“You Are Here”
"My favorite part?...That you are here!" Time with my grandchildren is one of my favorite things. Hearing their sweet little voices squealing, 'Nana! Nana! Nana!' followed by the best hugs in the entire world immediately softens the hard edges that 'adulting' leaves...
Who Was There for Jesus?
As women, we often ask ourselves, "Am I making a difference?" We wonder if the meals we prepare, the prayers we whisper, the encouragement we give, or the quiet acts of service truly matter. When we look at the life of Jesus, the answer is a resounding yes. Although...
