Thankful for My Relationships by B.J. Bassett
I am thankful for my relationships—with my husband, my children, and with friends. The most important relationship I am grateful for is the one I have with my Heavenly Father.
He put a desire in my heart as a little girl to seek him. My family moved a lot and my parents did not attend church, so if a neighbor didn’t take me to Sunday school, I walked to a neighborhood church. I was always welcomed in those places of worship. When I was a teenager, I accepted Jesus as my personal Savior and my relationship with my precious Lord has grown and flourished these many years. I have the joy and peace that only comes from knowing Him. I am thankful for all my relationships—especially the one I have with my Daddy God.

About Gillian’s Heart:
Gillian Grant, abandoned by her alcoholic parents, is raised by her grandmother in a beach house in California.
As a tribute to Gram’s memory, Gillian restores the house and hires Dusty to help her. Dusty shares the apartment above the garage with Gillian’s childhood friend, Josh.
Gillian and Dusty have nothing in common, except the restoration of the house. Gillian suffers from anorexia and is in denial. While she has a strong faith in God, Dusty is an unbeliever.
Betsy, Gillian’s mother, returns and announces the house was left to her, not Gillian, and she plans to sell it.
Gillian always dreamed of her wedding in her grandmother’s garden overlooking the Pacific. Will there be a wedding? Who will capture Gillian’s heart—stable Josh or can she trust Dusty, a new Christian, who has kept secrets from her? And who holds the deed to the house?
