Calling All Readers!

What literary work have you read where you really resonated with a character? My favorite character is “Eddie” in Mitch Albom’s the Five People You Meet In Heaven. He learns so many lessons as all of us do. I love his lesson of reuniting with Captain. Eddie sustained a lifelong injury and a severe limp while at war with the Captain. Eddie ended up not pushing himself as he could have in life because of his physical ailment. He was continually stuck on what he didn’t have and constantly reliving his past. Captain stepped on a land mine and passed away. His passing saved the lives of Eddie and the others that were with them. Eddie learns the importance of sacrifice (both big & small) and that in every loss there is a gain. Life has it’s ups and downs. Our future, most of the time, depends on our attitude and choice to press forward. Keep praising God! It’s always by His grace.
