Bringing her trademark candor, wry wit, and warmth, award-winning author Margaret Agard gives us a smart, funny and timeless memoir appealing to both skeptics and believers, alike.
Already overwhelmed with her five-page long to-do list thanks to a new marriage, two sons facing the tumultuous teen years, and demanding work, she’s called on to organize care for the women of her church from the young mothers to grieving widows. In desperation, she turns her list over to God each day asking, “What do I do today?” He fills her life with experiences both touching and quirky from hospital visits to screaming peacocks culminating in her heart-felt changed relationship with God.
Filled with captivating characters, down to earth spirituality, and sparkling stories of life with Parker and the boys. Agard brings both profound insight and self-deprecating humor to the simplest of life’s moments.
Each finely crafted piece illuminates the small and great events of a woman’s life with strength and compassion while the whole creates a memorable experience, that lingers long after the memoir is finished.

Perfect for perfectionists!
I loved reading this book! It was simple and had short stories I learned great lessons from, that of being patient and trusting God more. God does care about how we use or time and will guide us to those in need, especially those in our own families. This was a treasure for me because I am a list maker and I am now praying to do more of what God needs me to do. I have shared stories and have sent this book to two friends. Now I am reading it again. Thank you, Margaret! I can’t wait to read your next books!
