This book is a collection of personal reflections contributed by 30 different people of the goodness of God. The title embraces the idea that these events are worthy of not only remembering them, but celebrating how they enhance our understanding of the very character of God. The stories range from major life-changing events such as being spared from danger or something that established a direction in life, to seeing the goodness of God in an ordinary life activity. The vision of the book is to capture stories that can be passed on to our children and grandchildren that provide them assurance that God is at work in our lives, providing direction, protection, and love. Additionally, we hope that these stories will provide encouragement for persons in the final stage of life's journey who may need a reminder that God remains faithful in the struggles associated with aging. As Ecclesiastes reminds us, "e;There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens"e; (Eccl 3:1). These are our stories of God's goodness in various seasons of our lives.
