Having Coffee With Jesus - Paperback

by Patty Lemoine (Author)

Here is a devotional with a twist---a twist of life application, a dash of humor, and a tablespoon of tears, coupled with a large dose of Jesus. What began as a traditional devotional eventually grew to include personal true stories that pertain to biblical lessons. These writings are intertwined throughout the book, giving a clear picture of one woman's walk with the Lord. Our lives consist of difficulties, disappointments, failures, joys, and surprises but, with Jesus, they are given an eternal perspective. This powerful testimony describes the deep sorrows that life brings. It also portrays the joys and sense of humor that live within the author. Walking through the memories, letting the gambit of emotions tumble out to be seen by all, is the key to "Having Coffee With Jesus." One minute you'll be crying; the next will bring laughter as you share in the life stories of a woman changed forever by her Savior. The author's hope is that you will be able to relate her stories to your own, possibly allowing you to laugh at yourself, to forgive the unforgiveable, love the unlovable, and let the Lord bring you to that place of healing in your own life.

Author Biography

Feeling a bit like Whistler's Mother, Patty finally got serious about her writing after retirement. This can only prove one thing. It's never too late to accomplish what God has put on your heart. Always enjoying this gift, she was satisfied in completing her Christmas newsletter for friends and family year after year. Patty's sense of humor has gotten her through the trials of life, as the Lord has been her Teacher, Husband, Provider, Strength, and Wisdom through it all. Qualifications, you ask? Patty's best qualification is that she is a lover of her Savior. Though she doesn't really like to toot her own horn (clarinet), it's only fair to let you know more about her, as you wonder, "What makes Patty think she has anything to say?" So, like Paul, here is one long, run-on sentence: wife, mother, grandmother, business owner, contractor, single's ministry leader, women's ministry co-leader, guest speaker, worship team participant, church secretary, prayer warrior, world traveler, caregiver, Bible study facilitator; she's gone through illness, financial trials, divorce, single parenting, and two cancelled weddings, followed by a marriage orchestrated by the Holy Spirit. She's survived everything life has thrown at her in the strength of the Lord!
