      "Three small words as humble and unassuming as my grandmother herself. Short, sweet, and powerful, they were more than a wish. I came to understand these words as a holy petition." This book describes how one woman interrupted a lifetime of struggle and stepped into the freedom for which she was made. When Kim Smith's grandmother passed away at age 95, she left no inheritance except her loving example and "Enjoy Your Life", her closing words spoken at each parting. Kim's grief brought desperation, her curiosity sparked a shift, and God's true nature was fully revealed. Expanding faith fueled a journey of spiritual transfiguration and birthed a desire to promote this powerful three word legacy. The purpose of this book is to do just that.
