Visible Act of Let Go, Let God.

For over twenty years, Mary, Mary Lou
Quinlin's mother, made a habit of jotting down her prayers and placing them in
a box that she called her God Box. This was her way of physically acting out
the habit of giving control to God over all the concerns that filled her
prayers. After her death, the family went through the boxes discovering how
Mary used her God Boxes to help her minister to her family and others through
her prayers, and the gift of listening. In the book, the reader meets Mary
Finlayson and her family, and hears how one mother met daily problems with
prayer and strength to raise her family.
This is a beautiful story of a mother
that relies on God to help her raise her children and actively listen to
others, as well as a daughter’s
move through the grieving process. Toward the end of the story Mary Lou begins
her own God Box, and sees the reasoning as she grows closer to God
