouses, thirteen grandchildren and one great-grandchild. The couple resides in Myrtle Beach, SC with their two Shih Tzu, Elwood and Cassie, and their cat, Winston.Dianne considers herself an ordinary person in the midst of life's journey, saved by faith, believing in Jesus Christ as her risen Lord of all. "My hope is that somehow my writings and the subtle messages within each book will help readers find peace within their worlds. I want to encourage others to pursue their dreams, to be survivors, not victims, to find healing through forgiveness, and perhaps to see the world through different eyes.”Dianne welcomes the opportunity to speak before your group or organization. She has a special interest in the homeless, battered women and children. A donation to various women and children shelters across America will come from the sale of each book.

      FOREWORD

      Why I wrote Love and Forgiveness

      God has been tugging on my heart for quite some time to tell others about the power of forgiveness and the healing that it brings. Instead of acting upon His will, I have procrastinated by allowing other things to come before Him. Following God’s will to write this book required me to step out of my comfort zone. I think part of my reluctance came from fear, not of Jesus, but fear of baring my soul to the eyes of strangers.

For whatever reason, the reality of death became an eye opening experience after the recent passing of special people in my life...People who touched my heart and the hearts of so many others. The sting of death has been no stranger to me. I lost my father, then my dear mother. I’ve lost many aunts, uncles,
