Your Gift to Me

By Victoria Yannuzzi

This book is another gift from our Lord, who has blessed me with the resources to bring it into print. I would like to share with you how the cover of this book, came about. One morning as I gazed from my front window; at the sunrise the view of Gods reflection in nature touched my whole being. I went for my camera, to capture the beauty, but found it could not portray the glorious and awesome display of creation and His presence in every aspect of my life. I hope you, my family, and friends, and all those who will read the words written will come to see His gifts in each and every moment.

Victoria Yannuzzi

I was born of immigrant parents in 1930. My family though was poor in material things, was rich in faith, caring, tenderness, and love. My father was a veteran of World War 1, and so proud to be an American. My mother had no education, she could not read or write, but was a person of deep faith and her faith, I know, impacted deeply on my life. I was married at twenty and now celebrating fifty-six years of a great marriage, we are blessed with three sons and nine grandchildren. My poems, written and collected over the years are the legacy I wish to leave to my children and grandchildren, that they may share that part of my inner life. I also hope, with the printing of this book, that those who have visions and dreams of the impossible, will be inspired and encouraged, with God’s help, to accomplish their labor of love, and see as I have the purpose of their life fulfilled.

Preface

This book is another gift from our Lord, who has blessed me with the resources to bring it into print. I would like to share with you how the cover of this book, came about. One morning as I gazed from my front window; at the sunrise the view of God’s reflection in nature touched my whole being. I went for my camera, to capture the beauty, but found it could not portray the glorious and awesome display of creation and His glory. I truly have been blessed with the ability to recognize His presence in every aspect of my life. I hope you, my family, and friends, and all those who will read the words written will come to see His gifts in each and every moment.

He has created each life to reflect His love and goodness. The joy of life, is to share each day, in the knowledge that we have been touched with His Love.

May all your hopes and dreams come to know and see that all things are possible in His care and love; we only have to look behind the darkness that comes to block His light.

I have also included 2 poems, written by our youngest son, Frank dedicated to
