AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! Learn the incredible story of Illinois senator and Iraq War veteran Tammy Duckworth and see what inspired her to follow the path that made her who she is today. In Every Day Is a Gift, Tammy Duckworth takes readers through the amazing—and amazingly true—stories from her incomparable life. In November of 2004, an Iraqi RPG blew through the cockpit of Tammy Duckworth's U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter. The explosion, which destroyed her legs and mangled her right arm, was a turning point in her life. But as Duckworth shows in Every Day Is a Gift, that moment was just one in a lifetime of extraordinary turns. The biracial daughter of an American father and a Thai-Chinese mother, Duckworth faced discrimination, poverty, and the horrors of war—all before the age of 16. As a child, she dodged bullets as her family fled war-torn Phnom Penh. As a teenager, she sold roses by the side of the road to save her family from hunger and homelessness in Hawaii. Through these experiences, she developed a fierce resilience that would prove invaluable in the years to come. Duckworth joined the Army, becoming one of a handful of female helicopter pilots at the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom. She served eight months in Iraq before an insurgent's RPG shot down her helicopter, an attack that took her legs—and nearly took her life. She then spent thirteen months recovering at Walter Reed, learning to walk again on prosthetic legs and planning her return to the cockpit. But Duckworth found a new mission after meeting her state's senators, Barack Obama and Dick Durbin. After winning two terms as a U.S. Representative, she won election to the U.S. Senate in 2016. And she and her husband Bryan fulfilled another dream when she gave birth to two daughters, becoming the first sitting senator to give birth. From childhood to motherhood and beyond, Every Day Is a Gift is the remarkable story of one of America's most dedicated public servants.

Jesus gives himself to us in the Eucharist because he loves us. When we receive him in the Blessed Sacrament — body, blood, soul, and divinity — we are united to the humanity and divinity of Christ. Every Day with Jesus is an invitation to reflect on how our encounter with the Real Presence can truly transform our lives in so many ways. This daily devotional is divided into twelve months, with each month highlighting a specific attribute in the life of Jesus. You'll begin each day with a Scripture verse, followed by a brief reflection, a question or an act to consider, and a short prayer to Jesus in the Eucharist to carry through your day. This companion to the daily devotionals Every Day with Mary and Every Day with Saint Joseph fosters spiritual growth and transformation through a renewed personal encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist.
This daily devotional book has been a God-led inspiration from its very start-up; from its original Bible verse and note of encouragement to some coworkers and family members to people around the world via my email network. Our God is so awesome! I've had people return emails to me or speak to me and ask, "How did you know that I needed that today?" or "How did you know I was going through this?" That is when I thankfully remind them that God inspired each and every one of these devotionals. I am just being faithful and following His directions. Now I'm led to put them into a year of daily devotions book to reach others. Occasionally, my emailed devotionals have colored photographs that I take as God inspired message for the day. Unfortunately, I couldn't include those in this book. I did include a photo in grayscale at the beginning of each month; the cover photo is a God-blessed look at an Alaskan sunset. I am so thankful that God is working in my life. I want to encourage each of you to grasp hold of whatever gift He has blessed you with and step out in trust and faith to go forth and to share it with others. When you feel down, just start counting each of the blessings God has touched you with in your life; and you will feel His Presence and comfort to encourage you. We are never alone; He is just a prayer away; nothing is impossible for our God. He is not done with us yet. He is asking us to be obedient in our service to Him, and He will help us grow in our faith. Trust in Him, and you will be astounded at what He has in store for you.
Everyday Gifts is not a book I ever thought I would write. It was not written in a style that I had used before. It was also not a book that was preplanned. Everyday Gifts was written between two other major writing projects during a forty day "desert experience". The book began with a short verse entitled Special Places, written, I thought initially, as a birthday gift for a friend. However, that friend did not seem to appreciate, nor understand my written gift. I soon found out that Special Places was not really a birthday gift for a friend, but for me. As I finished the 25th verse, which ends this book, I realized in a profound way that this special birthday writing was really Our Lord's special birthday gift to me. It was a celebration of the "Gift of Understanding" that had been granted to me many years before. A difficult climb up a mountain of faith had opened the door to an understanding of my entire life. A spiritual light was shed upon each event. I was brought to an understanding of the reason and purpose of each occurrence. Each was put into perspective as they related to God's special plan for my life. Special Places is also about a special promise from Our Lord. A promise I only later realized was my own birthday gift from God. One day Our Lord and I together will visit "His" special places. It is a special promise and a priceless gift of a future point in time that has become permanently engraved in my heart. After the writing of Special Places came a forty day desert-like experience that led up to my 40th birthday. It was a special time when Our Lord seemed to shut out the world in a way that seemed to preserve and protect what belonged to him and me alone. It was not a time I entered into willingly. Most desert experiences, I have found are not. It seemed I was dragged into this time, and into that desert place, kicking and screaming with my toes leaving trails in the dirt. Another of Our Lord's birthday gifts I guess. As those forty days ended, however, it became very clear. The fruit produced during those forty days were works that would have taken others many years to accomplish. As I look back now I can also feel this desert-like time produced, as well, closeness to Our Lord, surrounded by a profound and deep sense of peace. It was a peace I had lost some time before when I allowed the secular world to take over my live. I have now made a solemn vow that one day I will enter another forty day desert experience with Our Lord, but this time on a voluntary basis. I will not have to be dragged there. I will enter willingly and joyfully. I only wonder if under such circumstances a similar desert experience would be as spiritually fruitful. Somehow I know that it will be.
