From Lessons to Blessings

When asked how to describe her, a very close friend said, “With Leola, it is a heart thing for she was created to love!” She has always shared her heart with others and looked at the glass half full rather than half empty. She would talk to strangers and leave them feeling happy about the warmth and love she received from the brief encounter.
She loved being the “baby” in the family. Once, she told her mother that she could not whip her, believing that the “baby” should not be whipped. That was one of her earlier painful lesson. This book is dedicated to her mother and grandfather who were the heroes in her life. She received and gave much love to those she met. So, she decided that she wanted to share it with others. God has been very good to her. Throughout her life, she chose to love and believe that “Love is the Greatest Gift.”
Leola Jones is retired after 39 years. She has a daughter, son, and one grandson. She is very close to her family and friends. She loves to volunteer at her church, senior group, travel group, and keeps very active. Currently, she resides in Houston, Texas.
