CHRISTIAN LOVE STORIES

"When I found the one I love, I held him and would not let him go" (Song of Solomon 3:4). My name is Kristy Dykes, and I write Christian love stories for Barbour Publishing...perhaps because I live with a hero husband. At this site, I cover marriage, romance, and Christian fiction. These book titles make me smile--and offer great truths: Sometimes I Wake Up Grumpy and Sometimes I Let Him Sleep, Love Extravagantly, Every Marriage Is A Fixer-Upper, Red-Hot Monogamy.

MY NEW RED CHRISTMAS SHOES

Tia Julie bought her niece Clauda (our 3-year-old granddaughter) a new red Christmas outfit, complete with the most snazzy red shoes. They're made of glittery-like fabric accented with lace, and they have a back strap and wedge heels.

Here, Claudia is admiring them as Tia Julie holds her.

Tia means aunt in Spanish; Claudia lives in San Juan, Puerto Rico, with her mommy, our daughter Jennifer, and her daddy and brother Lorenzo.
